Hi SV Group, I'm having problems with my check engine light. It a manual trans, '91 EJ22. I'm using the KEP wiring diagram. I have one side of the light running to the engine compartment and the other under the dash ta the fuse box. See pictures. In the engine compartment the wire goes into a White plug attaching to the yellow wire. Under the dash it attaches to a Black/yellow wire, is the the Tach wire? Thanks in advance, Rich

Online it says it could be an ECU problem. Start looking for a replacement before you get a no start. Have you tried a reset by D/C battery and connect positive cable to ground to totally discharge the capacitors on the ECU?

I converted my 86 Westy to EG33/Subarugears back in 2018 and everything has been peachy until recently. I now need to crank the van for quite some time before it starts. Once it does, it fires right off and idles like there was no problem. I can immediately turn it off and restart with no problem so I don’t think it’s a coolant temperature thing. If it sits overnight, the problem pops up again. It doesn’t seem like it’s flooded as holding the throttle wide open makes no difference. I can also let the fuel pump cycle a few times and, no difference. It seems more like an ignition problem than a fuel one though it runs perfectly once it has started. I have read where someone else with a EG33/Impreza swap had the same problem and everyone suggested the coolant sensor but it made no difference to him. The coolant doesn’t warm up without the engine running… Mine sounds like exactly the same problem. Has anyone experienced this?

Hey group. New Subie guy w/700K+ of Vanagon time... but newly installed 2.2/2.5 Franken. Van is pretty hard to start below about 45F. I have checked some on the forums, seems like the "key on/off repeatedly fuel pump" trickF helps maybe a little. Van runs flawlessly once going, and the 2.5 w mod 2.2 heads feels like the the motor it's was always supposed to have- (thanks to Outback Motors for build.) Anyway I figured I'd replace the OE pump (and filter) just because it has more than 100K, pressure reg seems like it works generally normally but I was wondering do some folks change to to a Subie fuel delivery; pump, filter etc. Is there a check valve as I have seen some mention? Can someone point me to a thread on "Subaru Cold weather system ops" and how the OBD1 system compensates for temps.... pls tell me what other new Subaru parts I can throw at it LOL. I am in the Mnts of Nevada with wild temp swings. (don't get me started on the cabin heating system LOL!! Install was professionally done last year by an "out of business"shop in SoCal -with his "new" 2.2 drinking a quart of oil every 600 miles (hence Outback saving me)...nice right? "Thanks and Merry Christmas... I am in awe of you guys that did these harness and all from scratch pretty dang amazing.

Happy holidays gang. Hope this finds you all well and happy. I've got a head scratcher for you all. 1999 Subaru EJ25 DOHC in a 1991 Vanagon Multivan w/ Automatic Transmission I don't drive her much anymore as I spend all my time in Mexico and the van stays back home in Oregon. I feel adequately guilty about that. I've got a problem with idle that is easily reproducible. With engine warm (or cold), transmission in drive, vehicle stationary, headlights off, the idle is smooth and right around 750. Life is good. Same conditions as above but now I turn on my headlights. Idle begins to cycle, it surges to around 1500 and slowly tapers off to around 700 or so where it again surges. Over and over. This is uncomfortable as the vehicle is trying to leap forward with the surge and it just ain't right. I've got a smallcar vss on the cv but have not tested it recently. Doesn't make sense to me that it's faulty as the only thing that's changing that causes the surging is more alternator draw because of the headlights being on. Anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting? Appreciate your support. Brent

I looked at the digest and many of the rear spring threads are pretty old. Is there new information out there? I am most likely sitting on original springs front and back (84 westie, ej22 conversion, VW transaxle). The rear end really drops when starting out in 1st gear. GoWesty specifically their springs are not for vehicles with engine conversions. Small Car has springs for 'spirited' driving (not sure if I do that). Does anyone have any other recommendations? I did the rear springs in the 84 tin top I have (1.9 WB) this past summer because one broke so I have the bug to do the westie. Thanks.

We’ve passed our goal for subscription fees. We again have money “in the pot” to use for next years subscription dues. 2022 Surplus $51 2023 Donations $220 ————————————- Subtotal $271 2023/24 Dues -$220 ————————————- 2023/24 Surplus $51 Thank you to each of you that pitched in. Note: I see a few folks had trouble doing PayPal and a few others asked if they could send me money directly. For the first issue - I’ll update my instructions to explain the PayPal steps better. For the second issue - I accepted personal donations for several years and found out that it was more difficult to track and maintain funds (keeping track of your money) during the year. Besides, there was always that temptation to abscond with the 200 something bucks and live another year in Mexico!! So no donations accepted to my personal PayPal, sorry. Again, thanks for your ongoing subaruvanagon posts and your financial support. best, Brent Weide

Morning Folks. It’s been 4 years since we migrated our group off of yahoo groups over here to 开云体育. To give you a short history, we migrated in 2019 and have run off of membership funding since that time. Our group uses more than the allotted 1 gig of photo/attachment/files storage which is available for a free group. A poll/vote was held in November of 2020 wherein members voted to maintain all of our content and fund the group. The next step up from free is the Premium Group which is how we roll. Our group fee of USD $220.00 is due on Monday, December 5, 2023 for the next twelve months. We still have $51 left over from last years donations. So - we’re hoping to get $169 this year. In years past I asked for donations to be made directly to me as I am ultimately responsible for the payment to 开云体育. But now, I’ve configured the group to allow donations/sponsorships through a newly available built-in function. I believe this will make things easier on you, the supporting member. There’s a minimum sponsorship amount of $5.00 USD. I’ll track the sponsorship activity/amount and once we reach our goal I’ll send another notification to you all and disable the sponsorship link. Wondering how to sponsor us? Go to the home page at /g/SubaruVanagon/ Click on the “+ Sponsor This Group: button. Or, if you want to save a step, browse directly to /g/SubaruVanagon/sponsor Fill out the form fields to complete your sponsor donation via PayPal or Credit Card. Depending on where you live in the world, there may be additional payment methods available to you. Thanks very much for your continued support of the SubaruVanagon group. Your shared knowledge, conversion support posts, and sponsorship, are very much appreciated. Best, Brent Weide - moderator (and Mr. Tom Shiels- moderator)

I have a 90’ Syncro with an EJ25 and I have the exact same RPM issues as Billy. My VSS sensor is working properly and showing close to correct speed on the OBDII reader. I have cleaned all throttle body sensors and and just the TPS to .500. Any other advice? thanks!

I have a 1990 EJ22 fitted into my 1983 Westfalia. No factory AC, and no compressor or associated brackets are installed on the engine. One belt from the crank pulley to the alternator. No PS pump, electric PS only. I want to install a Small Car vintage air kit, which means also installing a compressor and evaporator up front as well. I can search for and find Four Seasons remanufactured AC compressors for these older EJ22 engines, as well as brackets on eBay, but I'm wondering if this is the best option. Similar to the easy modern upgrades for the alternator (I'm running a 2001 Legacy 90 amp unit that is PnP), I'm wondering if there are newer model Subaru AC compressors that can swap into the stock brackets on these older engines. Perhaps something that is still available OEM, as I am not too keen on cheap remanufactured units in general. To that end, I'm also wondering if anyone has advice about hose fitment of later compressors at it relates to engine orientation and space in the Vanagon engine bays. Are there obvious choices people running Subaru's in Vanagons are making for their AC compressors?

Hi folks, I have an ej22 in an '84' Westy. Have not had an issue for over 10 years. Last week the dash lights for both the alternator and oxy sensor began staying on after the engine starts. I also have gauges installed and the alternator shows 14+ volts. Any help diagnosing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Somewhere I remember about a "resistor" that facilitates the tach so that the original VW tach can be used. Any help appreciated. 90' Syncro Westie, EJ 2.5

I'd like to replace the pot bearing in the KEP flywheel. Does anyone have a part number or specs for this?
