I just replaced my Coolant Temp Sensor. (Tip from Josh). No doubt a good investment. (Engine was sputtering before and after shifting). Problem still existed; until I swapped the ALTERNATOR. Turns out a "spike" in the voltage regulator was the culprit. So far so good. This Legacy was the b...

Just replaced my CTS. Probobly a good investment, but my "sputter" problem still existed; until I breplaced the alternator. Turns out a "spike" in the voltage reg. caused a sputter before and after shifting.

My '90 is near mint condition. I just bought it for 300 bucks from a toyt little number who didn't want to fix the exhaust and rear struts ( and directionals ). 250 bucks later ( 550 total, I got a mint Legacy with no directionals. Oh yeah, 66,000 miles. ( That's like my fa'sha's Nissan with 1,000 m...

Hit that "Danielsternlightingcompany" link a couple replys up. Very helpful diagram for wiring. helped me out.

My directionals don't work at all. I just got an opinion to check (or replace) the Hazard flasher switch wich sounds logical because if it's "on" all the time it could disrupt the directional system.
I fix digital copiers and printers for a living; and damn if this car's no different.

Uh-Oooooohhh. I just checked my heater and got that over 40 Estrogen smell.

I just recieved an opinion on checking the Hazard flasher switch. Thayt sounds logical because if it's always "on" or "off" it will disrupt the directional system. I'll get a switch from my neighbor the junk collector. I fix Digital Copiers and Printers for a living; and Damn if ...

Very useful diagrams, but if my directional problem is in the wiring? or the Leverswitch that diagram may not be too helpful.

I tapped "strobes" into the side markers (Only $12.00 each at parts store.) 1 power wire, 1 ground. It doesn't get any easier. I'm gettin ready to cobb some directionals 'couse none of mine work. I've tried everything. I don't think I'm gonna look for shorts inside the dash. (I'm cheap). I...

I just cut some (4) 2"x3" pieces of an old tire and slipped them inside the housing in the rear deck (while jacked up). No more bumping at least. Then again, I'm thrifty (cheap)

Just kiddin'. Josh's site helped me religiously with ECU codes.
Thanx Josh.

Just unplug the damn connector so it'll stop throwin' codes at you (and the dude in the rearview mirror).

Go to K-mart

Thanx for the help. I just realized that my Legacy isn't "Intercooled" (as Topic), but thanks for for reminding about the washer.

I'm a NEWBIE-RU. Just got a '90 Legacy (Best runnin' car ever).
None of the directionals work. Tried fuses, flasher, bulbs... What else ??

Where's the Coolant Temp Sensor ?
I just bought a legacy for $300. (so far the best running car ever).
according to Legacy777 the coolant temp sensor should solve my problem(s). When it gets hot, after about 10 mins engine sputters before and after shifting.
