So this morning I wake up and warm up my subie then it just shut off I tried restarting it but it would just putter at one point the gas pedal was all the way down and the RPM's were not going anywhere. Now it wont start at all...

Any ideas on what happened??

It's a 93 sedan loyal 5spd 2wd

Thanks in advance.

Has the timing belt ever been done? Do you get spark?

 

Remove the distribuotr cap and observe the rotor. Either (A): the set screw fell out and the rotor is not engaged with the shaft, or (B) Engine cranks, and rotor is not turning, because the timing belt is busted.

 

If it is a broken timing bely, it can be fixed easily, as long as you know the crank and cam rotation, as this engine is non-interference, which means no bent valves
