Anyone tried the torque app on your phone, and an adapter for the port. It is what I have been using on my american cars. The app is like $5 and the adapter can be had from 10-150. The $10 have a lot of issues as I found out later, Just bought a nice one for bluetooth, and it works great. I am out a total of about $80. have not tried it on the Subaru I just got.

I could swap the wires from 1 and 3, I did not do that. I have a spark tester where you can open the gap and see if the spark is jumping the gap at a set voltage. But I do not know what that voltage would be. on my ford it was like Would a bad adjustment on a valve cause compression to be low? I do not know about the timing belt. I have not even attempted to remove any covers for that yet. I thought that if something was wrong there it would cause issues with both cylinders on the same side? Is there a tooth on the crank sensor, or on the crank pulley? I know his biggest issue was that the ECU died and they put the wrong one it in. After I got the correct one, it runs much better, but still has the miss. They got taken by someone that the believed was a Subaru expert (in my opinion). $700 in parts that they gave me a receipt for, after the computer.

I bought a 1999 outback with a 2.5L engine in it. It misses on cyl #3. If I remove the plug wire from #3, there is no change in engine performance. Compression on 1,3 is 150 2,4 is 135. I swapped injectors from 1 to 3. And no change, I also listened to the injector with a screwdriver and you can here it click. Also changed plugs, and the plug tubes do not hae oil in them. So I believe it is coil and wires? am I missing anything? I feel like it is too easy as the guy spent quite a bit of money on it and could not get it to run correctly.
