Could be a few things, if you pull the plug wires off the coil and there a little bit corroded and light green in color I would replace your coil. The easiest check is to check and see if the EGR valve and vacuum solenoid are working properly. Locate the EGR valve, It's about 6 to 8 inches from the throttle body towards the drivers side. It looks like a small stepped flying saucer about 3 inches in diameter with a vacuum line going to it. Get something like a golf "T" to fit into and plug the vacuum line once you have disconnected it. Drive the car to see if there is any improvement in driveability. If not, then there are more things to look at but those are the most common. I hope this info helps.

1991 Subaru Legacy 2.2L not Turbo "Idle" very

i would check the idle air control solenoid first. simply unplug it then remove the unit and inspect the air passage for any blockage and carbon buildup. Clean it if its dirty then test it out. If the IAC is good then you should look at the throttle position sensor.

Hi I have a 1991 Subaru Legacy GT Station Wagon, which I'm told has a transmission solenoid problem on the 4 wheel drive system, causing a vibrating noise when turning on full lock. I have since...

It is safe. the manufacturer would tell you to do it if it wasn't (unless it was toyota). any way it is better to run in two wheel than four. will save you money. it's less wear and tear on the system.

Wont start

try kicking your fuel tank and if your fuel pump is bad it may "kick start" so to speak your fuel pump, if nothin happens it may be the fuel pump, the lines may not have enough pressure, it may also be your filter just being a lil dirty and needing replaced

If your car is injected it maybe the crankshaft position sensor or the throttle position sensor. Get then tested or replace them.
