On a 1992 Subaru SVX, the spark plugs are located on the top of the engine, specifically within the cylinder heads. The SVX features a flat-six engine layout, so you'll find three spark plugs on each side of the engine, typically covered by ignition coil packs. To access them, you may need to remove the engine cover and the coils. Always consult a repair manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions before attempting any maintenance.

To test the ignition coil on a 1997 Subaru SVX, first, ensure the engine is off and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Use a multimeter to measure the primary resistance by connecting the probes to the coil's positive and negative terminals; it should typically read between 0.5 to 1.5 ohms. Next, measure the secondary resistance by connecting one probe to the coil output terminal and the other to the positive terminal; this should read between 6,000 to 15,000 ohms. If the readings are outside these ranges, the ignition coil may be faulty and should be replaced.

To remove the governor on a 1994 Subaru SVX LSI, you typically need to modify the vehicle's ECU or replace it with a performance chip that bypasses the speed limiter. This process involves accessing the ECU, which is usually located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment, and either reprogramming it or installing a new unit. Keep in mind that removing the governor can have legal and safety implications, so it's important to ensure compliance with local regulations and consider the potential impact on vehicle performance and reliability. Always consult a professional mechanic or tuner for assistance.

Yes, timing belt failure in a Subaru SVX can lead to significant engine damage. The SVX has an interference engine design, meaning that if the timing belt breaks, the pistons can collide with the valves, causing bent valves, damaged pistons, and potential catastrophic engine failure. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the timing belt are crucial to prevent such issues.

To replace the brakes on a Subaru SVX, first, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Remove the wheel, then take off the caliper by loosening the caliper bolts and sliding it off the rotor. Replace the old brake pads with new ones, compress the caliper piston if necessary, and reassemble by securing the caliper and wheel back in place. Finally, pump the brake pedal to ensure proper pad seating before driving.

To reset an SVX airbag light, you'll typically need to use an OBD-II scanner that can read and clear airbag codes. First, connect the scanner to the vehicle's diagnostic port, turn on the ignition, and follow the scanner's prompts to read and clear any airbag fault codes. If the light persists after resetting, it may indicate an underlying issue that needs to be addressed before the light can be cleared permanently. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions related to your model.

An exploded view of the Subaru ER27 engine can typically be found in service manuals or repair guides specific to that engine model. Online resources such as automotive forums, enthusiast websites, or platforms like YouTube may also provide detailed diagrams or videos showcasing the engine's components. Additionally, websites specializing in Subaru parts or repair might offer exploded views for reference.

To install a serpentine belt on a Subaru SVX, first, ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Locate the belt routing diagram, usually found on a sticker under the hood. Then, use a wrench or socket to relieve tension on the tensioner pulley, allowing you to remove the old belt. Finally, route the new belt according to the diagram, reapply tension, and double-check the alignment before reconnecting the battery.

To replace the headlamps on a 1995 Subaru SVX, start by opening the hood and locating the headlamp assembly. Remove the retaining screws or clips holding the assembly in place, then gently pull the assembly forward. Disconnect the wiring harness from the back of the headlamp, replace the bulb by twisting it counterclockwise, and then install the new bulb by twisting it clockwise. Reconnect the wiring harness, reposition the headlamp assembly, and secure it with the screws or clips.

In the Subaru SVX, the thermostat is located in the engine compartment, specifically in the coolant outlet housing on the engine block. To access it, you typically need to remove the upper radiator hose and the housing cover. It’s advisable to consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions, as the process can vary depending on the engine configuration.

To remove the park signal lamp on a 1997 Subaru SVX, first, open the hood and locate the headlight assembly. You may need to remove the screws or clips securing the assembly to access the park signal lamp. Once the assembly is free, twist the socket counterclockwise to remove the bulb. Carefully pull the bulb out of the socket to replace it if needed.

The inertia shut-off switch on a 1992 Subaru SVX is typically located in the trunk area, near the fuel pump or along the rear seat area. It is designed to cut off fuel supply in the event of a collision. To access it, you may need to remove the trunk lining or look for a small reset button. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific guidance on its location.

To determine if you need an ignition switch or an ignition coil, you can look for specific symptoms. If your vehicle doesn't start, but lights and accessories function normally, the ignition switch may be faulty. Conversely, if the engine cranks but doesn’t start, or if you experience misfires or stalling, the ignition coil could be the issue. Testing these components with a multimeter can provide further confirmation of their functionality.

Subaru vehicles typically feature continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), which can be considered sealed in the sense that they do not have a conventional dipstick for checking fluid levels. Instead, they are designed to be maintenance-free under normal driving conditions, with fluid changes recommended at specific intervals. However, some models may have a fill plug for servicing. It's always best to consult the owner’s manual for specific maintenance guidelines for your particular Subaru model.

The fuel safety switch, also known as the fuel pump relay or inertia switch, in a Subaru SVX is typically located in the driver's side kick panel or near the fuse box. To access it, you may need to remove some trim panels. If you're troubleshooting fuel pump issues, it's advisable to consult the owner's manual or a repair manual for specific diagrams and locations.

To replace the headlight on a 1992 Subaru SVX, first, open the hood and locate the headlight assembly. Remove the screws or clips holding the assembly in place, then gently pull it out. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the old bulb by twisting it counterclockwise. Insert the new bulb, reconnect the electrical connector, and reattach the headlight assembly. Finally, test the new headlight to ensure it works properly.

To remove the door from a 1996 Subaru SVX, you will need basic hand tools including a socket set, screwdrivers (both flathead and Phillips), and possibly a Torx driver set. Additionally, a trim removal tool can help detach any plastic clips without damaging the interior. It's also useful to have a helper to assist with holding the door while you disconnect wiring and support it during removal. Make sure to disconnect the car battery before starting to avoid any electrical issues.

The SVX was, unfortunately, never available with a manual transmission. The SVX does however use the Subaru EG33 flat 6 engine that is derived from the EJ22 flat 4 engine. Manual transmissions for the EJ22 can are compatible with the EG33 and are commonly swapped in. Subaru Legacy manual transmissions from '95 and '96 bolt directly on to the EG33 but body mounts and drive shafts must be modified to complete the swap.

It is worth noting that a few SVXs were produced with front wheel drive to lower cost in an attempt to increase sales in '94 and '95. Obviously, if you want a manual in the front wheel drive version you won't be able to use a transmission from another Subaru as they all have all wheel drive.

All Subaru SVX engines were designed to run on premium fuel of 93 octane.

The diagnostic Connection was started on all vehicles in 1996, so the 1992 Subaru does not have one.

Place a 10 amp fuse in the FWD fuse spot. This puts the car in FWD mode for towing purposes . Try moving the car. If the jerking goes away its probably due to the rwd or awd clutch pack at the rear of the transmission. Dont drive the car fast at this point , this is just for test purposes. Let me know what happens.

The 92 SVX uses individual coils for each spark plug, so there are 6 of these total. Each of these is held in place with a 12MM bolt and once this bolt is fully loosened, carefully remove the coil and if replacing, then unplug (2 pin) connector. I say be careful as the two wires leading into the coil are not very hearty and because these individual coils are so long, it takes a little bit of manipulating to get them out of the spark plug bore, and if you are not gentle about it, these wires can be easily broken. Hope this helps.
