Too bad someone couldn't unplug the O2 sensors for him and see if
that might not solve the problem.  It could be something else
though.  Have him surf the www.naioc.com site and see if they have
any answers.
Their message board is pretty good.  naioc stands for North American
Impreza Onwers Club.  Of course I'm assuming he has a laptop with him
and access to the internet.
