ogopa Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 hey all, so i have a 1996 ej20 subaru legacy jdm version here in kenya. we just replaced the engine on it and cant get it to run properly. dont have access to very good and reasonably priced mechanics. everyone we have gone to is trial and error and yet the same thing is wrong with car. when you start it in the morning it needs a few minutes of you stepping on the gas pedal till it gets warm otherwise it cuts dead. when warm it idles rough. when you drive you have to have the car in high revs for it to move from a stand still position and guzzles a lot of fuel. i have researched and have found it hard to find anything. i did get a code 22 which i believ is the knock sensor. however i dont think that this is the problem. when i connected the black and green connectors the car seemed to run fine, however when disconnected them it went back to its issues. any insight would be great. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Knock sensors can cause some weird issues, but I believe you have a fuel issue. Sounds like you might have an injector dumping to much fuel into the cylinder. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
