I have just drove my sti 7 import up the motorway and there seems to be no power, in 5th and 6th gear especially, no acceleration whatsoever, the car is shuddering on idle, if i drive the car in low gears and get the revs over 4000 it seems fairly ok, however it takes a fair bit of throttle to get the car to rev upto 4000. the exhaust note has gone alot louder and pops every so often. Does the sti7 have a seperate coil pack for each plug, could it be this whats the easiest way to check the plugs as i cant even see them. please reply quickly as im at the job now, cheers.

Sounds spark related

The unburnt fuel causing the pops

check the spark plugs / leads

Does it boost mate ?

sounds like the same problem I had, is there any noticable smoke out of the back? turned out for me to be the intercooler hose had blown off, causing the air sensors to massively over fuel = pops and bangs and very poor hesitation.

Just a thought and by far the cheapest fix... I hope thats what happened to you

it does boost when i finally get it up above 3-4 k revs, cant see any hoses off.
