anybody ever gotten a code 106 from a 2.5>2.2 swap


Recommended Posts

I wonder why subaru doesn't offer the 2.2L engine as a cheaper option to the 2.5L on all new cars? It would save them millions on warranty repairs alone.

the problem motor only last from 96-99 then they fixed the issue, sort of, the phase 2 had a different but similar problem

any body know when that was fixed, i dont know

i know the newer sti motor thats a 2.5 does not have the issue

Yes, but that would be admitting to a mistake.

 

For example, let's say you're Coca-Cola, and you introduce a new formulation for Coke, but many people don't like it.

Would you go back to making the old stuff...?

 

Uhh, never mind. :rolleyes:

Sorry, guys I'd like to get back on topic.

 

Shame on me, I know

but

I promised.

 

I checked the orig. intake manifold for

the "T" that was mentioned.

 

Sure enough just as OB99W said it

connected to the FPR

(Fuel Pres. Regulator)

 

So I swapped the lines (the "T" fitting is NOT

on the line from the 95 EJ22 that I used).

 

The Map/baro sensor line connected,

used my scanner to erase the code,

started her up,

and

 

No Codes!!

 

I'll just take a minute to thank everyone involved!

Maybe we should mention this to other

EJ22 swappers.

Here is the best I could do when mounted

So skip, you didn't notice any running differences with it unplugged like that? If it's an automatic, did it shift fine disconnected?

was that a minute? you already did!
Second, a thanks to Gary for mentioning the filter.

for real, no problem, that's great it was a simple fix.

It seem to run just fine untill the inspection ran out

about 9 mo. ago.

(see below)

I'm sorry, Gary.

This question is very hard to answer

and does not really belong in this topic as

the tranny has a bad drive gear for VSS#2.

It is therefore in a "limp mode".

 

No VSS => CEL after so many drive cycles.

 

Readiness monitors are still not set,

so no

sticker for me in Pee Aye.

 

Again off topic, I am working on a

phool the pooter phix

and will report in it's own post.

 

Thanks once again for all the help.

 

I hope this entire debacle helps

Jules and some one else with

the MAP/Baro sensor ordeal.
