Post MY06 WRX problem?

Has anybody experienced less than smooth acceleration from my06 wrx especially when cold?

Took it to dealer they can't find anything wrong, but it's still doing it, almost like a misfire?

Yep, the car warms up normally but i still get a jerky throttle response.

Although it's better when warm it still does it.

May be the "drive by wire" throttle system has something to do with your problem?
It's common on other makes so why not in our cars!

I get the same problem on my MY06 WRX, but only when the car is cold.
Like you say, the acceleration is jerky.

Once it's warmed up it's ok though - maybe you need to leave it a bit longer...?
