Should my MDP sensor ground wire show ground with the chassis? It is currently setup to run my AEM 5 bar MAP sensor for speed density.Well I found it it is supposed to be at the ECU sensor ground.Thanks for the help.
Anyone with the 2g Keylessride key fob replacement with the lock, unlock and panic button (rectangular remote), what size batteries does it take?I know it takes 2 flat cell 3v batteries but unsure of the size since I lost them.Please let me know, thanks.

The car has been down for about 3 months after getting an electrical problem fixed. The tune has not been touched from when it last ran. I fixed some major boost leaks post MAP sensor which were causing horrendous idle surge. Leaks are now fixed except a slightly leaking intake valve on #4...
Well, I'm finally back to where I should be, having a reliable DD that I'm not constantly working on for various reasons. I needed cargo space, ability to transport multiple bicycles, better gas mileage, auto is nice for a change.Found an immaculate 2002 Subaru Forester L, 1 owner, 78000...
After a large ordeal that I'm going through, I need some verification with the P1300 DTC/CEL.I need anyone with ECMLink to check to see if it comes on for you under these circumstances.Check the check box for looking for a CEL for the evap, EGR, MDP (most likely not the reason but I...

I need anyone with a turbo 2g to pull their "engine" fuse with the battery still hooked up and re insert it. When it's inserted there will be a clicking. Please let me know where that click is coming from specifically as in a part.This is very important.
Alright, here is the gist of it. I have made a major idiotic mistake after doing a mini rebuild that went fine by the way. I hooked the battery up backwards and reverse powered the electrical system.Blew the alternator fuse and fried the ECU. I have replaced both.I have verified timing...
Figured this would be a good spot. I'm trying to figure out if what happened earlier was correct or if something else should have been done.I ordered multiple parts from a vendor and all were packaged together in the same package. Delivery required signing and when delivered, my mom signed...
Decided that while I need to replace my timing belt from a groove formed by an oil pan bolt, I figured I would re work my cooling system and change out my head gasket.Went with an OEM water pump to replace the possibly bad part store brand and since its getting cold out I'm changing the...
I was helping Mike (90TSI717) figure out his starting issue and before we decided to try some possible reasons, we removed his stock IC setup to make way for a new FMIC.Well, the FMIC needed some tools that we didn't have so that never got on and we decided to move on to the no...
Well I'm no transmission smartie, so, I have a random "grinding" sound that occurs. It's not happening when I shift into a new gear and all gears shift smoothly (reverse doesn't always drop in fully)From a stop, I'll be in first or reverse and when I go and engage the clutch while giving gas...
I was out messing with the car earlier and fixed 2 major exhaust leaks. Loose WB sensor and the first Vband for my waste gate was leaking. After fixing them my car would stall out easily (rpm drops low and doesn't catch). I suppose my "tune" compensated for the leaks.I came across this post...
Well this is going to be my first wheel bearing removal and replacement due to having to change out the parking brake cables. My question is does the selected part need pressed in with an actual press or will it be pressed in when the axle nut is tightened down? More or less wondering if...
I cannot believe I’m on my 3rd revision of my setup! For all of you that have missed my other entries, here are the links for both #1 and #2.
Part 1
Part 2Brief update of why I am now on my 3rd setup. Recently I attempted to get my AC working and unwilling to spend roughly $180 to see if...
You can start by understanding my cooling setup before making comments that would otherwise become known and understood.

Back again for another story? Well this tale is about the AC that could not cool.A long time ago, I once had AC, it was nice while I used it but for the most part, it only came alive to defog my windshield. What a sad boring life for this unit. Longing to please the people in the car, it...
So who has installed a FMIC and still has a 100% working AC system? I just got back from Pepboys to check my AC out as it's been hot since the rebuild and they are saying max pressure is there. Basically the condenser isnt cooling off enough and is heat soaking.I'm 100% ducted to the...
I've been out recently using Eric's (Turbosax2) Excel spread sheet to dial in the VE tables for WOT so they are going to be closer together after this posted log.I am now getting an insane amount of knock and I just changed up the fuel and timing tables to have a variable amount the ECU can...
Part 1
Part 3I received my 9" SPAL fan in the mail yesterday and boy is that thing tiny HAHA!To get to everything I needed to rip off the old air duct work and damn, that gorilla tape is a monster for grip. It didn't pose too much of a problem getting it off but it did put up a bit of a...
Kinda pissed at myself right now. I always make sure that my bag is zipped up too...About 2 hours ago I decided to go for a bike ride (cycling). I grab all of my items including my key ring and put them into the bag under the seat. I zip it close and I'm off. 11 miles later, I get back...
Part 2
Part 3I've been dealing with some extremely hot coolant issues. Some days just cruising normally, I'd reach just about 230* and that's with a colder thermostat. My issues are:
1. Running a SINGLE slim fan which was only rated at 900 CFM
2. No DUCTING
3. Large FMICThe stock fans are...
Need to know if anyone in the Central PA region has 2g ECMlink v3. I just need to try hooking up my connection with a known good cable. Mine connection suddenly stopped working and just need to see if my cable is the culprit or not.Please PM me.
I have 2 bare 7 bolt blocks (no cranks) that I would greatly like out of my garage. They both have their main girdles as well. I'm looking to get $100 per block but I'll consider something else as well.I"m only doing pick up only because shipping would be outrageous.~Scott
Just found an older picture of my engine bay. Boy was that ugly...Here is how it currently sits.Quite the improvement eh? Guess it helps to stay somewhat color coded.
So, what did everyone do to install these? Did you leave the knuckle attached and then drilled/sawed/torched them out, or did you remove the knuckle and then attempt to press them out?I have 10 bushings left to install and it's 5 per side on the rear. I can manage the 2 for the upper...
Since I got the car back and had nothing to do, I decided to do some wire "tucking". Not exactly hiding a lot but moving things around. It was going good, cutting the loom, removing tape, re taping and re routing. I was just working on the section of the harness that goes onto the intake...

Basically, I'm looking for information from members that have dealt with this situation already.When having a single blown piston and only 1 needs replaced. Would most of you opt to replace all 4 pistons for a higher cost or a signal piston for just under half the cost of a set of 4?I may...
Well, I went out and did some spirited driving and after it was all done I'm smoking like a freight train and there is a loss of coolant as well. Today I did some testing and 155 across the board for compression minus cylinder #3 which was at 65. Cap of oil took it to 125.I now know that...
Even we need help at times :coy:I could really use some help anywhere and everywhere you see it. I've been out doing pulls and adjusting for a while and it seems I'm going backwards. The tune that was on before I started was netting roughly 380 according to the HP reading and now I'm much...
I have been having an issue and brought it up to the attention of Jacks Transmissions who recent rebuilt my tranny. Upon receiving it back I've had the problem of my reverse gear popping out. All other gears are fine and there is no grinding, just a very loud thump when it happens and...
