Found the reason cylinder 2 on the Outback wasn’t firing.

Turns out the coil pack for the cylinder had gotten coated in mud and fried itself. One new coil later she’s back up and running.

Have the Outback challenging a Tomcat to a drag race to celebrate.

Wow. Glad it was an easy fix. Usually when I hear that a cylinder isn’t firing, I think $$.

Out of curiosity I looked up the coil module for my car to see what it costs. I was expecting it to be expensive because my car uses one part instead of a coil for each cylinder but it is apparently only $30 for an OEM module.

Glad to hear it was an easy fix. Dealer once gave me my car back with a zip tied coil pack. I know those clips are annoying but come on.

I’m beyond done with taking my car to the dealer for service. I’ve got a Subaru specialist with his own shop, dude’s always straight up, cares about his work, and can be reached on facebook messenger any time of day or night.

Yea this was back when I first got the car and didn’t know any better. Took very few bad experiences with Subaru dealers before I started wrenching on it myself.
