now after owning my scoob for 2 days i noticed a problem,
its 100% standard MY00 Impreza GT (im in iceland if that matters)
when im driving it seems to be reciving different fuel flow.
I work at the Icelandic Subaru Dealership and bought the car from them,and i know of one similar problem with a MY00 car then they changed the ECU.
i just wanted to be sure if scoobynet folks knew what it was.

Can you explain what you mean by it seeming to have different fuel flow?

its feels like im pushing the fuel pedal differnt,but im not doing that.The Subaru service manager at my work says that Subaru says its the "caracter of the car" but like i said i just wanted to know if anyone knew.

Do you just get this when the car is cold and at around 2.5-3k rpm?

when the car is cold i can feel it really well but between 2000rpm-3500rpm it isnt as much.

Its a common fault with the ecu, we call it hesitation and there is only one real way around it, change the ecu to an older one
You need to get your hands on a AE800 or an AE801 ecu (your car has an AE802 fitted), this will cure the problem (or atleast make it less noticable).

They are 780, 781 and 782 in Europe equivalent to our 800, 801 or 802. The 780/800, 781/801 are the better ones, but they still hesitate when cold. They do make more power and torque than the AE782/802 though.

Forgot to say, you can fit 800/801 ECU in a European car - just put the circuit board in your left hand drive AE782 case.

well my car is still under full warranty (didnt know how to write that word) so what should i tell them? Could this be fixed without changing the ECU?

Get the dealer to sort it under warranty - if they can...
