Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on July 14, 2021
I’ve got a subaru foreseter ’02 2.5L that I push kind of hard off road on New Zealand beaches.
I had a near dead battery recently so bought a new one but on replacing it I must have wiped the ECU because it has no clue how to run the engine now.
It runs (just) but is super rich, a strong smell of unburnt petrol and is in a constant state of almost stalling. If I blip the accelerator it will either kill the engine or possibly backfire/misfire.
Watch the video, it’s some pretty strange stuff

Here’s what I know is wrong with it:
And what I have tried:
Anyone seen anything like this and have ideas on what to do next?
Possibly a faulty spark plug, ignition lead to the plug, or a faulty ignition coil.
If you are not getting a spark at one of the plugs, you will get unburnt fuel coming out of the exhaust and it would be running like that on 3 cylinders.
Take the plugs out one at a time to find the one that looks wet with fuel. Then work back from there.
