PURCHASED CAR AUGUST 20TH. AUGUST 24TH, 2013 ON THE WAY BACK FROM PA ON 80 EAST MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS CAM POSITION TIMING OVER ADVANCE OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE B1 AND B2. CODE WAS P0011 AND P0021. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2013 THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO SUBARU WORLD OF NEWTON TO BE FIXED. NEEDED NEW CAM SPROCKETS AND TIMING BELT, ALONG WITH THE TIMING BELT THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER WAS CHANGED AND A SMALL OIL LEAK WAS PLUGGED WITH AN OIL CHANGE. THAT ALL CAME OUT TO AROUND 1,500 AND THAT WAS AFTER NEGOTIATING. MONDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2013 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WITH IT HAD ROUGH IDLING. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2013 I HAD THE CODE READ AND THE CODE P0301 CAME UP WHICH WAS A CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE. THE CODE WAS RESET TO SEE IF IT WOULD REOCCUR AND TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2013 THE CHECK ENGINE CAME BACK ON WITH THE SAME CODE. I THEN PLANNED ON GOING TO SUBARU WORLD OF NEWTON ON SATURDAY THE 28TH. ON FRIDAY THE 27TH I WAS DRIVING TO THE MALL IN ROCKAWAY, NJ 20 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE AND I STARTED TO FEEL POWER LOSS. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE MALL THE POWER LOSS CONTINUED AND ABOUT 30 SECONDS FROM THE SPARTA EXIT MY ENGINE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING SPRUNG LOOSE AND MY ENGINE CUT OFF AND THE CAR SHUT OFF, WITH NO POWER STEERING I HAD TO GET ACROSS THE LANES TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. TODAY SEPTEMBER 30TH THE CAR IS SITTING AT SUBARU BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE 1-2,000$ AND APPROXIMATE COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR IS 5-7,000$, TOTAL IS 6-9,000$. *TR
