On a motor that does not have a carburetor, i wouldnt know the first place to spray starter fluid. And i havent checked the spark either but when trying to start the motor it seems to have a lot of friction and has a hard time turning over. When i took off the cam pulley? Where it holds the serpentine belts, i had it at top dead center, 0, then when i took off the plastic cover over the timing belt the triangle on the front of the cam was pointing at a timing mark?

I have replaced the belt but still not starting. I followed all of the instructions in the manual for replacing the timing belt. Not sure what could have gone wrong. I even took the belt off and tried timing it multiple times but no luck

Yeah the oil pump o ring seal definitely needs changed. I appreciate it guys

Is there anything else that has to be replaced when replacing the belt

Could it have slipped. The marks on both cams are pointing the same direction but are not aligned with the notch at the top.

I pulled the timing belt inspection cover off. The belt is not broke but does not turn when cranking the engine? Any ideas

Well it was supposed to be the Ignition control module because it was tested at the Subaru dealership then the numbers were taken to auto zone and it tested bad. But then I bought another one and it still didn't start. I guess I should get my own ohm meter. So I guess the next step would be to check the cam and crank sensors?

Just took the ignition control module out and had it checked. That is supposed to be the problem.

I was driving it today and it was running fine until I stopped at a stoplight. It died on me there and wouldn't restart. However it did try to start once when I was cranking it but after that the motor just kept cranking. I replaced the Coil pack because I wasn't getting any spark out of the plug wires when cranking but still no spark after installing the new coil pack. Could it be the ignition control module? Or what is the easiest and cheapest thing to check next?
