FWIW: I replaced the BPT - back pressure transducer - that sits on top of the EGR valve and has 4 vacuum lines connected to fix my p0400. These are readily avl. on most EGR subarus from the '90s and Toyotas - I used a (used) Toyota version on my '96 Legacy w/the 2.2.

I'd be reading up on this generation. Any turbo'd Subaru is a gamble, IMHO. These had suspension, headlight bulb, along w/the turbo engine issues - Ringlands, VF40 turbo failures, etc. If you like to work on your cars - and can get parts in AK - they are a fun car...but maintenance intensive. They also had an HVAC/ICE/stereo integrated system so no easy HU upgrades.

Yeah- used - if AK has any options up there. Or RA for KYB struts - and you'll need a spring compressor. Pretty sure the good brands don't make (nor maybe anyone at this point) a full front or rear strut assembly for the 90s Legacy.

Hi, There should be many posts on here about the Duty C - used to be a daily/weekly topic on this forum as some of the mid-90's suffered a failure/issues. start here: It's located in the tailshaft (?) end of the transmission but can be replaced w/out dropping the trans, but is a project. Don't know your budget for the driveshaft, but I'd be OK buying used as I haven't read about this being a common failure. Should be the same part from '95/96-'99 for the Legacy - all Automatic (not manual) models.

P.s.s this age they should be PlugnPlay - remove the battery cables 1st if you're not familiar w/the process. Also, check the EGI (?) fuse under the hood- the big one. Might have gotten blown, too. GL

This shows '99 only but AT and MT use the same: https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru__/Engine-Control-Module-ECM-Engine-Crankshaft-Position-Sensor-Bracket/49232072/22611AE510.html I'm not sure about the '99 being MAF or MAP based? If it has the MAF by the airbox then it's likley a one year only ECU, since I believe the '00-'01 EJ22 were MAP. Here's one on Ebay: 22611ae510

? weird? How? Maybe I should be more specific to the 'ignition (edit) switch where you put the key in can wear out', but in the context of the previous post, I 'assumed' it was implied.

^No - not something I've done. Just read about.

Yeah..try this too: http://opposedforces.com/ It's working, but shows the domain expired 5/2025?

Any chance you got the 3.6 vs. the 2.5 version? Unless you have the 3.6. I'd guess the 3.6 are a different p/n for the extra weight? Maybe not.

I've read about the ignition wearing out on other cars and causing similar symptoms, so likely Subars can too.

And/or try this:

Please review the posts that you stated you read, " I read several times you can plumb the EGR tube into the IAC hose". It's basically: Run the EGR hard line/pipe into the IAC's hose or the Intake. And plug the HEAD's EGR port. Edit: Bottom end? I'm not sure what that is - except on traditional 4 cylinders the head is above the block /bottom end. On this forum it's usually 'short block' and 'long block'. Long block includes the cylinder heads; the short block does not. If you only replaced the Short block and re-used your heads, then the EGR port is still there as it's in the heads - not the block. But my guess is you meant Long block which includes the heads.

'90 and '91 5-speeds used the metal MAF - like the '91-'94 EJ22T(urbos). '90-'94 Automatics and all '95-'98 (and '99 EJ25D) EJ Subarus used the same green label plastic JECS/AUTECS MAFs - only dif is whether they're Japan or USA-made. So, yeah - limited availability on your year. I'd check w/the used auto parts yards for one, too. And try Car-part.com. Lastly and this may not be a viable option, but do some research on swapping the ECU/ECM to a '92-'94 Legacy as the 5speed and Automatics used the same MAF. Per this pinout diagram the only diff is the 'barometric pressure sensor': https://www.surrealmirage.com/vrg3/ecupins/ But, IIRC, the IAC and injectors were also different on the '90-'91 model. But may still work w/the newer ECU? Just a (bad?) thought. For more old Legacy info check here: https://bbs.legacycentral.org/
