  1. Mine turned out to be the tab on the connector and the tab on the coil pack. I'll need to replace the coil pack to fix that side of it. I expect it to be fun to get the wiring harness fixed or replaced. Joy.
  2. And I'm back in the thread again... Last year was misfires on all 4, messy but driveable, one shop diagnosed it as the turbo wastegate sticking and wanted to replace the turbo, I replaced the spark plugs and it ran fine. Until now. Overboosted and got that cel, then a cylinder 1 & cylinder 3 misfire. Cleared it, and #3 continued to misfire, sometimes just running rough but not enough to trigger the cel, sometimes enough to trigger the cel then good enough to clear it. It then moved to misfiring so much it was more of a not-firing issue. Faint gas smell at the engine, particularly on that bank. Nothing like fuel spraying everywhere or anything that dramatic though. I suspect injectors, maybe something leading up to that in the fuel delivery department, but will be investigating all the usual, and cheaper, suspects first.

  4. On Friday, after about 48 hours of owning it and maybe putting a whopping 100 or so miles on it, my 2005 GT Limited started misfiring. Took it to the local dealer who told me 3 of the cylinders were misfiring, but due to the presence of aftermarket parts they didn't install they wouldn't look at it further. Took it to another shop yesterday (Saturday), and they found codes 0301-0304. They did look into it further, and found that the waste gate on the turbo was stuck and said this will cause misfires. I skimmed this thread, and if anyone else had misfiring and the turbo was indicated as the problem (or part of the problem), I missed it, so I'm throwing this out there for posterities sake. EDIT: Subaru mechanics I've talked to (from two different semi-local shops) have doubts that the non-Subie-specific shop that blamed the waste gate has accurately assessed the problem. One of the guys I talked to gave me some things to look at that can rule out Saturday's diagnosis and likely leave me with the same underlying problems most here have had. Will update when I get a final determination on this.
