After accident, engine will start, but not idle

Ok this is sort of a x-post from my other thread, but I thought that I might get some response here. I did search and found alot about erratic idle, but I am having a hard time with this one. The accident to my 93' Legacy Sport really only caused damage to the fenders, bumper and radiator. I replace...

Holy crap they are right...

Ben, Your ideal job is a Top Gun Pilot.


:shock:


That has been my dream job since I was about 4yrs old!

Ok I refilled the cooling system w/o issue. Then I ran into a couple of problems.... The battery will not hold a charge above 62% and then drains off fairly quickly. If I set the charger on "Car Start" then go and turn the key the car does start up, however it will not idle. I have to keep...

Woot! The radiator came in...and it is perfect! I got it installed last night (kind of a b*tch!) and plan to fill and turn the engine over for the first time in three weeks tonight! :) I also have the fenders on order and a new windsheild (the old one has had a long crack in it for awhile). New brak...

Ok I walked into my local Kragen and they ordered it w/o any issues for me!

The only catch is that it will take 8-days. I suppose that gives me some time to source the body panels and front end. :)

Really? Kragen quoted me the $250.00 rad specific to the car. Said they even had it at their depot in town and I could have it the same day. Is this one also 2-row? I called another shop A-1 Rad and they quoted me $269.00 (same rad..they mark it up and want to install it as well - not free either) A...

Ok so clearly I am retarded and the thread title should be changed from GT to SS. :oops:

Oh and Laurel....*chanting* I am not worthy-I am not worthy!

:lol:

Thanks for the link, that will save me some dough and Kragen should price-match!

ohhhhhhh! :oops: Nono! It is a Sedan. My parents purchased it brand new from the Mac Heik (spell?) dealership in Houston. Supposedly there was only one other available in Texas at the time and that one was in Austin. I'm having a difficult time locating a used rad for the vehicle and I'd rather not ...

Actually the bumper looks like it did its job very well, but you're probably right about dusting off the ol mallet. The hood release and bracket definetly took a beating! I am sad that the group buy on FG hoods didn't work out. Would have loved to get one of those for the car. :cry: Btw, I am origin...

E36 M3 was one of my choices for a fun second car. However so was the porsche 944 turbo in my sig. Guess which one I chose? :wink: They both have great handling and make similiar power when stock. The bimmer probably has better aftermarket/mainstream support, however I would say that the 944 turbo h...

Pardon my ignorance... TW? Is there an faq with explanation for a noob like me? Also what do you mean by pre-facelift? Turbo's from 91-92? I checked the sticker inside the driver door and it says it was mfg in Japan and the date is 09/02 Also I wasn't aware that the NA parts were backwards compatibl...

Heh, well I was just thinking that if there were any styling improvements to be made that this would be a good time for that! It's funny that so many other asian cars have huge aftermarket support, but this car does not. I understand the word rice, but I also know that there are always truly classy ...

Project: GT Overhaul!

Well it is sad that this is my first post on the legacycentral boards but things can only improve from here on out! :) I drove this 93' Subaru GT through HS, my parents then kept it for a few years; now I've gotten married and have a baby so they dropped it off for our use. Unfortunately, only four ...
