burty

98'impreza turbo engine prob.when accelarating hard engine pulls well for about 4-5 secs. then cuts out for 1/2 sec then goes again.If foot is kept hard down proccess just carries on.This happens at between 3000 and 5000 rpm after that doesn't feel too bad.When tootling about i can't fault it. Any ideas??

probably is your boostsolenoid dirty, you should try to clean the hoses to the turbo and wastegate. If this doesn't fix te problem you probably have an air leak. I think you can find plenty of topic's on the subject fuelcut
