Hey man,
I really appreciate the offer. However, I think replacing the crankshaft is far beyond my mechanical capabilities. It is a shame, I liked this car a lot. It was the only car I ever owned where all of the electrical components in the interior actually worked. Also, the cargo space is ...

94 Subaru Legacy L AWD Wagon Automatic.
Engine is shot (read my thread in Engine section for more info). I need to get rid of this car. Im in Ithaca, NY. If anyone is interested, please shoot me an e-mail at;
phillips.brian@gmail.com.
You must take the entire car as I cannot have a stripped down ...

UPDATE:

Crank gear is stripped. Too much play in the crankshaft. Mechanics suggest engine replacement. I declined. G'bye Legacy, hello debt.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to respond to my crisis.

sorry, the guy who towed me said EGR, not EGU.

I just changed the coolant temp sensor, checked and cleaned all the grounds I could find. Also, disconnected battery for 45 - 1hr. No luck.

In fact, my 94 is getting much worse. I had to have a neighbor pull me back to my house.

GOOD NEWS:once the car is started the rough idle problem is ...

thanks a bunch.

Yeah, I think I'm definitely going to replace it. I have to wait til Tuesday because of the Holiday.

The loss of power is very severe from a dead stop. If I slow down it seems to come back (so I guess low rpms). Like I said, It's getting worse.
I think there is something to this: from a dead stop ...

Hey Manarius,

I have not done that. How do you re-set and relearn the ECU?
Like I said before, I cleared the codes by mistake when I disconnected the neg cable while installing the new coil.
The Haynes manual (which calls it the ECM - same thing, right?) does not talk specifically about "re-set ...

oh, it's the oil pressure sending unit. hah, that would explain the, uh, oil!

Hey,

I got a MAF from a junkyard. They said that it worked on the car they pulled it from. It was only 36$. I took off the Autozone re-manuf and intsalled this one. No change. Regardless of what I do (which primarily has been pull of one MAF and install another; repeat) the problem is getting worse ...

Hey thanks again for responding guys.

So, I realize that I have probably erased the codes when I changed the coil. I removed the negative battery cable.

It's unfortunate now that I don't get the CELs anymore. Maybe I'll get lucky and one will appear.

I just got the car back from the mechanics ...

I understand about the counting - longer sustained flash for tens, short flash for ones.
I'm saying that mine just blinks - the same short blink - forever. I counted 75 single, equally as long blinks. No difference, no change in length of blinks. I stopped at 75 because it seemingly could have gone ...

Hi Josh,

Thanks for your reply. Also, thanks for the link.

So, I read the info on your site regarding ecu codes. I went out to my car, hooked up the two black connectors and turned the key. My CEL flashed continuosly and evenly for a while. They were quick flashes. I just turned the key back and ...

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to Subarus and to this board. In June of this year I bought a 94 Subaru Legacy wagon, 2.2 auto. It ran beautifully during the summer. Then, one cold, rainy morning a couple of weeks ago it took two tries to start. Not that big of a deal,or so I thought. It then began to idle ...
