Yeah we all live and learn.
The tooth for the crank position sensor.
Now the true test iam hittin' the rode for a two hour drive.

I figured it out, finally, Thank God! One tooth on the reluctor ring of the crank sprocket was broke off, screwing timing up. I should have replaced it from the begining but thought it was O.K. I know iam a moron. Runs great now with all the new parts :D Thanks for all the help its a great site hope...

The marks on the belt are right on the notches on the cams and crank, all at the 12'o clock position #1 piston on compression stroke. Am I missing something? My gas Mileage was about 27 miles / gal. seems low? MAF sensor was one of the first things I replaced. It was from a salvage yard , they said ...

I changed timing belt, tensioner , and knock sensor . Still idles rough and almost dies when i give it gas i checked plug and there carboned up is it a fuel problem? Iam lost!

I went to the dealer to pick up a timing belt and tensioner and had them check the knock sensor again $60.

I reset the ecu again and now i get the Knock Sensor and the EVAP Purge Valve. The only place i can get them in this area (SE MN) is the only Subaru dealer

where is the EVAP valve on a 91 Legacy?

How do i know if the cams are on the right stroke, does the revolution matter when all the marks line up and the crank is on the compression stroke? Please help I need this car runni...

I checked the codes and the knock sensor, canister purge solenoid valve, and idle switch came up. Now i need to find them. I know i sound dumb replacing random parts but iam not alone , since two garages i talked with said the codes would not tell me anything specific, so i saved the hundred bucks. ...
