Well this is very interesting...I just posted a problem with cyl 4 misfire yesterday...(see post: here).

 

So is Subaru acknowledging a problem or is this just a theory?

 

Thanks for posting this...at least if I never find a problem I can fall back on the phantom ECU menace.

[99 Legacy Outback CEL Light]

My Father in law owns this car, he has had an intermittant problem with the CEL coming on.Code always comes up as a mis-fire on the number three cylnder. There are no drivability problems. Car runs fine, and he has largely ignored the light. ( After first having the plugs and wires changed) Here's the rub. He just moved here from Maine. (Here being Upstate New York) Took the car in to be inspected, won't pass because the CEL is on.Has anyone else had this problem? He brought the car to me because I have had a slew of the old GL wagons.
