Problems with my 92
Got it running about a month ago, but really havent driven it any where. It sat for 4yrs and the gas was pretty bad. I added about 7gal of fresh stuff plus some conditioner etc. It would run for a while and then die. I assumed it was just sucking up some bad stuff. Recently it would run for 5sec and shut off so I changed the fuel filter.
I pulled the line from the filter to the fuel rail and hooked up a hose to a gas can to see if the pump was working and it checks out. Its still doing it Its almost like the ign is getting turned off the way it dies. I had a few codes that were not fuel or ign related that I took care of prior to this, so what should I look for now?

Re: Problems with my 92
Maybe try unplugging the MAF? Sorry that's all I got.

Re: Problems with my 92
I suggest seafoam. Pour into the tank to clean injectors and suck into the vac system to hopefully clear up gummed or varnished valves.

Re: Problems with my 92
I had planned on doing that, after I got all the bad gas run thru it.
Guess it wouldnt hurt to toss some in now.

Re: Problems with my 92
i would do this first. does the gas smell really bad? I would recommend sta-bil instead of seafoam. seafoam is some harsh stuff, good to not subject your car to it unless you have to. i know i will get flack from someone because a lot of people swear by it but i don't believe the hype.

Re: Problems with my 92
Can I chime in as an organic chemist? It's all the same sh*t. Just various organic solvents in different ratios that can be burnt away in a combustion chamber to dissolve the organic (carbon) crud that builds up all over the place. So it really probably doesn't matter which one you pick.
What I don't like about these cleaners is that there's not really going to be much dissolving going on if there's not a significant amount of the stuff in liquid form physically in contact with the grime/crud. So don't expect too much.

On the cleaners, they really aren't the same. First, they aren't just various ratios...they are also various concentrations. Second, they don't all have the same solvents and some solvents are supposedly better. Polyether Amine is supposedly the best but some "green" companies claim that certain soy based solvents are better. 3M Max Strength has the highest concentration of PEA but the bottle is smaller so you need to use more. People generally rave about Redline SI-1 and Amsoil PI.

Re: Problems with my 92
my problem isn't with what it could potentially do to the fuel system (which is a problem but could be fixed) but what the corrosive fluid does when it comes in contact with the your engine metal and gets into your oil. if you run a can through and smell your oil it will smell like seafoam. they claim you can add it to oil but only a fool would add a thin solvent to their oil. whatever you run through your fuel lines will find it's way into your oil, especially in high mileage engines. do what you like but if you are that concerned just take the line off the fuel filter, put a paper clip in the fuel pump relay socket, and drain all of the gas. if you do use it then let your car idle until it runs out of gas and then change the oil right away. i recommend marine sta-bil because it has proven to be less corrosive from experience.

And another I just noticed, my upper rad hose was completely collapsed. I popped the cap and relieved the pressure, looks like I need a new cap too.

Re: Problems with my 92
Problem fixed! After using the Subaru Select Monitor again, getting a code 23, I found my spare MAF and swapped it out. Funny, the thing was working fine before
