Ok, I've had one more thought, is your battery boiling? you will notice wet residue around the top caps due to venting after driving it for more than prob....
and one more idea, use your multimeter, and check the voltage of the postive sensing wire at the alternator (not the big white one under the stud - The other...
Yeah, if you got one (a 12V coil) it won't cost you anything to try the new one in your soob, and it might just turn out to be your "needle"... ...And... if...
Yeah, well the fact that those car are 30 years old makes them hard to find, and also the fact that they weigh a lot makes them popular at the auto crushers...
Put in a new coil, no change, the alternater (both big white and little red) and the battery both read 14.1 until all accs are on then all three dip to 13.5...
I would consider it normal to drop as low as 12.5 volts or so at idle with a heavy electrical load. ... -- "The ride is the reason, the destination is only the...
Maybe that's all you need to do... increase the idle a bit... do you have to go to 1000 to get it to smooth out? I'd only increase the idle to as much as was...
That was a concern - the lopy idle, I increased it to around 950-1,000 and it seems to be doing much better. The biggest concern to me though was the way the...
Ah, what's a few um between friends... The car is back from the shop and the results are disappointing. The piston slap noise is essentially gone when the car...
Hi Lance, none of my books list the idle at less than 850, and I usually set the EA82 at just below 1,000: not high enough to fail the smog idle specs but high...
I recently bought a wrx wagon very clean with 20K plus miles and the drivers side seat has a creak when going over speed bumps or accelerating. I never...
... Frank, Have seen many GLs/Loyales with bad clocks....my suggestion is to take out the glove compartment (and you can do it with one screw only....slide it...
Watch what's happening on the other side of the windshield and it won't bother you so much and I'll feel a lot better about it also. Thanks. ... dash, ... ...
... Oops, maybe I misunderstood Frank...guess I thought he meant that only the colons blink....boy, you have to be careful how you read.... OK Jeff and Glen,...
I'm thinking that maybe "thatguitarguy" has the can now... with those comments about keeping the eyes on the road and off the blinking dots... HeHe... ;-> ... ...
... I tried mailing my can to the next member, but the guy behind the counter started giving me a bunch of hassle about sending hazardous materials, so I had...
Thanks Alan, I don't remember where I got the 750 from - I hope I wasn't reading my BMW haynes and trying to work on the subie......believe me I've done dumber...
... Lance, Have also been able to adjust the idle (somewhat poorly I admit as there is always some slop in the cable itself) by changing the gas pedal cable...
I have a couple more ideas left if that does not work, so let me know. Good luck, Alan ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder...
Yeah... they're called "Head Bolts"... what are you looking for... measurements and sizes and such... you can probably go to a parts store and buy them, or...
My '95 Impreza coupe's tailights are not working, although the brake lights, blinkers and all others are. The bulbs are not blown and the fuse isn't either....
Two of those head bolts are jammed so I need to tap that hole with bigger tap .I was just wandering what the size was and what size of tap I sould use to tap...
You should be able to measure and get your size from the other bolts that aren't jammed, shouldn't you? So you can't get the broken off bolts out? I've never...
After a one month hiatus taking care of some family problems I'm finally able to get back on this computer, hopefully on a regular basis again. I hope I did...
YES, I got those boths out took it to bolt place ...one guy said metric 11 the other said 7/16 ..now I am confused what it was.wondering if anybody has a...
WELCOME Back! Good idea about the politics though... soobies and politics don't mix... as proof, I'd ask: When was the last time you saw Dubya working on a...
Well, without seeing your engine, and knowing what I know about it now (not a lot), if it were me, I'd try cleaning everything up really good and use the...
