Took me one hour to take apart and fix. The problem WAS the belt being one tooth off on one side. The timing marks on the belt are wrong. Also - seems the information in the OEM factory service manual is wrong - but since I don't have one myself - I'm going by what others are saying.
I went to three Subaru-only repair forums. The info I got from all three, supposedly from factory service manuals - was and is wrong.
I found the marks on the original belt - counted the teeth, remarked the new belt with an ink-writer and put it back in. Runs great. Very smooth again, and no more "check engine" light.
This is proof that somehow, the OBII system does have a way of sensing poor combustion on just two cylinders caused only by incorrect valve timing - and callig it "misfires."
Took me one hour to fix, but 2-3 hours of seacrhing for info on the Net. Subaru has a Wehsite with timing belt install info for a 2001 2.2 SOHC engine and that tooth count for that engine is different then my 2.5. I'm wondering if that's where this confusion comes from.

Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
