Subruise Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) im looking at a 93 imp wag. the guy said it sat for awhile, he replaced the fuel pump after it sat and he says it ran great for weeks. he said it started not firing under load. im thinking timing since this happened to my ea82 and i reset the timing and its purring now. im aware that old/dirty gas could be a problem. MAC and idler sensor replaced. im trying to go look at it this week and itll be my first "new" sube. so whats the deal folks? ***ok, so im going to look at it tonight. what would make the motor puke and die under load? fuel filter? more sensor fun? he said it hasnt had timing belts changed since he bought it 10 years ago. please respond so i can swoop a good deal(hopefully)**** RV Edited August 30, 2010 by Subruise question got more specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 ej22 90 - 96 is non-interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 First year of the Impreza. Not interference! EJ18 (1.8L) engine and, from what I've heard, just as rugged and dependable as the EJ22. Should be easy to work on. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellow65 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 a fuel filter would be a good thing to do cheap plug wires have caused under load problems on a few subarus i have had. start with a good tune up. there really isnt much to go wrong.
