Thorr Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 I really don't want to put money into wires as I am pretty sure that's not the problem. I would rather put money towards replacing parts that could be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 3, 2012 I Donated Share Posted August 3, 2012 i also didnt know 05-09 legacys have spark plug wires. How do we know its an 05-09?

Thorr Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Sorry, I forgot to put I have a 2007 model. I said that in my introduction post I think though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 3, 2012 I Donated Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah, if its 05-09 he has coil packs. With that being determined, then I retract my previous statement. I do older Subarus, I'm use to a single coil pack with plug wires. Either way, you likely have a spark issue. Swap coil packs around and see if the misfire moves. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

ssbtech Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Replacing the injector solved the misfire on my #2 cylinder. You can try swapping around the #1 and #3 injectors to see if the problem follows the injector. Be sure to release the fuel pressure first or you might be doing more than soldering wires back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorr Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Can you, or anyone else, point me to a diagram so I can find the injectors? (I'm assuming you are talking about fuel injectors?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looks like opposedforces mucked up their IIS installation Fuel injectors are the yellow things up from the spark plugs. RELEASE THE FUEL PRESSURE FIRST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 dont solder anything on the injector. your are not certified for that. honestly still wondering what you soldered. you claim spark plug wire but there is no wire to the spark plug.

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 3, 2012 I Donated Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think he was talking about the wires coming from the harness to teh coil pack -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

meier motor sports Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well I pulled out all of the plugs. One of the spark plug wires broke so I soldered it back together and used some electrical tape. Cylinder 3 plug wire is the one that broke I think. It had a mis matched spark plug in it. I put some Autolite Copper plugs in there so they all match and I couldn't afford to buy a set of wires. I'm still having a misfire though. Any thoughts? the legacy gt takes ngk iridium plugs they are les then $10 each from autozone. there are no wires. if the correct plugs dont solve the misfire, move the coils and see if the misfire follows. after that move the injectors and see if the misfire follows. driving the car while actively misfiring will damage the engine and cat converters further then they may already be. if you have not yet found why the misfire it is most likely something wrong with the engine and what i would expect as to why the car was a 'discount'.

ssbtech Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I was surprised that I couldn't feel or hear the misfire. It wasn't until I was playing around with the laptop looking at the roughness monitor. It was just under the CEL threshold too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorr Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 I took a look at my fuel injectors today. One of them is missing and it looks like the hole is filled up with some kind of glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
