Since you already changed the plugs and wires, the next thing to try, both in terms of likelihood and low cost, is the ignition coil. It was $80 for my Forester, and fixed that exact code, even on the same cylinder!

PZEV vehicles can be sold in any of the sates. Your dealer can order you one if they do not have one available. We have been getting some in stock and are in a non-PZEV state. The ectended PZEV warranty is only good though if the car is in a PZEV state.

my dealer ordered one for me, took about 6 weeks to get it. You get a nice PZEV logo on the back under the Outback. Have not noticed any of the rough running issues others with PZEV have had.
My neighbour who just got a Prius (to add to his stable of an Escalade , Carrera and E500!) is upset I have a PZEV too like his Prius! I still think the household fuel economy in my household beats his even with my little Winnebago dragging me down!

my car died by nano7

I drive a 1993 subaru legacy wagon.
One day i was driving along and the car started to smoke from the hood. It had a sort of burning rubber smell. As i drove up the road my car starting chugging and when i would give it gas nothing would happen. then while driving it shut down, and now it won't start again. when we turn the key on the car tries to start but it doesn't.
Please help, and thanks in advance for your help.

Are your belts intact? If the exposed belts are intact then it's likely the timing belt that went on you. But it could be something totally different w/o much info to go on.

Subaru Starting issues by edbaseball

I have a starting issue in our 2000 Subaru that has never happened before
last month. Cold weather seems to be the trigger. New battery, still problem. I also notice "clicking" sound when I "move" the shifter to the right getting ready to engage
it. Lights seem to be dimer...
On these sights i see everyone, for the most part getting new batteries with the same problems coming back...
Surely someone has solved this issue?

Did you ever get this resolved? It sounds like what is happening to us and i have read many postings and concluded:
1. Already replaced battery
2.Replace solenoid and or "relay"
3. Replace starter?
4. One person replaced electrical system?(not doing that)
