Cleaning the sensors helped but I don't think it fixed the fault. The Low level sensor light came on today, with 3/8 of a tank. It went back off in a bit. I have not filled the tank yet to see how much gas it will take. I'm going to run it until the low level light is on steady or I'm at E. I think they are wired in series as when I disconnected either one of them the tank went to E. Larry

engine swap

It's possible, use your old intake on the new engine. Your 96 most likely has a single port y pipe and the 91 has a dual port y pipe so you'll need a single port y pipe. The other problem is the EGR Configuration. you need to stay in the same configuration as the 96. -
Least expensive and a good option if you can do it yourself, get an engine from a self server yard and put it in. Do the Timing belt and seals. Look for a car with significant damage and lower mileage that way you know it was going down the road. $400 - $600 Get a used engine from a full service yard - www.car-part.com $1000 - $2000 Have a Subaru Engine Shop rebuild your current engine - $1500 - $3000 Sell the Car ($800 - $1500 depending on condition) and then replace it $$$$$$$

3/4 = 1/2 & 1/2 = Empty - Fuel Sending Unit 98 Impreza I have not pulled the unit yet, but it's kind of strange that it's reading so high. The fuel low level light does come on but it's still showing half. I'll pull the unit when I get time and clean the contacts and make sure the float is free. Larry

Is your 99 the 2.5 DOHC? If so yes. Seen EGR notes in the previous post. Larry -
The internal filter is really not a filter it's a screen. You most likely do not have the external filter, its available from Subaru. It mounts to the frame rail and you tap into the rubber hoses. Don't bother dropping the pan, in fact most times it causes a leak. Only drop it if it's leaking to reseal it.

Yes, 96-99 will interchange. Check out the Colorado Springs Craigslist - rust free CO Car $1400. Larry -
I always go the other way 2.5 to 2.2. Never had a problem. Make sure all of you connections are good if you have not done that already. I'd you have a problem before the swap? Could be a cam or crank sensor is cutting out a higher RPM. Does it make a difference if you are under load or just in neutral?

If you need a TPS I have several. When you crank and it doesn't start does it have spark? You may have a cam or crank sensor going out. An oil leak at the back of the engine is most likely coming from the breather plate. The RTV fails when the screws loosen. Also make sure you PVC valve is working.
