Re: Looking for an EJ22
Steve did my last engine and I had a catastrophic failure at 11k miles. I emailed and called since I¡¯m within warranty mileage wise, but I'm outside the 12 month window. I haven¡¯t heard back yet. I¡¯m hoping to find something to just get me through the summer camping season until I can find the money or time to properly rebuild the engine.

ssperformance@... www.subaruperformanceengines.com just inland from san diego definitely knows how to build. just depends on how busy he is building sand rails . hes also got some folks who do installs & mods . I did a franken with a larger block but 2.2 heads . he knows how to do it right. good luck M -----Original Message-----

Re: Subaru temp sender
Hi Maciek, I added a VW temp sender to the Subaru manifold to feed the dash gauge and? has worked perfectly for ~85,000 miles so far! 9MM drill bit, 1.0 x 10MM tap (I think...) On Fri, May 12, 2023 at 9:53?AM Maciej Wicha <maciej.wicha@...> wrote:

Re: Idle Issues.
Thinking i might be running lean. O2 sensors at 0 volts at idle. Seem?to operate through rest of throttle range as they should up to 0.9 volts. I checked fuel pressure and believe i am within spec based on what is in my?factory service manual. I am at 31-32 psi with vacuum 41-42 psi without. ? |

Re: High and sticky RPM
The same is true when cleaning up IACV or Throttle Body.? You have now just introduced new parameters....that is, a clean system.? ECU is not familiar with these new parameters.? No sweat..it will learn...just give it time.

Subaru temp sender
Hi group, I am new here. I live in Warsaw, Poland. I have a Westy 1987 with Syncro conversion done few years ago. I swap the VW 2.0 petrol engine from Golf 3 but now I have all parts ready (sourced in Germany) and a vendor car for Subaru 2.5 (ej25) conversion.?
What is a best solution for temp sensor connection to the original dash gauge? I have read on Samba that it is common practice to drill and install standard VW sender in the cooling manifold (I have a reversed one). Does it right solution based on your experience? Is there anything specific I should keep on the back of mind?? Cheers,? Maciek |

Re: Electrical Help
OK Rick, Let us know how it goes with BB ((Brian). If you are still having problems, I'll drive down from Lakehurst (North of Peterborough) and we'll get it sorted out. I have some good friends in Dundas, so I have a place to stay. Terry On Wed, 10 May 2023, 14:43 Rich Humber, <humber.rich@...> wrote:

Re: Electrical Help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRich,?
I'd be happy to help out. I just put on 04 outback ej25 in my 86 (but with the RWM kit (do not believe this changes anything electrical)). I built my own harness and have all wires well documented.? Do you have a list of questions to start??

Re: Stumble/misfire under load EJ22
I¡¯ve had similar issues in the past which were revealed to be a hairline crack in one of the spark plug wires intermittently shorting to the block or intake. Sometimes you can run it in the dark and see the spark jumping. This issue can be weird because it can be ambient temperature dependent, engine temp dependent, or speed dependent (air rushing past the engine at speed shifts or lifts the wire just enough to stop the short).
The coil internally failing could also cause issues like this which may also jump from cylinder to cylinder, but might not show physical evidence. Cracked spark plug bodies can also do this, but I think it tends to be more regular. |

Re: Idle Issues.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýTry wriggling the wires on your harness at different place while engine is running . See if you can locate a harness or sensor issue. I have huge issues at my large grey plug that goes to my sub harness on the motor. Still trying to figure out the issue. Where the short is. Just need dedicated time?On May 6, 2023, at 4:39 PM, Dr Mark <mark@...> wrote:

Re: Stumble/misfire under load EJ22
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks for all the suggestions.?I forgot to mention the ignition switch is a new old stock switch that was replaced 2k miles ago. Doesn¡¯t mean it can¡¯t be bad, but I did try fiddling with it with no change in condition.? Tested resistance between pins 2 and 4 on the TPS. Per the FSM I should be seeing 10-12k ohms with the throttle closed, I¡¯m seeing 8k ohms, and per the FSM I should be seeing 3-5k ohms at wide open, I¡¯m seeing around 2k ohms. I don¡¯t get any weird spikes, resistance is linear throughout the entire range from open to closed but the lower and upper limits are a little out of spec.? I am wondering if it¡¯s possible I¡¯m getting some pre ignition or a bad signal from my knock sensor causing it to enter a limp mode? I am running a 2.5 short block with 2.2 heads and STI rods and pistons, so it is higher compression than stock. And I¡¯m running at sea level right now versus 5000¡¯ elevation back home. Although I haven¡¯t had a problem with pre ignition in the past at sea level and I¡¯ve probably driven this build around 5k miles at sea level.? It was also recommended to check the fuel pressure regulator, which i actually am carrying a spare so I will be swapping that out this evening.? I smoke tested for vacuum leaks a month or so ago and everything looked good, that¡¯s not to say something hasn¡¯t changed, but the problem is so inconsistent and doesn¡¯t feel like vacuum issues I¡¯ve had on vehicles previously. Thanks for all the suggestions. I¡¯ll do some more troubleshooting and report back if I can find a solution.? On May 7, 2023, at 8:30 AM, Bindu Miller <bindumiller@...> wrote:

Re: Stumble/misfire under load EJ22
Conner I'm not familiar with the 2.2 specifically but have run several Subaru engines in my Westy over the 30 years I have owned it. If it stumbles on acceleration, it could be the TPS worn out. It is supposed to richen the mixture during acceleration. Diagnose with an ohm meter. Also, water in the gas could be the problem, so try some gas drier--I've fixed several maddening issues similar to what you describe just with that. Also, a common problem is worn ignition switch--can create intermittent issues that are hard to diagnose. Next time it happens, try bumping the ig sw-turn back toward off just a hair, see if it makes any difference. Check the simple, basic stuff first.

Re: Stumble/misfire under load EJ22
Probably not too relevant, but two Subie engines ago in our '90 Syncro Westie was from a '93 SVX, Small Car installed. It had a tendency to stall when dropped quickly to idle unloaded (e.g., coasting to stop in neutral) and, quite intermittently, stumbling for no more than 1 second while cruising above 40 mph. I can't remember all the things we tried to fix those issues but I finally gave up and lived with them. FWIW, the EZ30 we run now doesn't have either problem.
