Does anyone know if this particular year/engine can be hooked to a handheld diagnostic machine? I found a plug on the driver's side, inside the engine compartment right off the firewall. It has a rectangular shaped plug...the small diagnostic machines I have seen have a plug with a tapered head.

The fuel pump does come on after it dies...I can hear it. Also, the clicking is much faster, maybe twice per second. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you all...I tried the coil first and thought that was the fix. Went on several trial runs for about a half an hour and the wagon ran fine. Took it to the local gas station to fuel it up and it died on the way. Same issue. Cranks but won't fire. Going to the temp sensor next...after I try to limp it home.

Hello all, I have a 1987 Subaru GL wagon with the single point fuel injected 1.8l engine. It is a 2wd. I've encountered a problem that has me stumped...it runs like a top--until it is warmed up. Then it will die without much warning. If I try to start it again right away it will crank but not fire, and there is a ticking sound which I haven't been able to locate. If I allow the car to cool for 5 min or so, it will start right up. Anyone have a similar experience, or have any ideas what I could try? Thank you! Chris
