Hello, I have a problem in my Subaru outback 2010, I put it on scanner there is
no codes, I checked the ignition coils there is no electricity, and the fuel pump
didn't work, the ignition switch and the starter are fine. I checked also all the
relays and fuses and no problem the cam sensor and crank sensors are well
and the timing belt. anyone now what could be the problem thanks.

No voltage into the coil, or at the spark plug leads? You may have a bad coilpack.
No voltage at the coil, by the way the engine sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't.

Dunno. I might look for a salvaged ECM and swap it out just to eliminate that possibility. Gives you a chance to see if a prior flood under the passenger carpet got into it too. You can DIY pretty easily, as no tools are required.
Well, I will replace the ECM, although I send it to an expert to check it. thank you
