leon Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hey guys, ive been reading any info i can about my engine - ea82t mpfi - but i just need to clarify things, i have a funny feeling that the guy i bought my car from just shoved any pipe onto any knob and called it a day. which brings me to query if all my lines, in particular the vacuum ones are where they are suppose to be pic1 see the hose coming off the back of the thermostat housing, i gather it is the aav (controls the cold start idle). as you can see mine has a bit bolt in there. i am told it goes to the air intake. but my engine is intercooled so it has no place to go. can i put this in the air intake boot (the black plastic tube connecting afm to turbo) ? as you can see in this pic. the intake boot side hose connects to a T pipe. one side of it goes to the purge canister hose closest to the firewall (out of the 3 others). The T pipe also sends off a branch that runs across the engine to the distributor (or rather a metal valve that connects to it. see pic 2 another query - can you see the red electrical tape covering the metal hose below the coolant sensor to the far right of pic1? that pipe used to go to my purge solenoid valve, until i broke it. i called up subaru and they said it wasnt important. but is there a good place i should connect a rubber hose to? my old one use to travel about 4 cms left of the picture to the intake manifold ( i think its not suppose to be like that. pic2 could someone tell me what that metal valve connected to the distributor does, and there is another similar looking object but sitting across horizontally to the left in pic2. the rubber hose off that (is it the egr?) goes to the same T connection that goes to my purge solenoid (its T joint is infront of the throttle body) pic3 pic3 is of my canister just under my air pod. the 1st hose (top one) goes to the side of the intake boot (see pic1). accoring to the manual the second hose is fuel evaporation. the rx rally pdf (floating around on this website) says that you can disconnect this hose to stop the engine from running rich. but it doesnt say to plug the line up. has anyone done anything like this? pic4 pic4 is a tricky one. i took it underneath the engine. its my oil pressure gauge right next to my oil filter. the connection goes into a screw at the middle of the gauge. but its very loose. could this be the reason my check oil light on the dash always flickers on and off? pic5 pic 5 shows my throttle body (some dodgy connections) and part of the intercooler piping. there is a sensor of some sort behind the thottle body. subaru said this is my idle air control for air condition. but the manual says it is a knock sensor (for turbo only) i apologise for such a lenghty post, but i figur i might as well say all my problems at once rather than have many different threads. as i mentioned before not many mechanics know anything about this car around here, and i have only peiced bits of the manual from diagrams i have to start my car by roll starting it (thank god its a manual) it seems to work after that, but if i dont drive it for 3 days or more i have to roll start it again. is it my battery (reads 12.2 volts 140 cc amps) or could it be ignition timing (i think it might be off) or something else. after 3 days it cranks but usually only once. I just wanna thank anyone who has read this far, i know i probably wouldnt have .. just joking. I appreciate any help -> the more the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Got any bigger pics? It would really help. KELTIK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Judging by your other thread, the engine has been replaced in this car. I can't help with the vacuum lines any. But pic 4 shows the sending unit for the oil pressure gauge in the dash, won't work for one with oil light set-up in the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxsta Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi..pic 1 / there are 2 fittings in the intake manifold for these pipes to go to,,if you have a factory intake which looks to be..then they will be there pic 2/ the items is called a vacuum advance diaphram which deals with preasure from the turbo also.... pic3/ ?? not sure pic 4/ if you dont have a oil preasure gauge on the dash..fit a sender suited to a light ..not a gauge type like you have..that one is factory rx..i have the factory rx dash and dash loom if you want it.. pic5/this is the idle up for air cond...its not a knock sensor..cheers dude....
