Take your old purge valve with you to compare. I think it is interchangeable, but make sure the plug is the same. Basically anything with around 100 ohms of resistance will make the code go away, I've cut the plug off the bad one and wired it onto a part from a photocopier before the get rid of the CEL (check engine light) So if you have a meter check the one from the donor vehicle,before you buy it, or if your getting it from a wrecking yard have them check it .

Don't even worry about the injector unless the purge valve fixes the problem. If that becomes the case you will want of check all the connectors first.

That purge valve will most of the time cause erroneous codes that will not go away even if you go through the clearing processes. It can b found here http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/eng ... l#resetecu
