unplug the crank sensor which is located under the alternator to get the oil pressure up just to be sure, has to be crank not cam as avcs cars still start and run when the cam sensor is unplugged

If it were a Napier Deltic, then you should hand crank the engine a few revolutions first to ensure no hydrolocking from leaky gaskets or injectors.
But this is not a 1960's train engine. Its five year old Subaru
If it takes time to regain oil pressure you'll have a problem no matter how long its stood for ( for example, a cracked oil pickup tube sucking air).

PLease don't!!!!! As we all know Impreza engines are completely different and are made from antique Italian glass & will shatter with the slightest stress.
Just for my info can those people who think 2-3 weeks is too long to leave a car let me know what the safe limit is? Also does this apply to all cars?
