I thought I had some of the bugs worked out with cleaning some of the electrical connections, but maybe not enough?
One weird thing is when I hit a hard bump in the road, it wants to cut out a bit. After shutting it off, and trying to restart it, the fuel pump did not come on with the key. I let it sit for about a half hour and it took right off. The fuel pressure checked out ok, and there is a pulse going to the injector with a noid light. The water temp when I turned on the parking lights, went up a bit and a bit more when I turned on the lights?? Could it be the ignition switch? I wiggle the key, but does not adversely effect it. Where might I all check for grounds at? This may be a bit different with the Subie engine in it. |

I found out where the cutting out was coming from.
Where the one bolt for the intercooler was bolted on to that black metal plate, apparently the bolt was a little too long, and after about 4 years of engine movement and hitting bumps, it had rubbed a bare spot on the wiring harness under it about 1/4 the size of a pin head. Not sure what the connector goes to, but I shortened up the bolt and cleaned the wires and used some silicone to insulate them. Works good now. Now I have to see why intermittently the water temperature gets a bit warmer, unless it could be related to that? Need to take it out for a longer drive to see what happens.     |
