So i have this weird issue that really isn't a problem,just really bothers me as i cant make any logic of it. Probably once every 2 or 3 months i will go out to start my car and just before it starts i let off on the key a bit too soon and it does the old 2 or 3 chugging fires and stops.It doesn't s...

shit that figures! Im either going to be in FLA. or Connecticut then.I really need to join the site though!

Yeah haynes sucks.And i second the mention of using clamps or vise grips to keep the belt in position,works nice.

TD05 - 06 is in store with the new manifold and ported heads and cams this winter hopefully,dont worry guys lol.

To answer you about the alignment.It is totally normal for the sprocket to spring around once the belt is off.I wont go into detail as the forum already contains enough of the info. read here. http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44436&hilit=timing+belt http://www.main.experience...

Are all your grounds and connections good by multimeter or by eye? You may just put in another ecu and have the same result,these issues are not typically ecu problems.The ecu is just a big calculator under the dash.

yup do it! I am going to be doing this as well this winter.

LOL.

Yeah sounds like your tires are a different size.

Is the overflow tank hooked up? or is the hose just routed under the car?

^ this.

Rumor has that Audi's have more than their share of issues

I believe the word "rumor" should be reserved for that which is not completely obvious and routinely proven hundreds of times.

damn some of those look familiar!!!,wasnt invited

Blehhhh, I've seen a few people say they like that car, I think it's one of the ugliest Legacys I've seen, I'd almost be less embarrased to drive the peeling flat black wagon with a piece of wood glued on as the rear window I found in a junkyard. Finding myself having to agree.Its the "subaciv...

What did the cams cost?,really leaning towards this option.

All i can say is that if you want another chance down the road,let her be.Its the best thing you can do, if you make yourself appear as a freak about it and let yourself get out of control you will regret it later when you realize things may have worked if you didnt.

The one gripe i have with LW flywheels is the fact that they are light :D Im really not able to accept that it is really better to have your engine be able to "rev quicker" at the expense of removing rotational weight.It seems to me that for a daily driver it would be far better to keep a ...

Flux-core can penetrate just as well as gas-shielded, if done properly, and is faster and cheaper. The process itself isnt the problem,yes there is good flux core equipment out there and it serves a purpose.Problem is at least 90% of the time when you see a home hobbyist pumping out flux welds it m...

Why sell it cuz of that?? your better off with it not working anyway.

external fishplates instead of that internal one. more weld spread out over a wider area.

Exactly,however IMO the omission of that is more than a minor overlook.

internet armchair engineers :roll: what have you built and what do you know about flux core in structural steel? I know from being a professional fabricator :wink: Not to mention the fact that i used to make custom suspension components for s30's (solo endeavor) that sold well enough to pay my bill...

If it is in fact the pump,just replace it with a walbro and be done with it.they arent that expensive,got mine for like $105 new when i bought it.

those look like OBD2 codes,not what you want to go by for your car.

If I was going to try this my first impulse would be to get all the brake lines, master cylinder and proportioning valve from a non-ABS car.

The above procedure is likely faster, easier and cheaper.

X2. Skid's idea is fine and has been done a bunch of times.

Id say he is clearly quite young?
