Do you have the two green test mode connectors? (also near the ECU on the harness) If not then maybe this switch is a substitute. They should be left unconnected for engine running otherwise there may be weird codes and driveability issues.

Do those wires connect to the ECU. If so, what pin numbers. Can unwrap the harness a bit to see where they go otherwise.
|
Google the number on the side of the EMU to figure out what year and model Subaru it came from. Then download the Subaru documentation for that year. For my '95, it was in the OBD II document. Look up the wire colors on the diagrams. My guess is the switch allows togging the EMU into manual or automatic transmission mode.

How about used to switch in or out something like an EcuTune a/f map for the stock one? For our, now-deceased EG33, I added an EcuTune chip so that it would run happily on regular gas (fuel-enriched map did not meet emissions standards). In our case, running rich didn't cause inspection problems, so I never added the switch EcuTune recommended to easily swap maps.?

Anyone know what it does?
The switch is located next to the ECU and is wired directly into the harnes.?

A coupla other options are that it interrupts the check engine light in the dash from coming on.? Or¡a handy fuel or ignition interrupt.? But¡as you can tell from the groups guesses, no one will know but the vendor. Give them a ring.? And please let us know what you find out as this is the first time I¡¯ve ever heard of smallcar introducing such a switch.? Best Brent Ps: If smallcar doesn¡¯t know you¡¯ll have to break out a multimeter and start the process of measuring (using the resistance - audible tone mode) from the wires feeding the switch to each pin on your ecu. And remember to do so with the switch ¡°on¡± and battery disconnected.?

? That switch probably jumps the check mode wires. check your wiring diagrams or just monitor timing curve at both positions.

Re: cooling issues 3.6 EZ
I had serviced my front heater recently and my van always ran hot after that. I had to add a bleeder fitting to the top line of the heater to let out a bunch of air. No amount of raising the front or rear was doing the trick. Once I installed this and bled the heater, the temperature stays rock solid in the middle with my SVX conversion, even running at 80+ mph for 700 miles each way to Idaho and back last weekend.

Re: cooling issues 3.6 EZ
Solved! ?I have 4 hose clamps, could only find 3 this morning getting ready to change out thermostat. ?One on rad out hose. ?Don't remember putting it on. ?I try to keep track of my tools, didn't this time. ?Color me dumb!!!
Topped off coolant, went for a drive, never got above 96C (205F). ?No harm done this time but, man, sometimes I wonder...
|
Re: cooling issues 3.6 EZ
If your radiator is cold, then it¡¯s air locked. Sometimes I can get the air to push thru squeezing the rubber rad hoses. The radiator drain is pointed up on mine and that¡¯s where I bleed it. Hopefully, you can try this before replacing the t stat.?

Re: cooling issues 3.6 EZ
Posting #82534 has my cooling system diagram.
I filled at about 30 degrees nose down but didn't cool it that way...will try tomorrow after I change the thermostat. ?Did have heater lines open initially.
|
Re: cooling issues 3.6 EZ
Diagram of cooling system? Still have air bubble in the system. Have you opened the heater lines while running it hot? Parking it nose down on a good slope to cool it will have any air collect in the expansion tank, then top up the tank +overflow to max. There are pics of 6 cylinder cooling system diagrams in the files.

Hi all, have a 3.6 in my 89 Westy and ran a used engine for a while. Long story short, did several thousand miles on that engine with the cooling system working well. ?Recircs the heater coolant through a pressure tank to open the thermostat. ?Engine ran cool, no problems. ?
Just got around to rebuilding the engine (was always the plan) with new rings and bearings and had the heads planed and checked at a machine shop, valve train all well within spec.?
First start today and idled at 1200-1400 to get one heat cycle in and check the cooling system before driving. ?Warmed up normally then the coolant temp (monitored at the engine as have a LINK ECU) kept going to just over 100C (220F) when I shut it down. ?Bled the radiator again at this point. ?It kind of followed this pattern when I first installed the used engine.
Let it cool, added some coolant, fired it up and started driving to begin ring seating process and get the revs up to blow remaining bubbles through the system. ?Again warmed up relatively normally but temp kept increasing...shut it down at about 108-110C (230+F). ?Checked the radiator lines and both were cool including the main outputs from the engine at the engine! ?Room temp so literally no flow going to the rad. ?Bled the rad: few bubbles but then fresh coolant.
The system has a new radiator, new water pump, and all new hoses which has worked very well before. ?I installed a new (Subaru) thermostat but, now I look at it, I may have inadvertently installed the one which came with the engine originally. ?It was a Subaru part and I had no reason to believe it wasn't ok.
Does this sound like anything but a stuck shut thermostat to anyone? ?Is there anything I'm missing? ?I've already tested the thermostat in my parts box and it works perfectly so I will replace in the morning. ?Means draining the system: is there anything else I should check when I have it drained again? ?Didn't find any problems when installing the rebuilt engine but I'm worried there's something odd going on here.

Thanks Andrew. Folks, if you like Facebook you should head on over there and enjoy all the benefits that they offer. But I would urge you to first watch ¡°The Great Hack¡± so that you make your decisions knowingly. In the meantime, please continue to add to our knowledge repository. And let¡¯s keep this post thread short. ?Not sure it really benefits many users. Best,
