It's catastrophic to me when it leaves me stranded somewhere;     be
it a burnt up ignition rotor or a hole in the block.  Having said
that, I sense a definition of the word coming shortly......
meanwhile, I'll put the cheapest fixes into place first.  I have two
spare FPR's  and a wrench to R&R it

The van has run on the 10-20PSI  fuel pressure for some months
now(assuming the sending unit and wiring are still good(VDO gauge and
sender)   It started evenly before this hassle and the cylinder PSI
differential   was done more or less cold, so it may be a bit off,
but that test was done strictly to see if I had one or more cylinders
at zero.    I have a hollow cat to swap out and see if that is the
issue and new SS bolts to snug things up.   I'll check
the   connections to the MAP sensor and the TPS, but the Haltech
manual doesn't have a great deal of troubleshooting info     If
there's something wrong with the Haltech, I'll likely switch brands
and get something ore modern that doesn't run off a DOS operating
system.   I'd have to research the Subie list and see what those
folks like, since eventually there will be a Subie in the back
anyway.  If the Hall sensor was toast, it wouldn't even start, right?

MMMV
