Coil 97 Outback

Featured Replies

Buddy's rig helping him out anyways...

 

Transition year coil

 

Looking at the harness and coil comparatively, the red and yellow wires are swapped on the coil, should I repin it to the harness?

 

Ran across this sort of thing several times before with aftermarket parts on other makes and proper thing was to repin it to the harness.

 

Subarus any different?

Are the wire colors on the coil all three the same as the harness?

 

What was wrong with the old coil?

Yup

 

Was getting a miss on 1 and 4 blinking CEL when gunned, no longer blinking

 

Both coils have the same possible miswire

1 & 4 isn't a coil problem.

What kind of plugs are in it? How old are they? How old are the plug wires?

Plugs and wires were done last year, NGKs are what was put into it

NGK wires? The cheap parts store wires don't play well with the 2.5 engines.

 

How about other maintenance? Filters and such? All recent?

Seems to me that an oring might be cracked on cyls 1 and 4 injectors, acting like it's loading up at an idle
