hripley88 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My boy friend has a 95 legacy and has been trying to restore it, he has been running into all kinds of issues as the car was never taken care of, he has had leaks that he has fixed. The radiator was just replaced and the head gaskets have been replaced, he also fixed a gas leak and few others things I am not so sure about. With all the work he has done the car still is not running at its best, and tends to run hot and when starting up the car it starts loud and then dies down and then when drives its sound loud to me and he knows there is a still something wrong. He was told it could be his lifters, so replaced them and still nothing has changed, he now thinks it may be his oil pump and has purchased a new one to replace it in hope this will be the last thing. Just would like some more input as to what someone who really knows about these cars thinks what they could be.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Can you describe how it "sounds loud?" Clicking, ticking, banging, thumping? Does it sound like it's "inside" the engine or is it the exhaust? Maybe post an audio recording so we can hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hripley88 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 he does have a exhaust, however the sound is unfamiliar to me, as I am still learning all this my self, but there some ticking noises that I have noticed since he got the car, and the way it starts up and then dies down like it almost would shut off when he takes his foot off the pedal. I will have him record it and we will attach it on here tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
