Pickup coil ?

[LaMEY]

My Subaru 4wd acted as if I just shut off the key. I got juice to the
distributer but not out of it. I'm not a mechanic, But it seems the pickup
coil is the problem. This thing new is like $400...Anyone know where to get
a used one? Any ideas what else to look at? I need help here. I'm dead in
the water.

Thanks

First state what model/year you have. My guess, actually two, is somethin
from the 80s and the problem is a broken timing belt. Remove distributo
cap and crank engine. If the rotor remains stationary then there is th
problem.

Still dead in the water or made some progress?

Still dead, can't find the part cheap enough.
