    Hey wats up guys? I hope all you guys had a great christmas with your families. I left to mexico to visit some family last week but wouldnt you know it the day before i left my car started going crazy before and i did some small diag with the little time I had. I narrowed it down to possibly being a bad ignition coil. I was wondering if anyone had a known good one laying around I could borrow for a couple days to eliminate that possibility. Any help would be great.

    I would also move the coil pack to another location and see if the trouble follows it.

    I tried that and it didnt move with it. So I changed to all new spark plugs and I still got the same misfire on cylinder 3. So im thinking injector but I not so sure on how possible it that those go bad on subarus. But I wanna try a good coil because I want to see if it might be a something in the wiring to the coil could be bad. And new coils are a lil up there in the $$.

    Why dont you swap the injector around and see if it follows?

    personally, I'd rather only touch the injector once...
