Tronkus Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Hi guys: I still trying to repair my car. But i have a problem. The car make a sound constantly like a bee. It's not the engine, because i check the engine and the sound is in the rear and maybe it's the fuel pump...¿it's in the fuel tank? -The engine still vibrating at low rpm...i change the filters, clean the injector, check the vacuum but still happening...any ideas? (Thanks JesZek for the advices) Greetings Edited July 25, 2014 by Tronkus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The fuel pump can be noisey if it is failing or aged, and may vary in pitch when operating the turn indicators. The fuel pump is mounted external to the fuel tank, and will be easy to service. You can replace it with any in-line pump unit, like that for a FORD with dual fuel tanks. If the engine is vibrating at idle, the timing belt may be off a notch. Many You can verify this by removing just the outer belt covers, but will have to take the middle cover out to correct it (many of us leave the belt covers off as it makes inspecting and future service so much easier, and there is little chance for the belt to skip when exposed, and if so, replacing the belt only requires 2 tools with no covers.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 As MilesFox wrote, the Fuel Pump is outside the Tank and easy to Change, look at it next to the Tank. It also could be Loose and / or having a clogged Fuel Filter issue. Worth starting by Changing the Fuel Filter... ...Thanks JesZek for the advices... Those were on Private Messages... You're Welcome!

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Honestly, if the Fuel Pump is getting bad, it could left you stranded in the Middle of Nowhere, so your only "Cheap" alternative to a Genuine, brand New Subaru Fuel Pump, was already pointed by MilesFox: Use one for a Dual Tank Ford, it also is External and could come from a Junk Yard Car.

(number). i found a Bosch alternative, but i need to compare with the original. Greetings Edited July 28, 2014 by Tronkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tronkus Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I found this alternative fuel pump, it's ok? Is noisy? Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It is important to know if your 1989 Subaru DL Wagon, has the EFi or the Carbureted Engine. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 OK, in that case, let me Quote here another post from another Thread: Just about any fuel injection pump that mounts outside the tank will work. It has to make 21 psi - the stock SPFI pump makes 50 psi dead-head. I beleive a lot of folks have had luck with Ford F150 pumps from years that mount to the frame rail and they are reasonably priced if you want a new one. Do a search and you'll find posts detailing these.GD Also, the in-line external Fuel Pump that Napa sells for the Dual Tank Ford F-150, and other EFi vehicles, has Part # 2p74028, you only need to change the 3/8" nipple in one side, with a 5/16" one.

BlackBoot Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Good to know! I had a bad fuel pump and with no junk yards having any locally, I asked the parts stores $$$$ hundreds for a little electric pump! soaked the old pump in acetone for a week and dissolved the varnish. done! lucky that time, now I have a spare just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Nice Stereo, those are short enough for the Placement, isn't it? Remember the Common ground wiring between the Speakers from factory, you must change it to independent wiring in order to let newer stereos to work as they should.

Tronkus Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Guys, finally i found the problem in my car. One piston doesn't work, the spark plugs works fine, but the engine still vibrating. i dont know how to repair that problem. Any ideas? Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 If the spark comes through the cable, the piston that does not work usually is due to a Damaged or failing spark plug, in which case I kindly suggest you to change them all, and Forget spending a lot on "Luxury" spark plugs, such as platinum, iridium, etc ... the best for Subaru EA series engines are the NGK, these come with them from Factory.Search: NGK BPR6EY11The letter "Y" have a groove that supposedly adds to the spark, however if instead of "Y" they has another letter, nevermind, while the rest of the numbering remains the same.That noise or rattle you described on private message, on these engines usually is emited by the Hydraulic Lifters, when the oil pressure is insufficient and / or there is air entering the oil through the seal, shaped as "Mickey Mouse" head; which goes between the oil pump and the engine block. A particular sound that we know here as the "Tick of Death", which however does not kill the engine, only the hydraulic lifters themselves.In any case, you can do a chemical "Flush" to the engine, using a good quality detergent, to clean its internals and tiny oil passages, and use good quality motor oil after that. For information regarding motor oils, additives and the Flush, read this writeup: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/126284-how-to-determine-which-is-the-best-motor-oil-for-your-car/ What oil do you use?Best regards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well, I suggest you to start by taking out the spark plug from the failing piston, and exchange it with the spark plug from another piston to see if the problem changes location; in that case, the Spark Plug itself would be problem...If not, it could be that you have exchanged the wires by mistake... or in the worst scenario, that said failing piston has burnt valves; in such case you'll need to do a compression test.Kind Regards.
