OT Legacy
My wife's '90 Legacy has some issues. It hesitates from a stop once in awhile and sometimes it hesitates while moving at freeway speeds. Like it'll just not accellerate when you tell it to.
Now my wife tells me that the cruise control doesn't really work very well. I suspect a faulty throttle position sensor. If I get concurring opinions here, I'll get one and replace it. Is this something I can just remove and replace, or is delicate calibration required? Other details: I have replaced the fuel filter, the plugs are fine, the air filter is fine, there are no vacuum leaks any more and I have thoroughly cleaned the throttle body. Anyway, I have heard plenty of suggestions that a bad TPS will also cause transmission problems. Her 2-3 upshift is scary (has been for the year we've owned the car), so hopefully (if it hasn't permanently damaged the clutches) a replacement TPS will help.

His suggestion? TPS or MAF Sensor. Though both usually will cough up a code, there are times when it won't. So, anyone with a spare MAF Sensor for the SVX they want to part with? VK |

How about a slavage yard? Is the 90 Legacy the same as the 91?

I didn't think of the MAF. Crap, I hop it's not that - those suckers are expensive, right?

MAF? Well, the SVX one is $2xx, dunno about the Legacy. From a wrecker, it probably will be <$100.
Does anyone know whether the SVX MAF is interchangeable with any other Subaru's? There's a guy on eBay selling ones for an SVX. I e-mailed him, and he says he's got 6, and can sell me one at $50USD, but the problem is that he won't ship anything except UPS, and the brokerage charges (not duties, just brokerage) will be almost that much if I got him to ship it to Canada. In comparision, Canada Post collects a measly $5CDN. Anyone willing to receive a shipment for me and I'll pick it up at the meet? I'll prepay the seller, all you have to do is receive it. VK Quote:

Re: Be happy to!
Yeah, that'll work. Great! Thx!
I'm going to check with the seller first to see if this arrangement's OK. If it is, I'll PM you. Thx. VK Quote:
