  1. This turned out to be the starter/solenoid. There was power at the terminals, but it was not, shall we say, solenoiding. It's been swapped out, and the car starts reliably again.
  2. Hi folks, I've got a problem with my 2005 Outback that has me stumped. This happened to me one day, then happened to my wife the next day because I didn't tell her. 1. start the car, drive somewhere 10-15 minutes away 2. park, come back to the car for 10-15 minutes 3. turn the key... 4. the dash lights up as usual, the fuel pump runs for a few seconds as usual, but the starter does nothing. Not even a click from the solenoid. 5. I checked a bunch of fuses thinking that one had blown. Didn't find anything unusual. When it happened to my wife the next day she called to ask for advice, I suggested pulling fuses again... she wasn't able to remove any by hand. 6. After I gave up, I turned the key again and it started right up as usual. After she gave up, she turned the key again and it started right up. I tried to reproduce the problem last weekend, but after that 10-15 minute drive the car just started right back up as usual, so there was nothing to troubleshoot. If I take it to a shop and it just works fine again, that'll be a waste of everyone's time, so I'm looking for ideas to troubleshoot this. There's no check-engine light, and there are no codes. Does anyone have idea what what's going on, or how to troubleshoot? Thanks!
  3. Yes, with jetskis if I remember right. Nice car! The show was pretty cool. Not a huge number of cars, but were was a huge variety. A couple of my favorites, for those who missed it:
  4. Who dis? I'm at Classics On The Green, and this is more classic than I ever expected.
  5. COVID was the leading cause of death in Americans ages 45-54 in 2021 | Ars Technica The article linked above is a summary of a study of death certificates, published in JAMA: Leading Causes of Death in the US During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March 2020 to October 2021 | Population Health | JAMA Internal Medicine | JAMA Network
  6. I'm pretty sure I first saw one of these rockets here on LGT.com many years ago. Here's some context: And here's some more:
  7. There's a 'requested torque' intermediate step in my 05. pedal angle and RPM -> requested torque requested torque and RPM -> throttle angle
  8. If I remember correctly, holding full throttle while cranking disables the injectors.
  9. If all else is equal and you just make the heads less restrictive, you'd expect higher MAF at the same MAP. But on the other hand, boost is mostly governed by the wastegate spring, but EGBP can open the wastegate too. Maybe higher MAF = more EGBP = lower MAP? I'm just guessing here. More ignition advance might help with bucking, but of course you want to be careful not to add enough to cause knock. You might also look at AVCS, and use less advance at the RPM/load area where you get the bucking. Valve overlap is the thing that makes big cams prone to bucking in the LS world, and less AVCS advance will reduce overlap.
  10. Cool. FWIW, I didn't really dig into how cams affect engines until well after I got that cams that I have. Knowing what I know now, I'm pretty sure I should have gone with stage 3. The Subaru world thinks of it as a big cam, but the LS1 world would call it medium cam, and AVCS should make it possible for an Ej25 to make those cams behave like they're small under the conditions where large cams start to have drawbacks (low load, low RPM).
