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?
