May or may-not be. Recheck your timing belt. You may just be out of phase enough that the valve is not open at the right time, or closing at the right time. If you are 100% sure timing belt is in proper phase then you may have bent a valve. Good luck and have a good day.

Subaru EJ20 running rough after replacing snapped timing belt

I would suspect a bent valve or two when the belt snapped. Verify the belt installation is correct and the timing marks line up. Do a compression test. If a valve is bent, the head has to come off and the valve(s) replaced.

When does a 1998 Subaru Impreza with 60,000 miles need new timing belt?

Non-California vehicles: replace every 60,000 miles

Otherwise, it is just to be inspected at 60,000 and then again at 90-95,000 miles.

I just got a 1999 Subaru Impreza (Outback Sport) with 222,000 miles on it. It is in excellent condition for an "old" car. What grade of gasoline should I use?

First check for an owners manual(it will say), if there isn't one a lot times there will be a sticker on the inside of the gas lid saying what to use. However, unless to vehicle is turbo or is higher compression than stock, i am quite certain 87 octane will suffice.
