New fuel pump fixed it.

I couldn't find the connector but I was looking on the driver's side. If it causes problems again I'll a) check out the connector.

Perfect, knowing that it's bolted from the underside is exactly what I needed.

I think I'll try my luck at a $10-20 signal amplifier first since that's easy and at present I get FM, just very poorly.

Fuel pressure should be around 36 psig if I recall correctly. There is connector under the rear passenger seat area that is notorious for shorting out and causing issues. I'd recommend checking that and that the pump is getting the proper voltage. What I did is pull the pins, cut the wire, and used...

How do I remove the antenna trim on a base model wagon/sedan with the manual antenna in the A-pillar?

Someone broke the antenna off prior to my ownership and I need to remove the trim in order to figure out how I'm going to repair/replace it.

The car sat for a week and won't start regardless of whether temp or O2 are plugged in What's fuel pressure supposed to be on these? I removed the fuel line coming from the filter and fuel just kinda dribbled out while it was cranking which doesn't seem right for an EFI system. I sprayed it with sta...

How old is the coolant temp sensor? If you unplug the coolant temp sensor and try to drive does the problem still exist? Same question if you unplug the O2 sensor and try to drive? I'll try that after work or this weekend, whenever I get around to looking at the car next. Coolant temp sensor is 6-1...

The problem only shows up when the car is warm so I don't suspect fuel delivery or ignition issues since those should show up regardless of temperature. The fact that it has slight trouble restarting tells me it's not the oxygen sensor. Is there any sensor I can unplug that will cause the car to run...

Died again and wouldn't restart today so that wasn't it.

I'm not sure what else it could be. TPS isn't in the "critical path" so that shouldn't cause a no-start condition.

Maybe crank sensor?

The fuel rails use the same rubber hoses to jump from the engine to the body through at least '99 so fuel supply is a non-issue. The injectors are all high impedance so even if the connector is different (is it?) that's a simple pigtail swap. A 90-94 throttle body will bolt to a 95-99 intake. All th...

Last night I swapped the MAF for one that was working fine when pulled from a car 2yr ago. We'll see how it does today. The old one had 3x as much black stuff (i.e. brake and tire dust that passed the filter over the last 200k) as the "new" one. We'll see how it does...

What about the tps. Does it take off again if you give it gas? If you gas it when it's trying to stall it will stay running but you gotta stay on the gas enough to keep it running. If you take your foot off it will try and stall. This isn't happening 100% of the time. The behavior is intermittent. ...

Normally I'd suspect IAC but 3000rpm is some pretty good throttle input. Can't be lack of fuel or weak since it runs great wide open when those systems are under the most stress. It only does this when you lift off the throttle while driving. It hot and cold idles just fine. It only dies when you ta...

In the 93 MY there is a different part number used from Sept of 92 production dates forward. However, I think the manifold should be compatible/interchangeable for all 90-94 non-turbo engines. The turbo manifold is obviously different. Those cars are long gone around here. Can I not use a '95-99 ma...

What year range?

I replaced the pump, runs great now. The OEM sending unit is impressively high quality.

And the answer is.... 2.150" (almost certainly from a '97 Legacy Outback not that it matters)

Sorry. I'll dig some older arms out of the pile this weekend. I think you'd be fine to just grind them down to match the crossmember. I'd be more concerned about getting it straight/flat than getting the dimension exact.

2.410"

Fair warning, I have a pretty good stash of LCAs and there's one set out of 3 that are from an '04 Forester. If that number seems way off let me know and I'll measure a different one.

Which bushing? The little front one that's in the LCA and gets bolted into the crossmember? I'll measure a stock arm from my pile when I get home tonight.

You're talking about under the column where all the diagnostic connectors are right?

So, to resurrect this thread yet again. My '93 FWD wagon was giving me hard starts after sitting and now won't start. Runs great on starting fluid. I unplugged the hose going into the filter and nothing came out when cranking so I'm pretty sure it's either fuel or electrical leading to the pump. Roc...

Replace the hose going into the coolant bottle. Check for hydrocarbons in the coolant if that doesn't work.

Is that a 15" rim?

Also, I suspect that the bearing replacement didn't solve his problem and that the wear is actually in the splines of the stub shaft.

Bearing tolerances are fine enough that you should be able to mark the preload adjusters, swap bearings and return the preload adjusters to their original point.

While we're on the subject.... Will phase 2 4EAT differential ring and pinions fit phase 1 4EATs?
