1996 SUBARU LEGACY check engine

: Has the vehicle been run empty of fuel?
: Finish diagnostics operation, if the engine has no
abnormality.
: Go to next.
: Was the cause of misfire diagnosed when
the engine is running?
NOTE:
Ex. Remove spark plug cord, etc.
: Finish diagnostics operation, if the engine has no
abnormality.
: Repair connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:

10Z3
CHECK AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.
: Is there a fault in air intake system?
NOTE:
Check the following items:

Are there air leaks or air suction caused by loose or dis-
located nuts and bolts?

Are there cracks or any disconnection of hoses?
: Repair air intake system.
: Go to step10Z4.
