January 25, 200422 yr OK, that is a condensor or resistor. It is used to primarily reduce static and radio noise I believe. You can get one off just about any Subaru in the junkyard. I reccommend taking the engine attachment bracket off instead of trying to unscrew it. Then remve the connection at the coil. Not an absolutely neccessary part but it is reccommended to use it. You may even be able to get it new from a dealer but it is probably pricey knowing the dealer pricing.
January 25, 200422 yr Yeah - thats a condensor of some sort if I'm not mistaken. The one on my Brat was broken just like that - in fact - many of the ones I've seen are broken. The wire pulls out of the unit - it looks stripped when it does that. I didn't notice any adverse effects from not having one, but I replaced it when I located a good one at the JY. No difference with a good one. It just doesn't seem to have much effect either way. GD
