Impreza fault code & potential issues help
So to recap, the symptoms are rough running and unburnt fuel.
Fuel is going into the cylinder but not igniting:
No spark
Weak spark
Timing wrong so spark firing at wrong interval
Weak compression
If all the above is fine:
Too much fuel due to air leak causing the ECU to over compensate
Or faulty injectors/seals
Could be a combination of any of the above.
Alternatively there is a problem with the ECU or a problem with the communication between the ECU and engine/sensors.

Obviously some of this is verbal confirmation etc so its hard to know the extent of testing etc.
If it's had a rebuild obviously it's not been screwed together with holes in pistons etc. That car is running on 3 they won't run on 1 they will run on 2 well sort of
very little wrong with that car I'm pretty sure an hour would diagnose it.
Firing order.
3 4
1 2
That's on the coil and leads to corresponding plugs on engine.
Yes if belt was on wrong it wouldn't run right obviously
