idosubaru Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 1. read the check engine codes - what do you get? any national chain can do it for free if you can't. 2. knock sensor is the most common failure on that engine by a mile - i've never seen a cheap $8 ebay special knock sensor fail yet so they're at least a cheap test mule. 3. plugs and wires 4. the timing belt and pulleys are 22 years old and basically worthless for service - they all need replaced. at a minimum check that none are compromised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
