This really sounds like a vacuum hose got knocked loose. The oil light is not a concern, as you are idling very slowly.... Look for loose, cracked, dislodged hoses and any intake leaks.

If it has one,it will be at the bottom,engine side,could be in a super tight spot to get to,you can remove hose at bottom of radiator to empty radiator,will be a lot quicker.

Most common reason for no start cold with a lack of fuel is the fuel pump relay or the check valve in the pump.The fuel line should have some pressure it it after sitting overnight. If not, the check valve in the pump may have let fuel flow back into the tank. It would take a few minutes of cranking to get it started.Also, if the fuel pump relay is not working, the pump would not get power until the engine has oil pressure.

BE SURE TO DISCONECT THE BATTERY. the starter is on the rear of the engine on the drivers side. not hard to get to. i removed my starter because it kept running and would not stop. i took it apart and cleaned and lubed it and it is still working today.

make sure that there is no air in the system as air locks make them over heat

did you replace the upper strut mounts? it is a good idea to get new ones when you do the struts.

The engine and the automatic transmission in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems.

I'm sorry you spent that money if this was the original code.The code means one of the O2 sensors has a faulty heater or the power circuit for the heater is bad. The sensor is not heating up as fast as it should. Since you have replaced the sensor you would need to check the power circuit for the heater.P0037 SUBARU Description Oxygen Sensors (O2S) or Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) need to reach a minimum operating temperature of 750 degrees F to produce an accurate voltage signal. The faster the heated oxygen sensor reaches that temperature the faster the sensor will start sending an accurate signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).In order to achieve the require temperature, a heater element is included inside the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM controls the heated oxygen sensor heater element based on signals from the engine coolant temperature and engine load. The ECM controls the heater element circuit by allowing current flow to ground.The ECM monitors the voltage signal received through the heater element circuit and determines the state of the circuit by comparing the voltage detected with the factory specifications.

How To Install Replace Change Taillight and Bulb 2000-04 Subaru Outback

yes it will its really tight you might have to take the motor mounts loose and jack the motor up a couple inches and it will come out

with key on ck dlc connector for power and ground if ok ecm will have to be replaced.

As with any no-start issue, you will need to figure out if it is fuel or spark related to proceed.
