(1) Ensure that air cleaner element is free from
clogging,  ignition timing is correct, spark plugs
are in good condition, and that  hoses are con-
nected properly.
(2) Ensure that malfunction indicator light
(CHECK ENGINE light) does  not illuminate.

2) Warm-up the engine.
3) Stop the engine, and turn ignition switch to OFF.

(1) Insert the cartridge to SUBARU SELECT
MONITOR.
(2) Connect SUBARU SELECT MONITOR to
the data link connector.

(3) Turn ignition switch to ON, and SUBARU
SELECT MONITOR switch to ON.

fully read its operation manual.
• This ignition system provides simultaneous igni-
tion for #1 and  #2 plugs. It must be noted that some
tachometers may register twice  that of actual en-
gine speed.
5) Check idle speed when unloaded. (With head-
lights, heater fan,  rear defroster, radiator fan, air
