Re: Pinout for fuel pump connector?
OK, I went out and did a bit more checking. I looked for voltage and resistance on each pin relative to ground, both with key on and in ignition / run position. Findings are below. All of them...

Pinout for fuel pump connector?
My SVX (92, 123k miles) has been sitting pretty much since November, since it was getting too cold to work on it outside. At the time, it was running fine. I went to move it yesterday, and it...

Re: Bump stop replacement
Thanks for the input - this is where I'm leaning as well. Yeah I know it's not exactly crucial, but I'd like to have them there to help the struts out, especially given the fact that I think the...

Bump stop replacement
So, over the course of working on my car, I've noticed that the rear bump stops (on the OEM struts) are completely gone. I'd like to replace them, but the OEM parts are NLA from Subaru. Ideally,...

Re: Fuel tank "Jet" pump?
Ah, I was thinking you were referring to another electric / mechanical pump assembly, not just the vacuum device that pulls from the other side. Hadn't heard that part called the "jet pump" before,...

Re: Fuel tank "Jet" pump?
There's not a secondary pump - there is another tube assembly with a smaller sock on it and a separate fuel level sending unit that goes into the other side. It's connected to the main pump assembly...

Re: Painting center caps?
Thank you for locating the post! Unfortunately I don't think this will work for me, since the '94 wheels are a lighter shade than the ones on my '92.

Re: Painting center caps?
That's a great idea, I will probably attempt that next time. I can get plastic droppers from work, but those might be too big. I may try to find some proper metal needles on Amazon.

Re: Painting center caps?
For reference, here's a stock cap from my '94 parts car in place on the '92 wheel. Way too light, so this won't work either. The white stuff on the wheel is dried tire paste - I have to wipe that...

Re: Painting center caps?
OK, so I finally got around to this yesterday. For anyone considering painting these caps to match wheels, DO NOT use this paint. Despite the cap matching the wheels, it came out way too dark, even...

Re: Transmission computer question
I'd assume so, but to confirm you could look up the part numbers for both on one of the online Subaru parts sites and confirm that they match?
