    For some reason I did not see the Subaru Legacy when I answered the question. I'm sorry you have spent so much money trying to get the problem fixed. This website may not be much help since we are not there in person.
    If the code is 303 it means cylinder 3 is not producing power. It does not give much info as to what to test. So the mechanic should check the three main parts, spark, fuel and compression. The computer and MAF sensor were probably a waste of money.
    Someone would need to check for spark, fuel delivery, and normal compression and I doubt that has been done given your story.

    So you may need to go to a different shop and start over with the basic tests. If you got a guarantee from the first shop, they should be required to fix the problem without you spending any more money, and perhaps giving you a sizable refund too.

    It could be something as simple as a wiring problem where power is not getting to a coil or injector.

Car sputtering badly. Codes P303 n P102 show on diagnostics and have replaced both parts associated with these codes,PLUS, new fuel filter, engine still sputtering badly.

Hi,

I hope I can help with this. This could mean the engine spark plugs or plug is the issue. Also check the exhaust pipe. White smoke indicates a coolant issue. Check your coolant reservoir. Black smoke indicates a Fuel issue. Blue is an oil issue. Also, speaking of your spark plugs there very well could be a misfire.

the code P303 could be cylinder 3 misfire
P102 the mass air flow sensor which is on the air filter cover. It's an electrical part and is sensor. Please check these and let me know.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/laura_08254539050d64db

P0303 p0304

You'll have to get someone to check the spark and injector on cylinders 3 and 4.
Code 303 is for loss of power on cylinder 3 and code 304 is the same for cylinder 4. The most common causes are lack of spark or fuel.
Once the problems are fixed the codes will need to be erased with a scanner or code reader.

Cylinder 1 misfire on my subaru!!

What you should check first is the spark plug for the #1 cylinder and see if there is a white film on it this would be a sign of a coolant leak which would cause a problem with the O2 sensor
