I'm new to this forum, but have found great info. I own a 97 Legacy 2.5 GT. 150K miles on it. Its been giving me a CEL for a blocked EGR flow. I replaced the EGR with one off an Outback with a 2.5 out of the salvage yard. Didn't fix it. So I thought then it might be the EGR solenoid. Still nothing. I was told that sometimes it can build up so much carbon that it could completely block one of the intake ports. So this weekend I purchased a couple new intake gaskets and pulled the intake manifold, still nothing. In the process I pulled the EGR pipe (pain in the a#$). I stuck a small screw driver into the bottom EGR pipe hole on the block. I could tell it was blocked. I turned it until it went through with no interference. So after all said and done I put it all back to together and went to fire it, and of course nothing. It just turned over and over. After this I pulled the fuel line back off and and there wasn't any fuel in the line. Also when I shut the ignition off some of the dash lights stayed on and were flashing. I double checked all my electrical connections and didn't find anything out of the norm. I tried turning it over one more time and nothing at all this time. I heard the starter hit, but nothing else, and no dash lights. I know this is long, sorry about the that, but I could use some serious help!
Thanks, Tyler
