turbo970 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 i own a 1992 legacy turbo wagon and since we unloaded it from the flat bed it wont start. replaced the coil ign module plugs and wires. could this be a ground issue or timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Did it start before? When was the last time it started? Does the starter turn over? Is it getting fuel (bad fuel pump)? Did you take off the timing covers and check if the timing is correct? Did you check the battery and negative ground? The fuel pump has a ground, check that too. Post a pic of your touring wagon.

monkeyposeur Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 That's strange. I'm at a loss. Just to clarify, did you replace the coil pack that the spark plugs plug into, or the ignition module? People call them different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Nice t leggy. I'm sure it is something simple to get it running. I just don't know what to tell you. Were you able to check the timing yet? My wagon died today but it was just a loose neg connect on the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo970 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 i did notice the crank pully was wobbling as we cranked it. could that throw the crank sensor off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I don't know, but that sure doesn't sound good. Did you try tightening it? It should be tightened about 140 ft lbs or more. Is it an auto or manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo970 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 its a auto but its not loose at the bolt its at the rubber bushing in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Really? If so you better replace the crank pulley. If your crank sprocket is off your timing will also be off and it won't start. Have you checked it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Wagon Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Well if you're not good at replacing parts yourself you need to hook them up with a new crank pulley, woodruff key and that gear that goes behind the crank pulley. I always called it a timing gear. Either way, if they dont replace that crap when they do the timing the crank pulley's just gonna wobble again.

turbo970 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 i was just thinking a better up pipe and maybe a newer subbie turbo if they interchanged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Your stock up pipe is catless and is great. If you want a bigger turbo, you will definitely need a top mount intercooler. A TD04 with a wrx tmic will give you around 30hp and not give your ecu any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo970 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 it is cat less? looks like theres a cat there but i'll have to check again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 There is a cat on your down pipe. Only heat shields on the up pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
