Re: 1986-1993 L Series compatible ECUs - MPI

Yeah same number. But I'm wondering if there are still variations for these ECUs. I've found ECUs with this same part number but have slight differences. And one of them being completely different. I have found ebay adds with the 22611 AA620 but the ECU is nothing like my ECU. One add was from the U...

Thanks Bennie, much appreciated.

I will still try and find out as much as I can regarding any interchangeability that may be possible.

1986-1993 L Series compatible ECUs - MPI

Hello all, My apologies if I have doubled up on this topic. I'm trying to work out if, and what, ECUs are interchangeable between the MPI L Series vehicles. So far I have only found this web link https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/subaru/l-series-2173/ac4d-7107/sxd-lxx-117607/relay-s...

EA82 MPFI ignition issue

No I have not tested the power relays. However I have swapped them around. The fuel relay is working, you can hear the fuel pump work when the ignition is turned on. The fuel power relay swapped for the ignition relay didn't make any difference in trying to get the car to kick over. Yes, I'm not goi...

EA82 MPFI ignition issue

Its looking like I may have slightly damaged the ECU. Still have to run some multi-meter tests to confirm. I have not dared to try and look at the under-side of the ECU, not even sure how to get to the back of teh circiut board. Not sure what they are, could be power transformers prehaps, located on...

EA82 MPFI ignition issue

The ultimatesubaru discussion forum has a couple of threads that identify the coil transistor being a starting issue. There are also discussions regarding a noise suppressor/filter also being a starting issue. However I have not worked out where the noise suppressor/filter is located and what it loo...

I found a diagram that identifies the 3 different power relays (for a 1992 Brumby). https://www.fixya.com/cars/t26588021-fuel_relay_look_like_1992_subaru_brumby The two relays that sit next to each other and slot into metal clips, are identified as the fuel (Green electrical socket) and Ignition (Br...

EA82 MPFI ignition issue

Green light from the computer flashes when the ignition is turned on. I've located 3 power relays above the steering column and the computer. The relays visually look OK and do not smell of smoke. I'll have to get hold of a multimeter and do some testing. The Haynes 1979-1995 repair manual (manual 8...

EA82 MPFI ignition issue

Thanks Bennie, I was thinking that the ignition module was obsolete with a ECM vehicle. I had only made a visual inspection of the computer circuit board. Given the pop and the smoke I would have thought that there would have been some obvious signs of fried up circuits. Could only see one side of t...

EA82 MPFI ignition issue

Just come across this USA discussion for an 88 model.

Not sure what an 88 Justy is equivalent to. However, they locate the ignition module to being above/near the hood leaver and is attached to side wall.

Hello all, Quick couple of questions regarding the ignition module. Will my 1989 EA82 MPI wagon have one of these? Where is it located (pictures/diagram if possible please)? I'm also having starting problems after it died. Totally my fault due to haste, lack of knowledge and a bit of stupidity throw...

Re: 1989 EA82 Touring Wagon MPFI (non-turbo) front CVs

Thank you,

I pulled the noisy axle out today and counted up the the splines. 25 at the transmission end 30 at the wheel end.

I'll order a pair and can not check with the seller to make sure they are the right CVs.

1989 EA82 Touring Wagon MPFI (non-turbo) front CVs

Can anyone help me with a part number or other descriptions so that I can identify the correct CV for this car. Is a part number stamped on the front CVs somewhere? One size fits all does not apply for the Leone series vehicles. I have a 1986 carby (auto) wagon as a parts donor car, which has a diff...

The rims came with the car when I bought it about 3 years ago. All the rims appear to look the same until I discovered this problem - two of the 5 rims are slightly different in appearance, which I've only just noticed. I noticed the front left is scrubbing out a bit after 3yrs of light use, probabl...

Replacement Rims

Does any one know what non-subaru rims will fit an 89 Touring Wagon. 2 of my rims are slightly different and rub on the steering arm ball joint. I went to pick'n'payless (Blacktown) this afternoon to get some replacement 13 inch rims but there were no L series cars in the yard. Happy to go up in siz...

I cut down allot of engine noise on my 89 model EA82 after fixing up the seals on the exhaust manifolds. I left the old gaskets on and added new gaskets with some gasket exhaust cement. This significantly cut down the engine rattles.

OK - Subaru has got back to me after providing them with the part number on the Distributor Unit. The parts are not listed in Australia and have to be imported from Japan. Shipping is 2 weeks and the cost is $116.20. I've exchanged the previous parts recieved as a deposit to get the right cap and ro...
