initially the legacy was only available with the ej22 (i'm sure) and the impreza was only available with the ej18 (i think), US market of course. at some point the ej22 became an option and then standard for the impreza and they quit the ej18 altogether in the us, (but probably not in europe). and then of course the the ej25 was introduced and finally they phased out the ej22, around 2000? maybe. i wonder if the ej18 with a manual trans would be a good combo for a legacy.

you're right, i'm comparing it to here, but what's the worst thing that can happen, the seller says no to 1800$. there are lots of 200k subarus out there. as for the LSi, i've never seen or driven one, but i find it hard to believe that 2 different sources show the 96 - 97 LSi as 2.5L and both are wrong. besides, the auto trans for the LSi is the TZ102Z2CAA which has the 4.44 final drive like the GT and outback. this final drive was only used with the 2.5 engine, never the 2.2L engine. the cars101 web site show the 2.2 as n/a for the LSi 96 - 97, not even an option. it also shows 97 as 'limited production'.

i would try something else first. try locking and unlocking several times from the inside with the door closed. or look for a push button under the dash, press and hold with the key in each position. or i guess you have already tried using the remote. if i disconnect my battery, it reads that as a security issue and turns off my ignition. i'd like to disconnect mine since i don't have a remote, but unless i paid the dealer to do it i'm concerned that i'll disable my car altogether.

i've been so hung up on the no 2.5L in the LSi that i've lost track of this thread. IMHO, 3000$ for 200k is too high, but that's just me. and i'll bet a dollar to a doughnut that the head gaskets have already been done. no way is it worth 3k$ with original head gaskets. question: if they blow now how many would repair and how many would 2.2 swap? is the 2.5 worth putting new gaskets on at 200k? and the other one isn't much better. some one recently commented that the wiggle room on dealer used cars was 40%, so if you really want that red car, i'd offer 1800$ and go from there. or buy another legacy for 2000$ and then spend 1000$ on red paint and GT wheels. and finally, both cars have the 2.5L engine, unless a swap was done, according to http://www.cars101.com/subaru_legacy_archive95_97.html#1996%20legacy%20specs/colors . the 96 LSi was not available with a 2.2L engine, 2.5L engine and auto trans was standard.

there is a great picture/diagram of how the knock sensor should be installed but i couldn't find it. someone should point you to that thread. it's all about the proper alignment / angle. as far as the 'bad' cylinder goes, i can't say it does not happen but it is rare. i'd bet against it. address the knock sensor first then with no codes attack what's left, if anything.. a compression test can tell you a lot.

i think the 96 LSi is a 2.5L engine, like the GT. and i think the LS is a 2.2L. but i could be wrong, it's happened before, just the other day. http://opposedforces.com/parts/info/10100AU080/ LEGACY B11 Usage information Date Body Engine Train Transmission Grade Suspension '95, June — '98, May SEDAN 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission GT Normal suspension '95, June — '97, April SEDAN 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission LS-I Normal suspension '98, June — SEDAN 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission GT Normal suspension '95, June — '98, May WAGON (Middle-high roof) 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission GT Normal suspension '95, June — '97, April WAGON (Middle-high roof) 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission LS-I Normal suspension '98, June — WAGON (Middle-high roof) 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission GT Normal suspension '95, June — '98, May WAGON (Step roof) 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission OUTBACK Normal suspension '98, June — WAGON (Step roof) 2500CC EMPI DOHC NA FULLTIME 4WD Automatic transmission OUTBACK Normal suspension

maybe call your wife or the parts store guy and get the part number to cross check. location mat not matter if they gave her the other sensor. the shop installed the part supplied. it appears they are right next to each other, passenger side, under the intake, threaded in to the coolant pipe that goes forward to the top radiator hose. the one you want is closer to the middle, item #1 below, the outside one is for the instrument cluster gage, item #4 below. the gage sensor has only one wire ( pics from advance auto parts) gage sensor coolant temp sensor part numbers can be found here: http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b11/type_25/cooling_system/water_pipe_1/
