Welcome to the BBS!

Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for replying back as to what the problem was

Sorry for the delayed response. Any chance you could take a video of the jerking occurring or have someone ride along with you take a video? The diode is wrapped up in the wiring loom so it may be kind of difficult to find. You should be able to use a multi-meter with the function to check a diode t...

I'm not sure what to say. Did you ever use the AC previously and not have this issue? If so when was the last time?

You're welcome.

It definitely sounds like you overpressured the system. What was the suction pressure that you saw? The proper way to fix this is to have the system evacuated, recapture the existing R12, and then refill the system with the proper amount of R12 refrigerant. There will be a label on the radiator core...

Welcome to the BBS officially. I'd suggest taking a look at my threads regarding my AWIC setup. The second thread is about the custom radiator I had built. The only thing I would do differently is add a bleed screw/fitting on the top of the radiator to help get the air out of the system during initi...

I still recommend you get a set of gauges and look at the pressures. If the differential pressure across the compressor (due to low refrigerant) is too high the compressor could be drawing excessive power from the engine and causing the "jerking" you're experiencing.

Welcome to the BBS. I moved your post to the engine forum. What AC system do you have, Zexel or Calsonic? Even if your AC is still blowing cold it's possible you could be low on refrigerant and as the compressor rpm's increase the suction pressure lowers quite a bit putting more load on the engine, ...

Welcome to the BBS. This forum isn't too active any more. I'd suggest checking out the first gen Legacy facebook groups as they are more active and you may have a better chance finding an injector. Here are three to check out. https://www.facebook.com/share/6Z1J7Cr8vtnsieLK/ https://www.facebook.com...

Yeah....and this is where you need a tuner that knows the ECU and the software and the little intricacies of it. Or at least that's what I've discovered after three tuners and four major tuning sessions. The cold start still sucks and the tune could use some refinement, but for that I essentially ne...

Tach sweep was a must with the outputs I could use on the Haltech... how many else Gen 1s have it :lol: I have it and you have it....not sure who else does :lol: I will say the ECU software looks a lot better than the older Link software and seems to adjust the maps automatically better. However, I...

Very nice dude!

I see you have the tach sweep as well

Glad to hear that it went to another enthusiast!

It is impressive the Legacy still holds this record!

It is a shame it's going to be retired after 2025....but I understand why.

I honestly don't know....but it may be more prevalent with wagons vs. sedans.

Nice update!

It's always nice to see work that's paying attention to the details

Locking this thread to help keep all conversations in one spot.

Andrew,

Good to hear from you!

Yeah, a lot has changed and I'm honored to be a part of this community!

Welcome!

Yeah the alternator replacement is pretty easy in these cars!

Very nice numbers and good data point on the various mods! With AWIC setups you shouldn't see that much of a change in air temperatures if your water temperatures aren't increasing because water can absorb more heat. This is one of the benefits of the AWIC setups. However, if you do get some air tem...

If you check the code, clear the code, and then check the code again is the code that comes up code 45? If so, I would suggest checking the wiring on the MAP sensor and pressure exchange solenoid from the ECU plug to the sensor plugs and verify everything is ok. If all that checks out ok check the s...

Can you elaborate on the issue some more? Is the issue the gear selector or that the transmission is not engaging those gears unless you put the gear selector in one of the positions 1, 2, or 3?

Welcome to the BBS and glad you mostly got the idle addressed.

If you email/call Underground they should be able to get you the stickers. They just pulled them from their website.
