I get 21-23 around town and 25-29 on the highway depending on speed/style of driving in my 93 N/A 5MT wagon (I can clear 30 if I coast and go 65). It used to be higher before I put on the WRX wheels and tires. Since then my speedo has been accurate (used to be 10% over), and my MPG has dropped accor...

My Dad is having this exact problem (rapid clicks from glovebox) as well. If he puts on MaxAC the clicking is reduced considerably. More clicking occurs under load, while accelerating. Checking under the hood revealed it to be a loud click as the AC clutch engages/disengages repeatedly in rapid succ...

Another victory for the coolant temp sensor. Solved my rough idle at startup just fine. ECU is reset and not getting any more codes just yet. Thanks. I wonder, could i have saved the $40 that Autozone charged me by simply cleaning the old one? I didn't think of that until after I had it out and real...

No overheating (since recent new water pump). No coolant disappearing. No overpressure or blown radiator cap. No water in oil. No oil in coolant. Just hard to start, then rough idle for up to 1 min post-ignition. During the 1 min, there is smoke from the tailpipe, but I would not characterize as &qu...

Autozone reader can check our codes right? The port below the dash is the same as our 00 Honda Odyssey anyway. My CEL is clicking on/off 3-4 times right after startup. Also, startup is getting more difficult and idling rougher right after startup (as smoke blows out tailpipe). Usually after parked f...

Update I checked all fluid levels and then started the car today. There was a clacking/grinding sound that was constant at first, but decreased over the span of 30 sec. until it intermittent and then gone altogether. No more smoke. The engine appears to be running smooth now (through entire RPM rang...

I just read all the way through the thread. I laughed, I cried. This stuff is as good as any novel. Ok, maybe its cuz my bearings are buzzing so loud I can't hear my stereo. I'll have to embark on a similar project, likely with someone else doing the work as I have no tools or aptitude. Somehow, I g...

Yeah, I'd read that. I guess you had some summary comments as to effort invested vs. results returned, and it wasn't looking good, but the thread didn't have much follow up in the weeks/months following, in terms of how you ended up liking the power/sound change... but I have found some of this else...

Will this work? Is this worth the effort? (1993 5mt na L wagon) I've tried reading similar posts, but my ignorance is getting in the way of my understanding... if you know what I mean. Please indulge the repeat. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7989291137&ssPageN...

Ok, last night I refilled what must have been 5-10 fl. ounces of Mercon brand ATF. I sure screwed up this time. I have yet to start the car to see what happens (the vagaries of going to work at 6 and getting home at 11pm). Even if it spins up beautifully, the question arises: How much damage did I d...

The smoke was from just above the grille... in the front of the car, middle of the hood. Sorry. I did not have a chance to raise the hood as I was late for work. I'll check it out tonight though. Think the PS pump is bad and dropping ATF? I guess the continual squeak could be explained by the belt t...

Smoke & loss of power steering after popped clutch stall
Ok, This morning I stalled out my (stick shift '93) wagon by getting out when it was in gear... i have the excuse that it was an "emergency". Well, upon restart, I got smoke under the hood and appeared to have a loss of power steering. I parked it and took another car today. I am wondering...

OK, I think I have decided to resell/get rid of the turbo pump and get a regular non-turbo pump. Here is a link to the one I'm gonna get if its right. Anyone care to comment on the correctness of this pump (pic and URL to follow). I'm waiting on the part number. (1993 Leg Wagon, NA) http://cgi.ebay....
