Tune up help

[87sooby]

I just replaced the cap rotor plugs and wires for my 87 GL wagon. But now it runs like it might be misfiring. Does anyone have a firing order diagram for this engine (1.8 carburrated)?

Well... First of All:

Welcome!

 

I think this is the Correct Firin´ Order on a EA82 Engine, that is the One in your 1.8 L Carbureted 1987 Subie:

 

Where 1 & 3 are Left side (Driver´s) and 2 & 4 are Right Side (Passenger´s)

 

 

To Keep Runnin´ Your Subie, Check that and the Good Condition of the Carb... but if it was good before changin´ the Spark Plugs, maybe you aren´t usin´ the Correct Ones.

 

Remember: Spark Plugs for Subies, Shall have the letter "R" in them, that means that the Spark Plug got Resistor.

 

I Use NGK BPR6... ( And others Sometimes ) but those are Cheap and Very Very Good.

 

 

Well... Good Luck!

Thanks for the help. It worked and I am back on the road. I am wondering what i should gap the plugs to? I gapped them to .040. is that too little?

Well, I´m soo happy

cos your Subie is Runnin´ Again.

About the Gap, the Basics are:

Using a More Powerfull Coil... (The Stock gives around 27,000 Volts Out, I Use an Accel SuperStock, that Gives 45,000 Volts Out) ...you can open wide a li´l bit more the Gap Settings, along of Using a more Advanced Timin´ without problems, that makes your subie a li´l more Faster and the engine will not emit noises with regular Gas. I use my EA82 at 25º timing and only with Regular Gas...

Good Luck!

I run my plugs at .055", and finally got the mileage up to 24 MPG. I have not heard of anyone running 25 degrees of timing before, what mileage do you get?
