Gonna check the knock sensor next, got a knock sensor code now too, go figure..... Sounds like you may be in luck there, sweet!!! I hope I can get the same result lol toss some karma this way...

Crap, replaced coil plugs and wires. Still has the misfire occasionally. What next????? ugh...

13mm deepwell huh? I will give that a shot...... I have the joy of it being the # 4 cyl. Looks like a straight shot in there once I take the washer fluid reservoir out. I will give it a shot.... Thanks! More to follow....

yeah fuel gauge works. Actually found out the # 4 cyl was misfiring. Turned out the end of the plugwire was cracked. Part of the rubber boot is stuck on the plug now. A new delimma now lol go figure. How on earth can you remove the 1/2 inch of rubber boot from the plug??? UGH... in the meantime I used the old wire and connected the contact on the plug itself and slid what was left of the hard plastic shield over the plug and slid the red rubber cap over the top.... Misfire is gone however im sure that wire being rigged like that probably wont last too long. If anyone has any ideas on this one I would love to hear.

anymore feedback on this one?? Any subaru mechanic gurus near madison wi???

yeah I put the knock sensor in myself actually..... hmmmmmm

Very good. Yes let me know what shakes out. I did replace the knock sensor like 6 mos ago. Didnt get genuine subaru wires though. Might have to try that. I will have to check what NGK plugs I got. They were platinum ones but were only like 4 bucks apiece..... More to follow. Thanks again though, hope to get this sorted out....

Greetings. Hope to get some help or guidance on this issue please. I have a 1997 legacy GT wagon 2.5 that started missing occasionally at start up. Was usually in the morning first thing and went away after a few miles. Just figured wires were shot so I replaced the wires and plugs. Well things got worse after that as far as the misfire went. Plugs were gapped etc (NGK) and CEL would flas during the misfire episodes that would last for a min or 2 at most then it would go away. CHecked codes and comes up with misfires on cyls 1, 3 and 4. Replaced coil next. Car worked great for 5 mins and misfire would occur again however no blinking CEL this time but misfire is there. What could the problem be? Not sure what else is in line as far as this problem goes. Any help would be totally appreciated. Additionally, if there are any Subaru Mechanic gurus near madison WI that could help me out, let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I checked in there as well. Should I have posted this request in the meet and greet??

Hello, just wanted to check in and see if anyone has any good Subaru gurus here in southern WI. Just wanna have or establish a failsafe in case something comes up that I cant fix. Thanks in advance for any help!

Greetings, Jesse here 37 from southwest Wisconsin. Just wanted to check in and say hello. I scored a 1997 Subaru Legacy GT as a commuter car to make my daily jaunts to Madison and back everyday.
