Question

My MY01 WRX has had an intermittent misfire from around 500 miles. The car has now down 2500 miles and has been at the local dealer four times to no avail. New spark plugs have been fitted under warranty and this didn't help. The problem doesn't seem to occur at any particular time, fairly random in its nature. Car also seems to be down in power, lacking torque. Will only pull 120mph top speed! Any ideas/ suggestions much appreciated!

Re you sure that it's an intermittant problem, surely it should do loads more than 120!
