Turbo engine won't run!
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2004 4:33 am
Ok this is the other rally Legacy.
The turbo engine lost oil on the Rim of the world rally and seized up.
A local Subaru guy put in a used engine from Japan(Ok I know they are all from Japan,but this is a USA model) he had to change the intake etc from the old engine as they were not the same.
Anyway all went well and the car was driven on the road for about a week.The car was given a test off road at rally speeds and after about 30mins started to lose power and died.It would turn over and start but under load would not pull.It seemed to be better when cold.
The was towed back to the Subaru guy and another cam sesor was replaced.The engine seems to run better and did some more road miles.
On the next rally all seemed well until the same problem appeared again and the engine died mid stage.We went back after the rally changed the cam sensor but no result.
This is what was been changed,Crank/cam sensor,cold start valve,ECU,fuel pump,injectors,spark plugs/leads and wiring checked.One thing we did find is the earth cable from the battery to the engine was not conected.Checked the code light tell us everything is faulty! and also when removing the injectors there did not seem to be much fuel pressure.
Any clues? as Rob will soon burn the car!
1991 2.2 Turbo with what appears to be a 2.2 turbo with 2.5 heads?
Cheers
