thecarman Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I'm swapping a used longblock into my 89 ea82t wagon. I found this sensor on my original engine, and the wires had cracked and corroded off of it. It looks like a vacuum switch between the evap canister and the intake manifold. Pics: http://www.triadfoundry.com/richards_pictures/subaru_sensor/ This car is for RallyX only, and is not licensed for the street. Can I run without this sensor, and just cap the vacuum lines? I have a race on Sunday, and doubt I'd be able to get a replacement before then. (the one from the donor car that supplied the long block had the plastic nipples broken off when I got the car) Thanks! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 poor depth of field, lighting, focus, composure, exposure, image size it's not a sensor it's a solenoid cap the lines on manifold probably for EGR round white sensor is for knock control rectrangle yellowish coolant temp for computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subiemech85 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 everyone's a critic....hehe it's better than just saying those pictures are crap, make my eyes hurt, require excessive scrolling to see the target, and take forever to download if they would have been shot at 35mm f/4.9 iso400 1/400 sec, perhaps with fill flash at proper distance and focus, and cropped to 640x480 the picture would be much better! these are approximate settings that shoulod be a good starting point for YOUR camera 564 kb is excessive! http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/FujiFilm/fuji_finepixf470.asp exif data was not much help Exif/Make FUJIFILM Exif/Model FinePix F470 Exif/Orientation 1,top-left Exif/X resolution 72.000000 Exif/Y resolution 72.000000 Exif/Resolution-unit 2,inch Exif/Software Digital Camera FinePix F470 Ver1.00 Exif/Date-time 2009:03:11 20:12:37 Exif/YCbCr positioning 2,cosited Exif/compression 1,JPEG Exif/Orientation 1,top-left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88RxTuner Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 YES, you can run without it. Cap off the manifold side of the solenoid at the manifold vacuum source. By the way, I believe that's the Purge Control Solenoid from the EVAP can... Someone will correct me if I'm mistaken??? If you plan on having it smogged in CA, NO, it will not pass without that device... experience tells a fine tale. Off road only, Forget about it!!! Cap it off, keep it till next time.. or whenever you decide to get around to it. 88RxTuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarman Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks all, and sorry about the crappy pics. It was late and I just grabbed my wife's camera, took the pics, and uploaded so I could get to bed. My browser auto-resized them for me, so I didn't realize how huge they were. I can see it now (if I watch them download, I see the giant pic for a split sec before it gets resized). Next time, I will resize before uploading. Thanks again!
