Put new fuel pump and fuel regulator now floods out car
what you need to do is test the injectors, they can occasionally get stuck open. The easiest way to test them is with a mechanics stethascope, or a long screwdriver if you have good hearing, you just listen to the one by one while the motor is running, and pay attention the the series of clicks within. after hearing a couple good ones you will get a feel for what they are supposed to sound like, any injector that does not sound like the others is not operating as it should and should be replaced. A feul injector that is stuck open will make no sound at all. It would be very odd for more than one to be stuck open so if you are not hearing clicks on multiple ones, it is likely either a problem with the power going in, or you are not listening hard enough.
How do I get to the fuse box?
If you're talking about the fuse box in the engine compartment, they generally don't flip open they just come completely off. Find a place along one side where you can get a grip with your fingers and give it a semi firm tug. I hope this helps.
My 1992 Subaru Legacy Wagon is missing, I have
You could try checking the EGR valve to see if it is dirty. It may be running badly at high speed also as it's harder to hear misses at high rpms. You should be able to tell by your acceleration and gas mileage also. Timing chain problems sometimes show up like this. Sorry I can't give you anything definitive but hopefully this will help a little. Good luck!
When I put my 1992
hi, you may need to replace your clutch lining, pressure plate and release bearing. it looks like its sliding and sticking already. hope this helps
I need to know how i can get to my water pump and
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
Drain the coolant into a suitable container.
-
Disconnect the radiator outlet hose.
-
Remove the radiator fan motor assembly.
-
Remove the accessory drive belts.
-
Remove the timing belt, tensioner and camshaft angle sensor.
Refer to the procedure in this section for removal and installation
steps.
-
Remove the left side camshaft pulley(s) and left side rear timing belt cover. Remove the tensioner bracket.
-
Disconnect the radiator hose and heater hose from the water pump.
-
Remove the water pump retainer bolts.
-
Remove the water pump.
To install:
-
Clean the gasket mating surfaces thoroughly. Always use new gaskets during installation.
-
Install the water pump and tighten the bolts, in sequence, to
7-10 ft. lbs. (10-14 Nm). After tightening the bolts once, retighten to
the same specification again.
-
Inspect the radiator hoses for deterioration and replace as
necessary. Connect the radiator hose and heater hose to the water pump.
-
Install the left side rear timing belt cover, left side camshaft pulley(s) and tensioner bracket.
-
Install the camshaft angle sensor, tensioner and timing belt.
-
Install the accessory drive belts.
-
Install the radiator ran motor assembly.
-
Install the radiator outlet hose.
-
Fill the system with coolant.
-
Connect the negative battery cable.
-
Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
-
Check for leaks.
Ej20 valve clearances
My manual says valve clearance is .008" on intake and .010" on exhaust (engine cold).
Stalls while driving. no good reason from
you need to have the engine coolant switch
checked,since the computer relies
solely on sensors,the ect tells the computer how cold or hot it is so the
computer will make it a rich or lean mixture to start the engine,if it tells the
computer that it is 75 degrees the computer will lean the mixture like starting
a car in the winter without a choke.
I would like to know
It is fuse number 3.It is for the lighter and the remote mirrors if it has some.If the fuse is good then make sure the lighter element itself is not bad.This is the fuse panel under the dash board.You did not specify what model legacy you had.I did not realize there were 9 different models.I looked up the sedan.Hope this helps.Good luck.
How do i take thermostat out?
1. Thermostat on this particularcar is on the right-side of the inlet manifold.
2. Allow the engine to cool down for about 3-hours before this removal is attempted.
3. Place a conatiner under the radiator.
4.Drain the coolant into the container by opening the radiator drain valve( which is under the radiator).
5.Disconnect the radiator hose clamp.
6.Pull the upper radiator hose off the thermostat housing cover.
7 Remove the thermostat bolts.
8. Carefully note the position of the old thermostat in its seating place. (arrow is marked on its seating place)
9.Take out the old thermostat.
10.Break off the old gasket seal using a knife or similar object.
11. Reverse this procedure for installation .(rememeber to put in new gasket on the thermostat seating place).
1990 SUBARU OVERHEATS WHILE DRIVING
1990 Subaru overheating condition.
The entire cooling system needs to be checked.
1. If the coolant level is fine - and low coolant level in your cooling system is not the problem - you need to investigate further.(see 2 below)
If the coolant level is low it needs to be topped up with the correct spec coolant and then the cooling system checked for leaks which could be faulty/worn hoses and/or a leaking radiator. If the car continues to overheat after running with the correct coolant level refer to 2 below.
2. If your coolant level is fine the entire cooling system needs to be flushed out and replaced with new coolant of the correct spec. ( If this has not been done for a couple of years it should be routinely carried out in any event every 2 years regardless of any problems).
Whilst this is being carried out the thermostat needs to be removed and checked. If it has not been recently replaced, a new one of the correct spec should be fitted. It is possible that the overheating is being caused by a sticking thermostat which is impeding coolant flow between the engine and the radiator once the engine warms up.
At the same time the water pump should be removed and inspected. If the pump has never been replaced or has not been replaced for many years it is on it's last legs. A faulty/corroded water pump will be unable to flow sufficient coolant through the engines cooling system from/to the radiator and the engine will overheat.
Any old or tired looking rubber hoses (radiator and heater hoses) should be replaced while this work is being carried out.
When the servicing is completed and the new coolant added, the system will need to be bled of air. If this is not done air in the system will impede coolant flow and the engine will overheat. The entire system should then be checked for leaks.
Do not operate your vehicle whilst you have this overheating problem except to get it to the nearest reputable auto service center. You can do very expensive damage to the engine if running it overheated .
