1999 Subaru legacy, EJ22 running issues...

[94SS_Canada]

Hello, My brother recently bought an EJ22 5 speed legacy for 1000$ with a blown tranny, I had the driveline from a 98RS so 2 weeks later we have a fully operational Subaru, a nice one at that.

This is the dealo, When we looked at the Car turned on and ran like a top, receipts for bearings being replaced and many other various things.

The car was slanted forward for probably 3 days when in the meantime the rear diff and other PITA things were being dealt with. My brother decided to De-snork it, and replaced the EJ25 style intake ( dual filters, one standard panel, one right at throttle body) and just replace it with just the first panel filter.

Now we go to turn it on and right away the smell of gas is apparent, The Exhaust is fairly black at first then smooths out to a light white/ burnt gas color. Thier is moisture on the ground, light moisture and it is Gas.

You can get the car going if you rev it decently hard but it does not like idle, It will stall like a carbed moter coming to stops with the clutch after downshifting from third into second. The Car has no RPM gauge or Speed Sensor (There is no speed sensor attached as of now, Is this a problem?) It leans out higher in the rpm range, but you can feal the power, The Car has a mix of old 87 with new 91 and a desnork.

Things we did, Removed Spark plugs, Cranked over to clear Cylinders.

Conclusions, Ive heard of De-snorking these cars causing problems, But could it be that bad? Possibly a leaking injector O-ring, very unlikely. Maybe just run it through on the first tank of GAS and go back to 87?

This Car pulls really good for an EJ22, no exhaust leaks and the engine seems solid.

So the car dosent like to idle probably due to flooding and then the car dosent recieve enough fuel in the top end?

Whats are problem? Please help!
