New plugs/leads... No change
Price up a oem air flow meter through Subaru... Over $1000 for a 98 WRX afm!!!!! What!
Picked up a second handy from a import wrecker, $150 better!

Touch wood, but it's running better. It got me inspired to dust my dash/whole interior. Put a dash mat on for even more sleeper appeal.
But the light in my little clock went out during this whole ordeal. I think I'll live with out it
