Hey group, I have a 91 subaru legacy wagon with the 2.2 liter motor, automatic. The thing died in my driveway after a long trip. Made a huge noise while trying to start it... like a metal ball bouncing inside, now it cranks, but does not turn over. The spark for 3 and 4 cylinders was weak or nonexistant, the resistances for the distributer-likr part were about 1 ohm for both the 1-2 and 3-4 inputs, the output resistance was about 17k for both. The averaged signal voltage from the ignition transistor was was lower for the 3-4 pair while cranking. I replaced the ignition transistor for $50..... no change. Before I waste more money I want to get a code reader for this car. I have never messed with these, I am finding it difficult to locate a code reader for a reasonable price... is it an OBD1 reader? or special japanese tool?
I post this in some desperation realizing i will be taking a bit spam hit on my this email acct. please post replies if possible.
Thanks
