Just bought a 1998 Legacy Outback from a lady who told me she could not longer drive a stick due to foot surgery. Car has been idle for about 2 months. She assured me there is nothing wrong with it. It misses both at idle and acceleration and check engine light starts flashing. I put in fuel injector cleaner 2 times Auto Zone scan says misfire on all 4 cylinders and EGR valve, but EGR seems OK. I have replace the fuel filter and crank sensor. Also, it did not want to take gas when I tried to fill the tank. Couldn't put more than 10 cents in before it tried to overflow. Did I get screwed?
