my94 wrx rips through the gears up to about 100 then it holds back doesnt sound like its missing ive just done the plugs and two of the coil packs but you seem to put u foot down and it dont go no where seams like its struggerling only just started to happen



any ideas anyone

lord vader

Turbo gasket?

Fuelling?(but im sure it would be like hitting a wall throwing you forward)

Check the Earthing (1st thing i would do)

Any gear or just 5th?

Boost problem/intercooler hair line crack?

raywrx

do u mean the earth strap from the engine how would that effect it

ithink its just 5th about 5000 rpm seams to get to there ok and then put you r foot to the floor and it dont go nowhere

the gears are really short on the imports so u get into 5th quite quick i seam to find

I had an earth wire of my car(200sx) and it felt a little like hitting fuel cut but not as severe.



It could be the limiter if not removed.



Im no car or scooby expert but i do know quite a few problems and how to solve them.

its only just started happenin the cars been 145 mph no problem before just seems like its running out power when it get to 5000 in 5th gear but pulls round to 7000 in the other gears

would you have to reset the ecu after fiting new coil packs as i have heard that the ecu works it way around problems to run your car to best it can and after fitting new ones would it recognise this

TURBO RAY

buy a evo or skyline lol mate
