Completely different system

Mine has a lot of wires and seems that everything pass through the central

Yours seems more ikely the 95-on system that i saw here

Thank you for your help

A bit of an update here. After changing the fuel injector, the main problem of the shaking and rough idle was almost gone. But wagon was still not 100%. Today i got the time to recheck the spark plugs and this time I've measured the gaps. One was a little different (short) from the others. Changed, ...

All of a sudden, all five doors stopped working. No bad fuse or relay. Strange. Called a guy who deal with this. We have checked the driver's actuator and it is working. Power is reaching it too. Then the rear one on the driver's side. Everything great as well. The only difference between them is an...

Yes, it has been a paid job. The result showed one injecting a lot more fuel than the other three. Coincidentally or not, that's the one that made the least difference when pulling the spark plug wire with engine idling. Thanks.

Found the problem! One of the injectors was overfueling! That's why the car goes well when accelerating! But it didn't throw any codes. Removed the injectors and tested the output in a machine. Will post pictures latter! Thanks a lot for the chat and suggestions!

cheers

Ok gang, new spark plug wires, cleaned IACV, disconnected the positive of battery to try to reset things, cleaned battery contacts, nothing.... What next? Car misfires when you try to keep a constant speed. When accelerating it goes well. Lots of power. On engine brake downhill, my tail pipe note re...

Good observations guys. Tomorrow new spark plug wires will be in hand.

cheers

Not good on the misfire thing. Car is running bad, except when you are accelerating. Then goes well, still strong. Idle is still rough. Car shakes a little. It is noticeable that something is wrong. Have cleaned all plugs contacts, removed the o2 sensor and cleaned (good appearence, no carbon buildu...

There was no o'ring there that i saw. I've just reinstalled it, no gasket, just two bolts...

If it's leaking, then now I can easily spot, everything is clean again. Thanks.

I'm almost right you're right. First i've checked the new spark plugs looking fro cracks and also tested the car with the old ones. Nothing. Than checked the hoses again and the fuel pressure regulator (just undo the hose next to the right fuel injectors to see if it's dry or running rich). Last sho...

i did plugged the hoses and no major leaks that i could tell so far. The problem is not only idle, it's shaking while running on low RPM. I can't say misfire, cause i'm not sure. It will run ok, however, if you step your foot hard. Car has plenty of power, but even when cruising you can feel that is...

Thanks. I don't have much experience, but the video encouraged me. Oh, and I do have lots of tools at home, so why not? It's a bit dirty this one, specially since my leaking is not new, just got worse. One minor thing that happened, after the job car now have poor idle and misfire at lower RPMs. htt...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, after some cleaning i could see that the problem is actually the valve covers. Head gasket looks ok, no leak at all. So i went to a Subaru dealer and bought the valve covers and grommets. Then bought some motor oil, a good seepage cleaner, new spark plugs and air filter. ...

Fixed

I just did a good cleanup of the bottom and went for a ride. It seems to me that valve cover gaskets are the problem.

Please take a look and give an opinion. There is one or two pictures that you can actually see the head gasket also.

Sound of the engine after new radiator. No more hesitation.

Hi guys, Just had an overheat from a bad radiator. Now fixed. I was swearing that i had a burn headgasket from the overheat, but engine is running great again with new radiator. No smoke on tail pipe, no water on oil, no oil on water. But i have an oil leak somewhere. Oil is dripping on the floor an...

News :) Replaced the radiator and coolant hoses. Engine is running great again. The smoke was actually coming from the exhaust where there is a lot of oil dripping from under the engine. Will start a new topic about it. Bottom line is: you can't go wrong with the EJ22. Engine is bulletproof even wit...

Hi guys, nice to hear your experience. I might reseal the engine as funds allow cause i do enjoy the wagon. We have other car, but this one is so perfect to carry our large dogs, huge cargo space. It handles like a dream either on tarmac or light off road. Even got a new suspension (kyb shocks, moog...

Thanks guys. I'm still searching for a radiator nearby. In the meantime, car is parked :( The t-stat is Stant (made in Germany), looks exactly like the OEM in your kind pictures. I've searched for a cylinder head gasket set just in case. I see a lot o good reviews about FelPro, but got a good price ...

I'm scared :( My power steering was leaking and a bit of fluid usually drops over the hot exhaust, causong smoke. But the other day it really got worse as soon as i entered the city (traffic). Decided to get fixed and when driving to the shop the car started to blow smoke even more from under the ho...

bought it from first onwer so it's Ok for the age. But always have something to do, which is the fun i wanted in the first place e aí beleza, tá bem apresentável a máquina, tem detalhes de funilaria e um outro vazamento, mas de motor tá bom. Tô rodando direto na estrada, uma delícia de carro. O rest...

Hi all! I'm from Brazil and I'm glad i've found this forum which is very specific for my Legacy (BF 93 2.2 GX). Here's a pic
