Hate to be a buzz kill but my niece has a 99 forester that I work on when needed and the rust situation is not all that bad. It has over 200k on it. My nephew has a 98 jeep I just spent a lot of time under because I had to replace the flywheel and it has close to 0 body rust and he has over 200k on it. And we are in the death zone of NY as far as the map and salt goes.

Her is the latest looking at the plug that gose to the coil my wires are blue black yellow red. with tab on top. With a test light. the type with the old style glass fuse type bulb in it. With ignition on probe to yellow wire and - battery I have voltage. With ignition off probe to black wire and +battery the test light lights so ground is good. What I dont know how to do is test the other wires. I think the are supposed to pulse but how to you hook up the test light? Also I hear that a cam sensor will keep a Forester from starting but if it went bad while driving it wont stop the engine. anyone know if this is true. My engine just stopped while driving. Thanks Chris

My yellow wire is the third from the right. I am getting 12 volts. I probed the other three and it looks like no ground. Is the ground from the pcm?

Have a 99 Forester and I am getting no spark after replacing crank sensor and coil. I ave 4 wires going to the coil. How can I test the to make sure the coil is getting what it needs. And dose the 99 have a ignitor and if so where is it located? I have see pics of it on the upper part of the firewall on a 95 forester but I just cant find mine if I have one.
