Wasn't sure where to post this or if it's even worthy of its own thread. Bought some 4-1/2" 100W halogen lights for some auxiliary lighting on the SS. http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o15/Tyler-K/Legacy/101_1249_tn.jpg http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o15/Tyler-K/Legacy/101_1250_tn.jpg http...

^ Was about to say the same thing, till I saw you already did

Incredible.

Nice Volvo! How's that e-bay turbo holdin' up for ya? :wink: Thanks, the turbo is holding up great actually :) I have yet to hear of anyone having problems with these "newer" style china turbos lol. Ya haha, you got a pretty good combo of cars there if you ask me lol. Agreed, same with yo...

You have the same pair of cars I have LOL

"Devsbeater" is that you? Yeah I'm on TB with the same user name lol. Pretty cool seeing a TB'er here.

What's good. New member here from ON, Canada. Recently acquired a '93 legacy awd turbo 5mt for $400cad :-D Needed a clutch badly, barely made it home, avoiding any stops on hills :lol: ripped the engine and trans out and ordered a clutch asap. In the mean time I modified the stock shifter into a sho...

Rustee, I think we established you got the hang/idle problem under control,right? Yep, thanks for your help figuring out the problem, which turned out to be a simple mis adjustment :wink: I am gonna keep my old tank and fix it in a similiar fashion in case of emergency. I was thinking about using a...

Yeah, I followed the alldata procedure which are the same as those. Using a feeler gauge and multimeter to check for continuity with the different sizes. No more hang

I might just have to buy a new coolant tank as well, I tried all the local wreckers with no luck. Attempting a more solid fix using a brass hose nipple, some plastic pipe and lots of super glue :roll: haha. I'll keep that info in mind when I try to clear codes next time. When doing the connector and...

Problem solved, it was the TPS out of adjustment the whole time. Derp.

The CEL turned off after a bunch of driving breaking the clutch in, but the code is still there. Time for a new knock sensor.

Yeah, I was looking at the knock sensor when I had the intake off again and noticed it has 2 cracks in it. I'd say its time for a new one. That's how I broke the hose off the tank, trying to get the KS connector plug off the bracket, must of hit it with my arm. Also disconnected the battery and leav...

Adjusted the TPS as it was out of spec (no continuity at fully closed and 0.7mm open). Readings are now 8.92K closed, 2.05K open. Won't know if this does anything until tomorrow now. One of the hose nipples broke off the coolant tank spraying hot coolant everywhere :x EDIT: I think it just hit me. W...

Some more findings, if I pinch off the hose to the IAC valve while its "stuck" at any given rpm, it will return to normal idle and doesn't hang when revving. Now my question is, could this be a sticky IAC or a bad TPS? Would a TPS giving off a bad signal cause the IAC to open more? Does it...

After putting everything back together the CEL came on with a code 22. I got a can of seafoam and poured it down the IAC pipe, let it sit for a few mins, ran the engine. I did that multiple times using more and more, and it hasn't changed a thing. So I did the resistance tests described in AllData a...

Thanks for the input Brian. First thing I checked was to see if it was closing all the way, and it is. Right now I have the intake all apart and throttle body off and cleaned, also that little check valve right above the IAC in the manifold seemed a bit sticky so I cleaned it. If it still does it af...

Hai guise, I'm new here :-D Recently picked up a '93 turbo. I just finished putting in a new clutch (removed engine & tranny) today, all went well, started right up etc. But heres my problem; after revving it up a little bit it will stay at that RPM. It does this at basically any RPM and at the ...
