Found problem with the engine, broken piston. I could say a few choice words but it won't help. Need to find another engine.

Haven't had a chance to pull the pan yet. Had my granddaughter's first birthday and didn't get home till late. I'll pull it off tonight. Thanks Josh

Josh, I know that there is an access hole to get to the bolts but the problem is that the engine won't turn over so that I can get to the bolts. I have pulled the engine with the torque converter attached to the flex plate. When turning the engine over is has a hard clunk in both directions. Even wi...

forgot to mention that it is a 2.5

My son has a 96 when his wife was driving she drove into the driveway and when she came back out to start it it wouldn't turn over. She says running fine when she pulled in. The engine will only turn a few degrees each way before hitting something solid. Now i have removed the timing belt still the ...

It could be wiring seeing that the engine compartment of a turbo gets hot. This is 16 years old and the wiring is brittle . It has been spliced but only back to the shielded cable. Can the shielded cable be take off farther back with out hurting it and the wire splice farther back?

Yes I have cleared the codes many times.

cel code 22 knock sensor on 94 turbo 5speed. Have replaced the knock sensor with used ones and then finally with a new one. Have put in a ecu from a 92 turbo 5 speed and still have the cel with a 22.

Found out that every time that you turn off the key it restarts the self tests. If I run the car a few miles on the freeway and don't shut it off and test it all the tests are finished running and no codes. If I shut it off and retest then the test monitors are blinking again. There is no update to ...

have a 96 legacy gt (2.5) that after replacing head gaskets reset codes. After driving over 200 miles there is no code but there are 4 test monitors that are still running. To pass emissions here you can only have 2 that are still running. I talked with a mechanic friend and he told me that 96's hav...

After taking the engine out for the third was looking at everything very close. Could not see anything that was wrong that would make it slip. Checking to see if anything wrong with transmission. I had a friend come over to see if he could see anything. With engine in gear we turned the transmission...

Put in the new clutch and it slips also. I have a new disc I think I am going to put in the old pressure plate and try that. I can't figure what is wrong with this clutch. Two new ones and both slipping. It kills the engine if I let the clutch out in gear with revving the engine a little. But when I...

i believe it was an excedy clutch. I am getting a new one Saturday.

I do not believe there is a step on our flywheels. I don't believe there is a step on the flywheel either. I am sure that I would have noticed that before resurfacing. The person my friend was talking to probably thinking of an older subaru. When you push in the clutch does it disengage/engage high ...

I had the engine out and replaced the clutch on my 94 turbo. I had the flywheel resurfaced before putting back in. After getting back together the clutch is slipping. It releases fine but slips real bad. The hydraulic clutch is working fine. The pressure plate looked tight against the disk. I pulled...

Hey Josh, Put new plugs and wires on runs like a champ now. The plugs were definetly bad electrode was worn and had a gap of about .070. Had it emissioned tested and it passed no problem. Now debating wheather to fix the dents and paint it or not. I'm not into it a lot so I could spend the extra mon...

I just bought a maroon 92 turbo 5 speed to go along with my maroon 94 turbo 5 speed. I paid 500 bucks for the car but i does have a lot of miles (232,000) and has a few dents bu no rust out. The owner thought that it needed a new water pump and while you where doing a new timing belt. It turned out ...

Found out what was wrong with the car. I tried everything that I could think of. I went and asked a friend who owns a shop. I told him that it would idle but when step on it would drop to 600 and stay there. He then asked me if it had no power on the road and answered that it didn't. He then told me...

There are no codes no CEL on. I have replaced the fuel pressure regulator the TPS, MAF, TCU. These were from a running vehicle. Checked fuel pressure and it is at 37 psi. when at high rpm's. I have also replaced spark plugs. I have also dropped the exhaust in case of a plugged cat. None of these thi...

93 legacy na auto awd lsi. With car in park you give it quarter throttle and the engine will rev up. If you give it full throttle the engine will not rev up. It will stay at about 700-800 rpm and never go up. This also happens in drive so the car does not go. It doesn't even have to be wide open for...

I understand that some coolant going into the overflow tank is normal, but not until it is overflowing out of it. Also after this happens the engine then overheats and the heater starts blowing cold. The radiator is cold when this happens. I really don't want to do head gaskets especially if that is...

My son's 93 na has the same symptoms. I have replaced water pump thermostat (subaru) and radiator cap. Without thermostat water circulate through radiator with thermostat coolant is not flowing and coolant is being pushed into the overflow tank. I am suspecting head gasket but shouldn't it still cir...
