nope all classics have the wires have a look on Scoobypedia | Trusted knowledge for everything Subaru | Scoobypedia / Scoobypedia (ECU section) for pictures they may be wrapped up if never been used before but the Select Monitor can be plugged in and the error codes read from that.

did the test, it flashed codes 24,isc valve and 45 pressure sensor. i have only owned the car for a short time, and has a apexi boost controller and noticed some vacum pipes not connected ie a part under boost solenoid, and thought it must be disconnect because of the boost controller,if one sensor is not connected will it affect a different sensor?thanks
