GC8 MAF wires - soldered, now broken?

My GC8 has started missing and hopping like a kangaroo when coming on boost. I have to gear down and the car basically limps along. In my infinite wisdom I decided to pull out the MAF sensor to give...

Given these idle issues never seem to get resolved, I thought I should post the outcome.

As mentioned previously, I went ahead and pulled the crank pulley and checked the timing. The timing looked...

That is good to know. It makes infinite sense when I think about it. Good to see someone was thinking when they conceived the little makers.

I checked the belt a ton of times before I bolted it back together. Turned it over by hand a bunch. Figured how to get it exactly lined up when the tensioner is on. Took me the best part of 2 full...

I just connected the black to black and I get a constant "Check Engine" flashing light. No code, just constantly slowly flashes.

That is strange. The history on the car makes no mention of any engine transplant. I also took it to the same service center (as the previous 2 owners - had a full service history) for many years (it...

I recently purchased a Dayco timing belt kit for my Feb 98 WRX. The car is a GC8K. The Dayco kit (KTBA074HP) has a totally different timing belt tensioner and a larger pulley than on my car. The kit...
