2009 Outback Stumbles at idle & misfire codes


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a 2009 Outback 2.5L with a bad engine knock for a low price. I ended up installing a used 2.5 longblock from a 2008 Legacy. Now that it is together and running I am having troubles with a "stumbeling at idle" issue and running rough at low speeds on my 09. However when I reset the computer the 4 codes I continually get are a missfire on each of the four cylinders. Have you guys seen this before? BTW I purchased the car as a fixer and just put a used 100,000 mile longblock (longblock only) in the car since the old one was a knocker. Did I miss something? Should I have changed out the cam and crank gears? I do not have history on the car prior to purchase and I don't really remember a stumbling when moving it in the driveway prior to engine swap. The misfire codes seem to appear after a little bit of idle or stop and go driving. Runs great at hwy speeds and does not stumble or stall while driving on interstate. Just at stop signs and such.
