WTB: SS Air intake duct that connects to throttle body.

[monkeyposeur]

I am looking for the 22T air intake duct that connects to the throttle body. It is part no. 14462 AA060. Mine has a small crack where it connects to the turbo and is duct taped. It seems to be holding up fine, but I would like to buy an intact one with no cracks.

I am having a strange problem when the SS is first running in the morning. When you press on the gas, the acceleration is hesitant and then there seems to be some sort of misfiring/popping from the passenger side of the engine. Replacing the intake duct may not fix the problem, but I am trying to replace anything that may be causing the problem.

I also have a parts SS wagon that I can pull parts off for trade or will sell if anyone is interested. No, I won't trade the 22T block for it.

Might be fuel pump going out or coolant temp sensor.

I might have that pipe you're looking for. I know I have one or two, I just don't know what condition they're in and they're at my moms so whenever I go over there I can look if I remember.

Thanks, take a look and let me know.

Any suggestions as to what to replace the fuel pump with? OEM? I'll look into replacing that and the coolant temp sensor then.

Wallbro 255. Or if you want to save a few bucks (not a lot since walbro is only like $120 shipped) you can run an STI pump but I would go walbro 255.

check/test the ground connection for the fuel pump
+1 on the Walbro

Cool. I'll check that ground.

Since my SS is stock, I wonder if an STi or WRX fuel pump would be better. I have been told that using a Walbro 255 with no mods will cause my engine to run rich. As I am keeping the SS stock for a while I am trying to gather information so I make the 'right' decision.

I don't think it will but I could be wrong. That's the job of the fuel pressure regulator. It bleeds off excess pressure back to the tank.

you can run the walbro pump no problems on a stock car. i've had one on almost every subaru i've owned

I found a replacement intake and it arrived today! No cracks.

Where is that ground connection for the fuel pump?

[oldscoobyturbo]

its in the wiring on top of the sending unit. open up the trunk remove the cover. unplug the fuel pump tap or add a second wire to the existing ground should be a black wire or blue/black

Thanks!
