search on how to pull codes, and how to reset ECU.
Probably just the knock sensor, and if you need a new one they run about 50 from the discount subaru dealers.
Could be the MAF is a little dirty and you can clean that with some brake cleaner but you need to be careful and not touch the wires on the sensor.
