Hello all! I posted here a couple weeks ago about a 95 Legacy that just died without warning. We just spend e few frigid hours following up on the leads advised here, and here are the results: The ignition coil module resistance tests are within the normal range. There is current making it to the ignition module. There is power going to the injectors when we try to start. There is no spark on the plugs. We could not smell gas on the plugs, but it's cold out there and by then we has runny noses... The gas pump builds up pressure normally. The famous crank position sensor, well, how do you test the darn thing? The car is outside, in a tempo garage. Methods described tell you to raise the car and spin a tire and check for regular modulation of the current, or to spin the pulley manually to do the same thing. Right... Cannot do either. We removed the sensor, at least that's easy to do, and is has a magnetic charge that fluctuates when you run another magnet near it. The little silver canister is a bit loose. I'm really tempted to call my local Subaru dealer and order the part anyway. So... we're at a loss. Now we are suspecting the igniter (near the firewall). Ideas? We did not check engine compression because we were getting really cold. Naked hands, - 4 degrees, cold metal... It will be the next thing to do, but my brother is leaving for the week, so it won't be done until next week. So, please, Subaru experts out there, if you could give us your best guess, we would really appreciate it! I really miss my car, in the meantime I'm having to drive this PoS Ford Tempo and I hate it! Thanks to all!
