hello chaps ,i bought my first scooby a while back but its losing power and judders alot in every gear .if you floor it the power can cut out around 4000rpm ,making you change gear.I bought it off an old bloke who has had it from new,its only got 40k on the clock and full subaru service history and is completly standard apart from a dump valve,so im hoping its nothing major.
my question is what could it be and wheres the best place in the northeast to get it fixed and to take for future mods.

would really appreciate some help because its doing my crust in

 

plugs, coil packs (if old than 97), ht leads if newer than 97, boost solenoid needs a clean, ecu in safe mode.

Is the engine check light on?

Could be many things unfortunatly.

What Year / Model of car ??
Coil Packs, Plugs, Plug Gaps, Over boost !!! Plug leads, (dependent on Year of car)

Could be many things

lol.. well at least we agreed!

 

its a classic uk 99 .where should i take it? subaru garage?

 

dose it judder when warmed up?

 

it does mate ,all the time ,the harder you drive it the more it judders and drives like ****.no power

 

maby a nackered flywheel?

 

plugs or more likely ht leads imho, check they are pushed fully home in the coilpack and on the plugs fully to start with.

Simon

 

Have you checked the power.. knackered alternator.. battery on the go..?

 

fuel pump? might be worth getting the fuel pressure tested.can cause engine to run lean which is not good! but a good place to start may well be the maf sensor.i believe they are known to be dodgy on that model.
