Question 03sti+ppp wheezy at 4.5 - 5.5k revs ... thoughts ?

I've done 42k and this week it's sucking air really loudly between 4.5k and 5.5k revs ... almost asthmatic

the power delivery isn't completely smooth either - although still quick.

and ... maybe i'm imagining things, but seems lumpy from cold start and more hesitant than usual at low speed pulling from standstill.

dealer time .... until then ... anyone got any ideas ?

mark.

i drove a dealer car a few days ago exactly the same - he thought it was normal, Mike Wood at PPP differs. - Has it had some junk fuel and needs to re-learn?

Let me know how you get on - I want an 03/04 sti ppp and this dealer one was cr*p - drove the X-Rds demo and it was ballistic...

OK - let me know what the dealer finds please as I wouldnt be interested in the STi PPP if they drive like that demonstrator!

If you get stuck mail Mike Wood at Prodrive
