I Have a 97 GT 5-sp
i believe it has a bad ecu, cause it wont fire inj. 1
will a 97 legacy outback ecu work for it?
need to knoww asap

I am pretty sure they will work as long as they both have the same cylinder heads. (SOHC/DOHC)

Your engine might not be running bad. The new ECU may have different pin outs. Do you have a check engine light?

The ecu is 100% conpatable. The 2.2L ecu's of that year will even run 2.5s and vice versa.

Thats some good info.
I do know that the SOHC ecu won't work on a DOHC ecu. But I never knew a 2.2 and 2.5 ecu were the same.

They are not dead on the same, obviously the fueling and such is slightly differant, redline is different 2.2=6,200 and 2.5=6,500 The 2.5 had EGR and the 2.2 in a manual impreza does not. So if you run the 2.5 ecu on a 2.2 it will throw the EGR code. But either ECU will run either engine successfully.
