I had a defective MAF sensor and a vac. leak but now it is running
pretty good. I think you will have to get a throttle position sensor
from a '90 to '94 Legacy with the proper plug as it is a different
value in resistance and also has an idle switch. A n/a or turbo sensor
will work. On this engine I had to switch the position of the black
and white wires on the IAC valve also but these may have been
switched previously as this car was worked on unsucessfuly for some
time. This car had had a 1.8 ECU when I received it but I have
installed a EJ22t ECU as the EJ18 does not have a knock sensor and is
really not suited for running a turbo motor as the turbo motors run
different fuel and timing maps.
