WTB: injector for 91 non turbo

I’m looking for a good, used injector for my 91 L wagon. Does anyone have one lying around they’d let go for cheap. I don’t really wanna spend 100+ on a new one right now. I’m in western Washington and would prefer local pickup, but I’m fine with getting one shipped. Just wanna get the legacy back o...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

Just replaced the crank sensor and it appears to be fixed. Idling smoothly at operating temp at 750 rpm. I’ll probably replace the sprocket at some point, but for now I’m just glad it’s working. If it breaks on me again I’ll let you guys know. Thanks for all the help!

Re: Post head gasket frustration

Here’s what the sprocket looks like. Hopefully the link works properly.

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I’ll post a pic of the sprocket when I get home. I’ll pick up a new crank sensor too. How would I wire the new one? My current one is a 3 wire sensor but the later model ones all appear to be a 2 wire sensor

Re: Post head gasket frustration

Wouldn’t the car throw a code if the crank sensor was getting an off reading? I still don’t get any codes when it shuts off. I did notice when I pulled everything apart that a little bit of one of the tabs on the back of the crank sprocket was cracked and not fully there. The main bulk of it was sti...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I figured out why I was getting a bunch of codes randomly. When I probed the ecu pins, they got slightly stretched and weren’t making good contact. I was able to re-tension them and haven’t had an issue with them again. The coolant temp sensor I was checking was the two wire one. I realize the one w...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

The latest news is that I’m currently getting some phantom codes popping up. I tried starting the car today and got a no start. I had cleared all codes before starting, but on initial start up I got code 21 and code 13. My engine fans were also running on high. I reached up under the dash and wiggle...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I charged up my battery and put it in my car today. I double checked the wiring from my cam sensor to the ecu and it was good too. Checked codes and before I even started, I had code 21. Tried starting it and it would fire but ran really bad and wouldn’t stay running. Checked codes again and also ha...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

That’s one of the sites I found to find the proper pins for the ecu. In the latest news, I checked resistance on those wires I wasn’t getting a reading from and today they had a good reading. I’m assuming I either didn’t probe them good enough or I probed the wrong pin last time. I decided to try to...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I retraced the coolant temp sensor wire with a different wiring diagram I found and ended up getting a resistance reading. I can’t get a reading for the throttle position sensor though. I traced the brown wire to plug B56, slot 6 and was able to get a reading. I traced the white and black wires to p...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I finally had some time to work on my car and trace wires. I got good resistance readings on all the grounds and the maf wires. I checked the coolant temp sensor wiring for resistance and couldn’t get a reading at all on the green wire with the black stripe on it. I was testing it off the green/blac...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I’ll try to take a look at the wiring this weekend and see. I’ll double check the grounds too. I ordered replacement vacuum/pcv lines which I hopefully will get in a few days. The curved hose that connects into the pcv valve disintegrated in my hands when I tried to remove it. A couple other lines w...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I put a new o2 sensor in it. It still will not run when it warms up. Once it starts to warm up, it stalls out. It doesn’t sputter or try to stay running either. Just completely off like I turned the key. I’ve replaced almost every sensor now and I haven’t found any wiring issues or vacuum leaks. It’...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

So for funnsies today I decided to try and get it to fire up with the o2 sensor unplugged. With the o2 sensor unplugged I can actually get it to idle for 15-20 seconds in gear before it dies, where as with it plugged in it immediately dies. I also don’t get any codes for it when it’s unplugged, whic...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I tested some of the wiring for the maf and it didn’t seem like there was a problem with any of it. I picked up a new maf from oreillys too and tried that. Still won’t run with the brand new maf. I’m about to the point where I might just pull my intake back off to make sure nothing got caught undern...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I was able to check some of the stuff out on those tests. The ecu checked out fine and the wiring looked like it is good too. I’ll put a different maf in it this weekend and see if it runs then.

Re: Post head gasket frustration

My car is an auto. It has a black plastic and green label maf. I have tried to start it with the coolant temp sensor unplugged. It turned on the fans and did not want to start.

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I put the new plugs in. Still dies and no codes showing. I only tried it twice cause I didn’t want to foul up the brand new spark plugs...again. I tested the resistance on all the injectors and I got 13.6 ohms, 12.4 ohms, 13.7 ohms, and 15.8 ohms. All of the injectors are original except the one wit...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I found my spare maf (I believe it works properly though I’m not sure). I tried it with that and also cleared codes. It seemed maybe a little better, still dies and I now have no codes at all popping up. I pulled the spark plugs out and looked at them. They were completely carbon fouled so it obviou...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I just pulled my timing cover off to double check my timing just in case it was off and I didn’t notice. It looks spot on, though I did notice that the new belt has left a lot of greasy grime on the idlers

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I tried it with the maf unplugged and couldn’t get it to run at all. I checked codes yesterday and I had 21, 23, 24. The 24 was because I forgot to plug back in the iac after I swapped to a different good one to see if that was the problem. My coolant temp sensor almost doesn’t feel like it’s pluggi...

Re: Post head gasket frustration

I was leaning towards maf but wasn’t sure. I was actually going to replace it with my spare, but of course, I can’t find it. I’ll report back if a maf cleaning or replacement fixes it or not

Post head gasket frustration

I just finished up doing head gaskets on my 91 n/a legacy. Everything went fine and dandy until I tried firing it up. I cannot get it to run right and am currently stumped as to where to look. The car starts up and runs fine when it’s cold IF I don’t touch the throttle. It’ll run until it’s warm the...
