Hello,

      This is my first Subaru and I got it with no engine. 1998 Legacy Wagon 2.5, stick. Put a used 98 2.2 it came w/ ecm. I tried to start it and it cranks but won't fire. The tubes from the valve covers are not hooked to anything. I don't see where they go. also a tube from the upper back of the plastic intake just before the throttle body is not hooked up. I'm guessing they need to hook together. But not sure. My question is do they need to be hooked up to run? I worked on an older Probe one time and that caused it to not start. 

 

Thanks in advance, Ryan

 

First thing I would do is determine whether I have spark or not. 

Have spark and fuel. I also sprayed carb clean in throttle body. 

With spark and fuel, start thinking broken timing belt. Those plastic end covers can be pulled to check the belt. 

My question is do the breathers  need to be hooked up to run?

Thanks, Ryan

Answered my own question. Yes it will.
