So update time not much new thinking of renaming mr roboto to "that evil little blue thing in my garage" it was a pretty rough and expensive 4th weekend pothole made me have to get 4 new tires for my outback more brake madness on outback and mr roboto has that funky issue where it acts starved for gas from 3-5th gear, had to pushed it 2miles back home (thank GOD its a metro) So me and a buddy towed it around 40 miles to my mechanic buddy in longmont (hands on auto tech) gonna let him fix all the idle and throttle stuff. and see if we can make that guy trust worthy to set the outback a side. got it to the shop and found my bottle of syncromesh tipped over in the back on the spare tire carpet (the carpet i just cleaned) and my driver headlight is out and the high beam gauge light out |

It always piles on all at once, sort of a law of nature. Nothing was wrong at all with my Swift and then BAM! Suspension goes poop and the tires start crapping out Just gotta ride out the storm |

ok little update not much new buddy finally got it to start sputtering and stall doing 1/4 mile dives getting it past 35 also now my high beam light on the gauge is out and driver side light is browned out reading a lot on the forum here about the fuel issue so since my exhaust sounds like a fart can muffler anywho, resonator is rusted out and muffler is junked ill replace that section completely most likely do the cat end as well going for super quiet thinking of the walker quiet flow muffler any suggestions? This issue seamed to come up after we had to air chisel bolts off the exhaust to get a new seal on the midway joint so maybe we rattled the hell out of the cat. anywho fuel issue to do list check fuel pressure check grounds check o2 sensors (they maybe aftermarket so i may just replace) properly zero the throttle stop screw so i can properly set the tps (anyone have info on this for a 97?) recheck timing belt marks to see if I'm off after tps adjust check vac lines again am I missing anything? thanks guys I'll try to get more pics rolling in |
