There are no turbo legacy in Binghamton NY, I've seen one other up here in my life and it had out of state plates. could leaving the stock boost solenoid connected prevent it from running properly.. even if there are no hoses attached..? either way it has to be still in some sort of limp mode...

Try to find an enthusiast who is willing to nurse her back to health. Your subie deserves not to be put out to the pasture, since it's so close to running well. Congrats on the volvo though, I almost pulled the trigger on a 940SE recently. Turbo, IRS with factory LSD, auto :(, low miles, great shap...

I suppose but this car's been through so much I spend more time fixing it than driving it, it's close to being reliable, but this MAF put me over the edge.

I'm probably going to trade the car for a Chevy 305 swapped Volvo 740 wagon.

I cant pass that up.



with only 12k on a reasonably built motor.

Crazy. Saw that car on CL for a long long time.

I had been trying to track down information on it for well... Forever. things like this: http...

I'm going to have to get one from a forum member there are no Tlegs in NY junk yards, only tons of outbacks

BUmp update, today I finally got a code for the MAF code 23 and 49

abnormal voltage and wrong MAF code!

WOOOHHOoo you guys know what MAF's would be interchangeable with mine? I have a local PnP with tons of subarus

Was this car from the Northwest? And does it have a white gauge cluster? it did have a white gauge cluster, but it was faulty and now has working cluster from a 94 hadn't left Seattle until last year I bought it from the owner here in NY. Yes it is the red one that showed up on Seattle CL for like....

yes although there's no intercooler

I suppose I'll try re-wiring it again.

if you want? it's just a normal hood with a cheap ebay scoop riveted on

I merged your two topics since they are related. Have you tried clearing the ECU memory with both the green & black connectors? If not, I'd try that. However, I'm not sure a code 51 is causing your problem. Instructions for clearing the ECU using the two connectors is on my site. http://www.sur...

Alright I removed the solenoid and I can blow air through it! through the top nipple which I shouldn't be able to do so maybe that settles it, the solenoid has stuck partially open and is not holding my waste gate closed.

I don't think you have an issue with boost leak. Sounds like your Boost Control Solenoid (passenger side strut tower) is not working properly. They tend to stick sometimes and not allow full boost, mine did and would only allow 5psi-ish on my old turbo wagon. Can you try and get ahold of a manual b...

Right. Pulling power will reset those codes. Give it a shot, and report back. connected the battery and drove it around the block, doesn't seem to be boggy anymore... but still 5psi. I dont have an intercooler so it's not like there's anywhere for boost to leak from. I unbolted and cleaned the knoc...

I had it disconnected for about four hours today... is that not long enough to reset the computer? If not it seems to hold codes for a very long time, even without power.

Also, I ran D Check mode on the ECU with the green connectors and it only showed code 51, neutral inhibitor blah blah no knock sensor or VSS code.... if the code doesn't show in D check mode there's no way I imagine it can exist.

Only thing that's not stock is the 3" TB exhaust.

The other day I was driving my 1991 legacy SS down the road, unknown to me the BPV hose going back into the intake had come off. knock sensor code 22 and VSS code 33 appear, I drive the car home in limp mode, cant seems to build any boost stuck at 5psi, I have a boost gauge. I replace the knock sens...

would a bad BPV cause it to not boost over 5psi? what led up to this ordeal was my BPV hose that goes into the intake coming off and letting un-metered air in... could that potentially kill one? I have an extra, but I just snapped my nipple off the intake for it while un-doing the hose :C JB weld it...
