Interesting,MR_Loyale. Both of mine work this way. If I take off the intake, they die but not if I take off the connector on the back of the Sensor. THanks. I won't rely on it but it worked for me this time.

Thanks for your input all of you. Problem has been solved and I learned a bit about the loyale that I didn't know before. 1) With the green test connectors connected and the ignition on, the fuel pump recycles. No need to install jumpers or pull ignition relay to prove ignition is OK.. 2) If the Mass Flow Sensor is disconnected at the Sensor and the sensor is faulty, the car will still run. Reconnect and car will stall. So the problem was this sensor which had a lot of oil in the filter and the intake and unfortunately the car was smoking like crazy. Pulled plugs. Compression check - # 3 cylinder no compression. Conclusion: Rings no 3 cylinder gone resulting in blow back contaminating the mass flow sensor shutting the car down in run but would still start momentarily. So I will be doing a block swap with another engine I have in the next couple weeks and we should be good to go for another round! Thanks again for your input.

Won't run with coil+ to batt+.

THis is a new problem for sure. Only battery replacement recently. About 3 months ago, timing belts replaced due to seized damper (tensioner). Car dies as soon as the ignition is moved from start to run position. No sputtering. When problem first started, it seemed to lack power on acceleration on low RPMs and we attributed that to the dead battery? Will test voltage at the fuel pump in run position. Pump works fine in the start position with the clutch released, but will check in run. I've assumed that the ignition switch is OK because we have everything else working in run including power to the coil. Thanks for your suggestions.

Car will not run with the gas pedal down and we do have power to the coil when ignition is in the run position. Seems like its getting gas to start and then in run position shuts down. Thanks Paul

My 1992 Subaru loyale will start but not continue to run as soon as the ignition is in the run position. Has gas, new battery. No problem codes on ECU. Where should I look next?

My 1992 subaru loyale broke timing belt due to tensioner seizing. Belts replaced with marks on crankshaft pulley 180 or opposite with flywheel set at middle mark. Car would not start. Has spark and TDC and distributor seem fine. Has gas. Any suggestions?
