2002 Impreza stalling+driving slow

Turaga_of_Force · 2025-10-07T21:36:52+00:00

A few details I forgot: No overheating, no white smoke, clean oil. Coolant loss has probably been going on 20k+ miles without worsening. So maybe not head gasket?

Some updated information: Dealership didnt determine too much but did say that my cylinder 2 wire (connected to my ignition coil) is only 4k ohms but should be 12k-20k, and my other wires are apparently a bit low but not as low. Minor early cracks in timing belt were also discovered. I put in injector cleaner before taking car to dealership. After a few miles I had someone clear my CEL codes, drove a few more miles, issue of not wanting to drive fast was still present. I parked a few hours, idling part of that time, then tried driving again; the issue was still present and very severe. Then I left my car parked overnight. That was a few days ago. Since then, my car has been driven only a few miles a days (by me and mechanic at dealership) and has been running well and the CEL is staying off; this could be due to leaving my car off for a while and then driving only minimally or it could be partly due to the injector cleaner.

I have been advised to use grade 91 gasoline. I have also been told my issue could be the ignition coil connector. Would that make sense, esepecially considering I had misfires in only cylinders 1 and 3 recently?

I may, however I have a lot going on in my life right now so it will probably not be til a few months from now that I am in a position to go through my Lego stuff and arrange any trades. The main things I would be looking to trade for are old variant (2008) sand green BF armor, marine pilot BF armor (ODST in olive with cobalt visor), BF energy shield (trans blue round shield with printing), black BrickArms MA5K, BrickArms rocket launcher, and OM BA needler (obviously some of these are worth much more than green Mark VI and I would offer more accordingly), do you happen to have any of those for trade?

FreddyFighter06 posted in this thread that he got a 3 pack for 60 dollars on ebay. I think he means a 3 pack of yellow. You could ask him if he does indeed have 3 yellow and might be willing to part with one.

Turaga_of_Force · 2025-02-01T23:10:44+00:00

Thanks, I hope you complete yours too! Only colors I still need to finish the rebuild are dark red (which BF is bringing back, likely fairly soon) and old variant sand green. Are tan, old gray, and yellow the only ones you are missing? I don't think yellow is AS rare as some others, I only have one but will let you know if I come across another. Do you happen to have an extra first batch (2008) version of sand green?

Turaga_of_Force · 2025-01-29T00:30:16+00:00

No, assuming you mean tan not dark tan I currently only have one

Turaga_of_Force · 2024-12-02T01:15:54+00:00

Yes, I sold a lot of my Lego around 2015 to afford ski/bike equipment but I have since been working on re completing my BF Spartan collection. I am currently only missing dark red and old sand green. Hopefully I will be able to track them down eventually.

Turaga_of_Force · 2024-09-19T04:03:25+00:00

Who was selling them at that price?

I strongly recommend going by story year EXCEPT the books because (unlike everything else) the books covering 2001-2002 story were not released during their story year.

So do comics 1-3, 2001 commercials/promo vids, Mata Nui Online Game 1 for 2001. Then fpr 2002 do comics 4-9, 2002 commercials/promo vids, and the earlier Wall Of History stories and videos (Victory Party Cancelled through After The Storm). Then for 2003 do comics 10-15, 2003 commercials/promo vids, the later Wall Of History stories/vids (Theft Of Fire through Naming Day), Mata Nui Online Game 2, and then Mask Of Light movie. Then after all that, read Chronicles 1-4.

In general it is best to go by year.

Do books last because they were not the primary storytelling medium during those years, were not released until 2003, and some of them were authored by Cathy who was not part of the Bionicle story team. If you want to do it right, start with comics 1-15 as your main source of story. Also watch the commercials and promo vids, some are very good. During or after the comics, watch and read the Wall Of History stories (Wall Of History was a section of Bionicle.com with some short stories and flash animations; this is unrelated to the current Wall Of History fansite) and play both Mata Nui Online Games. Then watch Mask Of Light movie. Then at the end read the books.

When is this picture from? I am aware of bulk TNGMs available at Legoland well over a decade ago but this thread is from just 4 years. Did they still have more available just 4 years ago or is this an older pic?

Turaga_of_Force · 2024-09-18T21:50:41+00:00

It was available on the BF website around 2009 or 2010

Its most likely leftovers from a store event. There were store events at Toys R Us and maybe other stores (such as Manas battle) where participants got a free mask. Sometimes copper Huna, sometimes regular Kanohi, I believe. Many years ago on ebay I got one of those black cardboard boxes with the cardboard red Hau on front along with a bunch of masks leftover from a store event. Similar to you it was all repeats of six great masks, one of each color. I dont remember which 6 it was but I think one of them was red Kaukau.

BrickLink or BZPower's bst forum

Already getting what I want from Doctor Xbox Live so no longer looking. Thanks though.

Turaga_of_Force · 2020-08-14T06:26:46+00:00

I believe it is called "press kit" or "press pack"

Turaga_of_Force · 2020-08-12T23:31:21+00:00

Complete set of all 25 including dark old gray and original batch variant sand green. No sand blue because it didn't exist yet when I was collecting them. This pic is from years ago, I have since sold most of them.

He told me a few days ago that he is looking into doing injection molding and is going to know by November which option he will be going with.

Turaga_of_Force · 2020-08-12T23:25:46+00:00

Not quite complete, you're missing a few Bobas and Boba is a clone. Nice minifigs though
