Recently broke a wire off of my pigtail on my 1994 Legacy, and I have it loosely soldered in but I doubt it will hold very long. Dealer doesn't have a pigtail, nor do any of the parts stores in my town. Just looking for a pigtail so I can install it and not be scared that my solder will fall out aft...

Thanks Josh, you're always such a big help.

I did not want to jack Baddog's thread so I made this one. Just today when I got out of work, I noticed my auto seatbelts came up really slowly. I didn't think anything of it, but as I was driving home, the passenger's side auto seatbelt kept clicking, it kept like hitting the limit of going up, thi...

That blue port is to attach a monitor. You'll need an older laptop with the printer port like on the left there, there's no easy way around it. These should be between free and cheap at this point, and will likely have dead batteries, so a power inverter and power cord will likely be required; that...

Hey Vrg, I've been reading up on this and I'd really like to try it out, but the problem is that my laptop doesn't have either of the connectors to hook it up to. My laptop has only the blue printer port shown here: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/Jessekrs123/Printer_Ports.jpg I was just won...

This.

If this was in the Northeast, I would pick it up without a doubt.

I use Mobil Delvac Super 15w40.

No more cold start lifter tick.

Tooling around the other day with my car to get it started (unplug coolant temp sensor, put in resistor) one of the wires that go into the plug snapped. :x It broke off pretty close to the connector, and I managed to successfully solder it back into place for now, but it is certainly not a strong fi...

Hey guys, figured I'd post this here with my newly changed oil. I've had a cold start lifter tick for the longest time, and it really was beginning to make me angry. Because I really don't like to abuse my cars, I'd sit and idle the car @ 1,500 rpms until my HLAs finally filled up. This would take a...

Before you buy a new injector, check for power and ground through the injector's connector. The only reason an OBDI Subaru would trip a code would be the following: - The sensor is not getting power. - The sensor is not properly grounded. - The sensor is disconnected. - The sensor is shot to the poi...

Sounds like a similar issue I had.

My tach would go crazy sometimes, and my car would randomly shut off.

It turned out to be the ECU ground in my engine bay was loose. Found a new home for it, snugged it up with a bolt and I have not had the problem since.

Impressive. I'm sure it still runs like new as well.

No, just one located right in the cat.

If you're going to replace it go to a local parts store and get the 7/8 o2 socket. It has a little notch for the wire which makes it 10x easier to remove.

Is the car still cold when this happens?

All SOHC Subarus manufactured before the year 1997 were non-interference. This would include Pre-1997 SOHC EJ22s. All DOHC engines are interference. In 1997, Subaru redesigned the EJ22, making it interference among other things. Anyone who has dabbled in older EFI Subarus knows this, as should these...

My car has a carburator because of i want to install s/c. i have a some different ideas about this issue. Many people said s/c has not big pressure and s/c gives you 10-20 hp its enough for me.Thank you for all answers i must think twice i am confused. i will search another performance parts. You a...

Green connectors are for CELs that are currently being tripped. You can keep these plugged in and drive around until the CEL comes on and then it will flash the codes. Black connectors are for the memory. I would use this method to pull CELs from the memory, so you don't have to wait around for it t...

1st gens did not come with EGR, only a purge solenoid and a charcoal canister. EGRs were introduced in the 2nd gen 1995 models. (My father's 2nd gen 95 has EGR, my 1st gen 94 does not)

Black connectors are for CELs stored in the memory. If your memory hasn't cleared in a while, than you might have a few stored.

It'll take you 20-30 minutes tops.

It's as easy as changing out spark plugs and wires.

My father's second gen legacy 95 EJ22 has EGR. My first gen legacy 94 EJ22 does not.

Just a quick update for you fellas out there. I have been trying out some different resistors to see which one works the best. Here are just 2 results: With the 680 ohm 1/2 watt 5% tolerance the actual resistance output was 480 ohms +- 10 ohms. I am not really sure why it's actual output is 200 ohms...

Sold.

Check your fuel pump relay. It's the green one way up under the driver's side dash.

Well my night and morning was absolutely ruined because of this damn problem. I think I found the only hotel lacking outside outlets in all of Anchorage, so I drove to the nearest radio shack but it was out of business. Then I drove to another one and ran into the same problem. Finally made it to t...
