OK Lee,thanks! I was just using a regular snap on test light to see if I had a current from the plug going into the coil pack when the key is on. Hopefully today I will check my codes and determine what I will be needing to replace.

Thanks for that link Josh, my car is the same color and type as yours, seeing it has given me more inspiration to fix mine up!

I am tracking down a coil for it now.If I am getting power off the lead going into the coil using a test light my guess is the power stops there,never getting to the plugs. What do you think Skid? Found the plug for checking computer codes on the car but not sure what to look for or even how to scan...

Finally finished replacing the broken timing belt on my 91 Legacy non-turbo 2.2, upon inspection while turning over the engine I have found that I still have no spark! If I have power to the coil does that mean the coil is bad?

Thanks for the help Matt,are you putting a Subaru engine in a 914 Porsche? Found that info that you mentioned and made copies for reference,also have a Haynes now.Hopefully I have the equipment to compress and check the tensioner. Thanks for the help Matt,I appreciate the help! Finally getting near ...

Thanks for helping me with my timing belt replacement Manarius, where can I find the marks on the gears that I need to align prior to the belt installation? Also do I need to be at top dead center or is there a different spec for this car? I appreciate the help I get on this site, feel like I am get...

At low engine rpm (approaching a traffic light) the engine quit on my 91 legacy 2.2 so hopefully no bent valves. How do I prep the engine prior to timing belt installation? Also how do I adjust the slack after the installation of the belt? Any help appreciated on getting my Subaru roadworthy! thanks...

OK, heading home from work now I'll give the timing belt a look for starters....hopefully solve the problem with little effort!
thanks again Skid

Great advice Skid,thanks again! I will try the codes and then have someone help me out checking the injectors. Can hardly wait to get started,I have a feeling we will get it running again today!

If needed I will definitely take you up on your parts offer, I appreciate that!

Thanks again for the excellent advice!Skid, the engine cranks normally so this is a sure sign that the timing belt is intact but still needs inspection for slipping. Sammy,I am not sure how to check pulses but I do have a Haynes manual with great pics on where the crank sensor,cam sensor,coil,ignito...

OK, I will definitely check my timing belt after reading skid542's threads and learning about his experience, skid542 hopefully yours is still up and running. Can't wait to get my 91 2.2 non-turbo Legacy road worthy,thanks for the suggestions y-all today I will get to some wrenching and figure this ...

91 Legacy turns over but no spark to plugs! Checked the coil per Haynes manual checked out OK,getting power to the coil. Does this mean the ignitor is good if I get power to the coil with the key turned on? If it's not the ignitor what else could it be? Bought this car for $200 because the previous ...
