Just found this group and thought you could help me with my beloved old 92 Loyale wagon. Motor picked up bad misfire this weekend..just put new plugs,wires,cap and rotor not evan 6 months ago. If it helps its a 1.8L 5 speed FWD with 183,000 miles on it. Hystory of car has been ..bought it in Oct.have had no problems with it except an axle shaft (typical subaru there)Have put about 25,000 miles on it. Check engine light has been on since I bought it and when it is cold the one lifter taps for a bit till it gets warmed up.And its a leaker..oil..brake fluid. I pulled the plugs today and they were white.Also the plug wire on the #1 cylinder had alot of black carbon dust fall out.You can also smell the unburnt fuel coming from the exhaust. This is my 3rd Subaru and I just adore this car..want to keep it around till nothing is left of it. Am I looking at something major with it or am I just over reacting. Did I overlook something? Thanks for any help.
Connie.
