Good deal! Thank you for saving me some time searching.

IMHO, time spent getting familiar with the service manual pays back huge dividends when actually used for troubleshooting. There's a boatload of good stuff in there but it can be a little tricky to find. Good luck.

Ok, so I figured it out my starting issue, and Having the car apart for almost 2 years, I had a slight oversight, and with the help of another member on here, I figured out what that over sight was. I was tracing wires from the fuse box, and got to the point of the starter again. It was back to taking the ground off the starter, which going by my findings and what others said, it made total since. Then I was back at the question of, "So, where does it go then?" I suddenly remembered a little bracket on my work bench that I couldn't figure out where it went, and then I remembered. That bracket is what the ground cable connects to, which then connects to the starter via the transmission bolt... Yeah, I felt like a total dumbass, but the car cranks up like normal now, and it starts, but then dies a couple of seconds later. I some codes P0300 multiple cylinder misfire, P0137 02 Sensor voltage, P0108 MAP Circut high, P2096 post cat too lean, P1604 multiple non-starts (obviously), and B14A1 Air Con (don't care), but the first 4 I've started looking into to see where my issue may be.

Well, you're making progress ……… just look around your garage for other things you left out …….

Okay, so I thought I would come back and share my story. With the help of another member on here, we narrowed my issue down to the timing, and I was 180 degrees off on the cam timing, so everything turned normal and free, just not in the right position to fire properly. Took the damn timing cover back off, re-adjusted the timing, and it fired right up. So, to anyone else who rebuilds there own motor I would suggest following the instructions here, https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...87902-5448.pdf , as they were much more detailed than the Subaru manual. Thanks everyone for the help and advice

Reminds me of the time back-in-the-old Army motor pool. I was the Battalion Motor Officer (among other things) and the maintenance crew had just worked on the Battalion S-4's 3/4 ton truck.

After they put it back together, it wouldn't start … not even close to starting. The S-4 was pissed. Finally, the old, crusty, motor sergeant went over watched them try to start it and barked at them … you dumb asses put the distributor back in backwards (180 degrees off). Yes, it will go into the slot two ways .. the right way and the wrong way.

They turned it around and the truck started right up.

Old sergeants are smart …
