As far as previous problems with the Subaru. I had the throttle position sensor replaced by a mechanic because the car was bucking. the failure code was 1057, but the replace part t did not entirely resolve the problem. Three weeks later the car failed completely and it is now a retirement hobby. The timing belt was replaced about 30,000 miles ago. It seems logical that low pressure at the injectors would restrict enough fuel from getting into the cylinders and prevent the engine from turning over. How do you measure what the actual pressure is? It has also been suggested that there could be a problem with the cam position sensor, that when defective, can turn off the firing of the fuel injectors. Is this correct? The Noid light sounds like a great idea!! I've looked them up online at Habor Freight and their test kit is suitable for testing GM TBI, GM SCPI, GM PFI, GM MULTEC2, BOSCH2, FORD TBI, GEO TBI and BOSCH PFI systems. What system does the Subaru use? Could you recommend a reasonably priced noid light?

I have a four cylinder Outback wagon (2000) that is not getting fuel to the cylinders. I have check the fuel pump by removing the supply hose at the filter in the engine compartment. There is good flow, however the engine will not kick over unless I spray fuel into the intake manifold. When I do this the engine will start briefly then sputter to a stop. My question is how are the fuel injectors controlled? Any insight to this problem would be appreciated. Much thanks in advance.
