Did you check for codes with your rough running engine? -

CEL Old OBDI but the codes can be read, flashing CEL with the black connector connected. -
While it's a bit of work, you may want to drop the headliner. That will give you good access to the drain hoses. Far outside corners are where the single sunroof drains are. I'm not sure on the double. If you have never removed all the plastic around the windows to drop the headliner, a Self-serve junk yard is a great place to learn!

I see you have wood blocks to spread the weight across the trans pan, but even with that it's possible to dent the pan. It only take a little to restrict the flow of fluid into the pickup. Yes the trans are heavy as heck! I've always had to remove the trans from the jack and then roll it over a bit to get it to slide out from under the car on jack stands. Same going back in. It's a heavy lift under the car to get the trans up onto the jack pad. Sends you to the Doctor to get the back fixed. 1+ on GD last comment!

Good call on the high cold idle! -
Record them, clear them and see what returns. That's a long list. How long has the CEL been on? Plugs you need to put the socket in the hole, connect a 3" extension and the ratchet. Some spots you can get a universial joint and a 3 & 6 inch extension on to get the plug out and back in. Not a good design for sure. NGK plugs for sure. I go copper core and NGK wires as well.

I put about 20oz in it and it's cooling well. The compressor was locked up, belt broken and idler adjuster broken. I had to grab a compressor from the yard $45. I had the other parts. New Subaru o-rings and a charge and it working well. PA car, lots of rust. I can hear the rear wheel bearing starting to to. She is an Air Force Cadet in her Senior year. I suggested a nice rust free CO Subaru before she transfers.

Transmission shop pulled P2760 they said indicated 2nd pulley sensor. Of course it was driving fine while there. More research I think. Good info. I tried to upload the file but it was to large.
