the guy i got it from drove it all over the country,he was the origional owner.i am going to get some iridium plugs for it.

i just got the car 3 days ago,the engine looks stock.This motor does not have sparkplug wires it has the coil on plug.I hope all the coils are not bad.

I had my check engine light read and it came up with missfire on 1,2,3,4 cylinders,and running rich on the left bank.The car is a 02 WRX with 170000 miles on it.a friend was saying it was probaly the sparkplugs.

I decided to get the WRX,the car has leather interior and is in great shape,all stock.I drove the car from San Jose to Sacramento and it drove nice.I couldnt pass it up for $6200.

that sounds like to much work.the cheapest ive seen a trans for a wrx is about $900,i was hoping they where the same.

would a 2001 impreza rs trans work in the 2002 wrx?

I have a 96 outback now with 246,000 on it and have found a 02 WRX for $6300.The WRX has 170,000 miles on it,third gear grind ,and a CEL.Does this sound like a good deal?the body looks good just worried about the high milage and trans issue.Do these cars start having problems with higher milage?i do not want anouther subaru that i have to wrench on alot.

i just wanted to make sure the 2.2 crankshaft sprocket wasnt throwing the timing off on the 2.5 motor.

does anyonoe know if the 2.2 and 2.5 crankshaft sprocket are the same?

The car does run better at higher speed so the timing being off seems to be right.I also replaced the 2.5 crankshaft sprocket with one from a 2.2.

The timing could be off because it was running good before i changed the crankshaft sprocket.I will tear it down and redo the timingbelt and see if that works.I thought the timing was good because the car starts rite up.

would the injector codes make the car miss?

i replaced the crank sensor and plug and the car still is stumbling every few revolutions,the only good thing now is atleast the car runs and there is no more oil leaks.

i was told only 96 was hydraulic lifters.

the alternator bumped it and dented it.

im sure the tips on the crankshaft sprocket are good,but sensor might be bad since it is dented on the top.

i just went and looked at the crank sensor,after unpluging it i could see that 1 of the wires going to the sensor was barley atached by a couple of the small strands not sure if this would make it stumble but ill be back out at the wrecking yard tommorow to get anouther plug for the crank sensor.somebody had stripped away both wires for probing and thats what caused the strands to break.

the crank sensor did get a little dent in it,i will try using a diferent one.i also tried anouther ecu from a 95 outback with a 2.2 but it wouldnt even let the car start.

i was backprobing the ecu a few weeks ago when the car wasnt running so maybe something grounded out.i can here the injectors clicking.the miss is like every 4 seconds.i will try and use anouther ecu i pulled from anouther outback.

i tested the injectors and they are all 11.5 ohms.

The car has a heavy miss to it at idle and driving,i also get codes po203 and 204 injector circuit open.Could the injectors be making it stumble real bad? also do these codes mean the injectors are bad?i unpluged the injectors and plugged them back in but didnt change anything.

I scanned the car and came up with code po203 injector circuit open cylinder3 and po204 # 4 injector,would would cause these codes? is it bad injectors or the wireing?

i picked up my 96 outback for $250 and it needed headgaskets.i did the job myself for under $300.

i went with the old oilpump housing and now it is leaking.atleast the car is running again eneded up being a blown 30 amp fuse in the engine compartment.

after getting the crankshaft sprocket off ,i could see that the oil pump housing was messed up around the seal.will a 2.2 oil pump housing fit a 2.5 ?
