I have just bought an EJ15 engine for my subaru legacy and
its has no power in terms of when u engage gear 1 or 2 or 3
the movement is slow and
the morning without warming the engine it shuts down when u want to move,
also the petrol smell from it exost pipe is to much?

Always leery about used engines.

Need to verify timing belt, compression as a start

it may be a bad motor.
