I wonder what it was that made them leave? The consistently improving unemployment numbers? The steadily rising economy? The the evidence that aggressive anti-US foreign dictatorships are begrudgingly reaquainting themselves with respect, moderation, and diplomacy on the international stage? Could it be the attempts to prevent the US from going down the same failed path the EU is stuck on in regards to immigration? Maybe it was the protecting and defending of the Constitution that pushed them over the edge?

I'm curious why you're leaving the tank unit, and even doing extra work to leave it. If you must leave it: shut off and lock out the breaker (or electrically disconnect entirely), then drain it, refilling with a good quality Bourbon as an antifreeze/preservative.

I think '01 and up were all the same, not sure. They're less susceptible to corrosion than the '99 & '00, but my '01 fell victim a couple years ago. Generally the FI light will at least flicker when the loom is acting up, sometimes dimly/quickly so it may not be obvious in daylight. When mine first started showing signs hitting the kill switch off-on fixed it so I figured it was the switch contacts, which can also act up. I assume there was a little bit of resistance in the switch adding to the growing resistance of the loom because the problems started coming back quickly, then got real bad. I checked the computer for fault codes and it had a bunch. Knowing that the loom is a common connection to all the sensors I finally cut into it and it was pretty bad. BTW, we're calling it the loom, harness, etc., I think the proper term is 'check connector' or something like that. All of the sensor grounds come together at that connector so when the resistance goes up from corrosion you can get several fault codes. Under the seat near the ECU is a two wire connector, you put a wire in it to connect those to each other and the FI light will flash the fault codes.

Well, they don`t . Number of turbo Subarus have been killed by owners mindlessly running against fuel cut. In port injection engines injection cycle does not necessarily happen when intake valve is opened. So you may get some fuel still in the intake track even when injector is not spraying. Lean condition and engine may go kaboom. In rotary engine all it takes is one detonation event to kill it.
