My friend, I think the list would be shorter if I just listed what was NOT wrong with it..

As for the problem we discovered though, my fuel pump sounds like a man blowing bubbles in a milkshake.. I need a new one I think, so I'm going for a high performance one since I intend to hot rod the car.

Also, the steering rack is broken so I'm going to replace it with one out of a WRX and attempt to modify it.. Should shed off about 20lbs.. Either that or just go the cheap route and get a used one out of an svx for cheap..

There's a LOT of other things that needs fixed too, but those are the two we discovered last night..

OK...well now I would tend to agree that possibly it is a charging malfunction somewhere.
You're lucky to be so close to OT!

Re: Engine rumble? Sorta..

So I had this same problem at startup on my 2.5RS. I ran two bottles of Lucas fuel injector cleaner through it and it took care of the problem. Just a thought.

Not at any of the Wal-Marts around me at least. They sell it at most automotive stores. But you can find Seafoam at Wal-Mart, which is a good injector cleaner as well. It's just something to try that is cheap, before you go digging further into things.
