Timing Issue
I had the same problem on my 2000 Subaru Outback. I recently swapped engines with a 2001. It is still a 2.5 and everything else looked like it matched up, but we were only getting spark on cylinders 1 and 2. The issue is with the timing system. There are two separate crank sensors that tell the computer when to send a spark and what cylinder to send it to. One of the sensors is located right in front in the middle, right underneath the alternator. This sensor reads bumps on top middle gear that the timing belt runs on (crank gear). This crank gear between some models is different. Some models have multiple bumps running almost all the way around the gear while others only have a few. If you have the wrong type of gear, the computer starts freaking out because it is receiving seemingly incorrect information. There is also another crank sensor on the front driver's side that reads the cam gear over there. This gear also can have a different amount of metal bumps on the back of it that tell the engine when to send a spark.
How to Fix: This is really easy to fix if you still have the old engine. All you need to do is swap out the two gears from your new engine with the two gears from your old engine that your computer is used to reading. Then the sensors will read everything correctly for your specific computer to understand. If everything is opened up. (cover off timing system) This will take you about 15 to 30 minutes to fix.
Hints and Tips: Make sure to loosen the driver's side gear before you take the timing belt off or it will spin freely. I recommend cranking the engine over by hand until you see an opening in the flex plate in the little window on the back of the engine. Then stick a skinny, long piece of metal into that window and the hole in the flex plate to keep the engine locked in place. (I used a 3/8 long socket extension) Then you will be able to loosen the cam gear easily without the gear spinning freely. Once you have it loose, you can go ahead and remove the timing belt. Now you can replace the cam gear from you new engine with the one from you old engine. The middle gear is much easier to remove. It slides straight off if you use a screwdriver to pry it out from behind. It may need a little bit of WD-40 or PB Blaster (my preference) to loosen it up. Then just make sure to line up the timing belt correctly, and put everything back together. Here is link to a video explaining how to correctly put on a timing belt.
And heres the video on what I will be doing tomorrow.
