i could be wrong but i dont think i am........take a look at the throttle body from the front of the car....stand directly above it and look straight down on the left side of it....(use a flashlight) you should be able to see the hose connected to the top of it......if you can pick up a haynes manual they are very helpful.....they arent that hard to replace......i believe its a 19mm with a long extension..... -
prob. not likely but almost anything is possible with electrical problems.....im sure others smarter than i will chime in but i would check all connections....the only thing that comes to mind right now is the computer but they rarely go bad....sorry i couldnt be of more help....you dont have any check engine lights or battery lights on or anything do you?

just mentioning what others have said.....i had this very thing happen to my 96 legacy 2.2 i was cruising up a semi-steep hill at about 60 mph, hit a BUMP and .....than the car started to sputter and it died......cranked its butt off but wouldnt start.......turns out the timing belt jumped a tooth or two ( it was a pretty hard BUMP)...... anyways good thing is its a non interference engine so no harm done....

1996 obw 2.2L

its a pretty easy job...i myself have a 96 legacy with a 2.2 and its prob. the easiest alt. i have ever done (i got a job at work today for an alt. on a 89 prelude and lets just say..... thats why i have a subaru) anyways enough of me babbling on.....if you do get the chance i would pick up a haynes manual, its one of the easiest ways to learn new things....and there only like $20......or im not to sure but maybe this site may be some help.... http://www.endwrench.com .... do a search in the archives section...... -
+1^ it sounds like a good deal to me if that happens to be the ONLY problem.....i would try to get them to knock off the $200 for the mount.....and if you get the mount they are pretty easy to do...even in your driveway......i would get together a list of questions to ask them about recent service...timing belt, head gaskets, rust, anything you can think of....that is a good low mileage car with a great engine but it is 13 years old......
