My Subary died and I need help to fix it

You say your brother is a mechanic, Eh? Is he real mechanic?

ust moved and had to leave my trusty regular mechanic across the country.

I was advised to add to my description that the engine for this car is a 2.2l with an ignition module.

Had the same thing happen to a Chevy. Ignition coil quit. Did he check for a spark back to the coil???

Would like to get a few ferrets, till I can get more Afghan Hounds. They would probably make a Great team, entertaining, and making me crazy.))

The 95s just MIGHT have OBD II and a code reader may provide some clues. Do you get dash lights? Is the CEL lit? I would try to get a code or a 'blink' code. There are many possibilities, bad crank angle sensor, bad ECU, igniter, etc.

Use a multimeter to check the leads going to the ignition module. If there's power going there, but no spark, then you've got a faulty ignition module (coil is built into this). Did you check for spark properly? you need to put a hose clamp around the base of the spark plug and attach a wire between that and ground so that the plug will spark.

The 95 had issues with the crankshaft position sensor. Go straight to that one and check it. Hope this helps.

Good luck!

I take it you _don't_ have the check engine light on? You car _is_ OBDII compliant (I know, I have the exact same car) and will tell you what it thinks the problem is.

However, just last month I had my ignition coil go - but only one cylinder so I drove it to my neighbourhood mechanic (about 2km).

In my case, I got a misfire code from the computer, but they can fail all together and in that case I can't see you getting any code.
