efseiler Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hello all, I spent a grueling 2 hours in the sun today...just to properly fasten a few clamps on my Subaru's air intake system. One of the clamps was very loose... Well, now the engine runs much more smoothly and the backfire problem I previously alluded to has pretty much been eliminated completely. So the moral here is ----> a properly aspirated Subaru is key to its smooth operation. (But you experts already knew that....right?) --Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It is always very satisfying to solve your own Subie problems. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstone Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 You might also run a smoke test to find any other leaks, but you probably licked it. I just ran a smoke test and it found three vacuum leaks! 2 just needed a clamp and one needed a new gasket. Bang and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efseiler Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 I found one more hose that was not properly fastened...so that should about do it. Now it hardly backfires at all...(esp. now that I got the clutch...uh...adjusted). --Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
