Rule of thumb is Compression , Fuel, Ignition.
Check compression with a compression tester in the spark plug holes.
Make sure fuel is getting in to your motor ( when you remove the plugs check to see if they are wet , too much fuel , or burnt, not enough fuel )
Ignition: With the plugs out, connect a sparkplug to the plug lead earthing the base of the plug, wind the motor over. You should see a spark jump across the gap at the base of the sparkplug.
Once you find which bit isn't working, find out why.
Happy hunting

Is a rear diff from a 1997 subaru legacy wagen with a 2.2l inter changeable with a 1997 subaru legacy outback with a 2.5l ?

the only way you can do this is if you can identify the gear ratios from both cars with the transmission codes found on the strut tower plate.
see this list to check for matches, read it carefully its a ton of info

Can you switch a rear diff from a 1997 subaru legacy wagen with a 2.2l inter changeable with a 1997 subaru legacy outback with a 2.5l ?

the biggest draw back that you will have to check first is the ratio of the diffs you want to change. If they are not the same but will fit then you will destroy the 3rd diff in the transmission from excessive use.
