Thank You for that clarification. The videos I was watching used the term interchangeably and showed the location at the front of the engine between block and radiator. got me confused (the error code was p0030).I appreciate your input

So, with great hesitation, I made a trip to the dealership to diagnose a "check engine light " only to find that after searching for a location of this a/f sensor that I am puzzled. Is the a/f sensor the same as an O2 sensor? The youtube vds seems to point to this. I own a 2003 outback with 2.5 and the vids I've looked at are not helpful in finding the location if this is indeed a separate sensor.

Now that's a great idea that I was hoping I wouldn't have to face since I replaced at 150,000 (now has 170,000).However I will put on my big boy pants and have a look to either rule that out or correct the issue. Would you happen to know if the fuel pump should be pushing fuel with key in the on position? thx

So in an attempt to pass on the Subaru to the next generation of drivers, after my son got some gas (yes I heard that gasp!)and was on his way the 93 legacy suddenly died.Being a fairly new driver and not much mechanical experience--details of what happened shortly before are sketchy at best. Had it towed back home and am scratching my head as to why the "sudden death".She still turns over with no signs of actually starting Checked the alternator and checked out fine. Pulled the fuel line off,turned on key and nothing.Cannot figure out which fuse/relay controls fuel pump. bad fuel pump? other issues???? I am puzzled at this point and am looking for help,ideas to get this faithful friend back on the road.
