hard starting

I've got a'90 Legacy LS wagon, N/A, Automatic. When it's totally cold it will fire adn die, then just crank over unless I start feeding throttle into it. Kind of like an overly tight choke on a carburated engine. Once it has fired adn run for a few seconds I can let it come beack down to idle adn it...

No, I'm sure it's comming in where the roof moulding goes in behind the the door seal groove. I will probably just pull the moulding adn put sealant along the rain gutter to try to seal where ever the water is seeping thru.

Water lking above drivers door

I got the sunroof sealed, but now I am fighting a leak that is coming in behind the drivers door seal. It appears to be coming thru just about where the roofline trim turns into the winshield trim. Will try to get a pic to show exactly where. Has anyone else had to deal with this and if so how'd you...

Noticed that, too. Kind of cool that Subaru had it in '90, and now it's the latest thing on the new Ford diesel's..... Go figure

My '90 wagon had may of the same problems as you have, except for the steering wobble. Both of my rear drag links were bent (see messed up alignemnt specs thread for pics). Changed the rear draglinks, much better but still some sudden oversteer (toe out), got it aligned, and walla, it drives like a ...

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure. Definatgely not needed in "normal" driving, mine won't shift under hard acceleration until it hits the rev limiter, (pop, pop, shift), but it does seem to help hold the engine under deceleration, allows keeping the RPM's up to maximize engin...

Sub Newb trans question part 2

'90 Legacy LS AWD wagon, non-turbo, AT.

Question: What exactly does the "manual" button on the shifter do? I can't tell much, if any, difference with or without it engaged.

Another ignoranat newbie trans question

Coming from a mechanical background and years of working on old american iron I think I already know the answer, but... The '90 Legacy 4wd wagon I got shifts nice and firm from 1-2, slides thru 2-3, and firm again 3-4. I have gotten used to letting off the throttle for the 2-3 shift, but if I'm beat...

Swapped out the lateral links this afternoon, not too bad, only had to blue tip wrench one bolt on the donor car. set the camber bolts at straight up, and have an appointment at 3 pm tomorrow to get it aligned. I can tell already that it handles MUCH better. Anyone need some slightly used lateral li...

Okay, next ignorant question, Subaru's use a 5 on 100mm bolt pattern, correct? if so that's the same as some Chrysler minivans, and most fwd GM stuff. Do the wheels interchange? Also what is the maximum backspacing that can be run before you start rubbing the struts, assuming a 205/60-15 or 215/50-1...

Doh, I mis-read that line, somehow read "all 4 wheel drive" instead of "all 4 wheels"

Located in the Tacoma Washington area, and have check with most of the yards nearby. Either thay don't have any, the wires are cut/sensor broken, or they won't sell just the hub, only the entire side, strut and all. Mine just had all new rotors, calipers, ect. installed, and I will be r2'ing the str...

Thanks for the info. I take it eh system is not worth putting back to stock? I'll look and see if the compressor is still there. If it is can it be used for anything else, or does anyone here need one?

VG3 posted "All four wheels have ABS. No vehicle has front-only ABS as far as I know." The parts car I have been tearing apart is a '90 Legacy L 4wd wagon, but it DOES NOT have ABS. I looked when I had it hauled to the house, as I need a rt front ABS equipped hub to rplace a non-ABS hub on...
