Default Waking up in the morning

Hi guys,

My car started up with less than its usual enthusiasm on Friday and now every time I fire it up from cold it splutters and struggles to get running on all four cylinders.

It keeps 'bogging down' for the first few miles of a trip and occasionally tries to stall then struggles to build revs.

Once it's up to temperature it runs perfectly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks - are they on the same place as the later model Imprezas? That's the only one I've got a manual for.

Where is good to pick one up? Camskill or somewhere like that?

im in the process of doing mine, removed it,now need to find a new one LOL,the sensore is removed with a 19mm spanner, if you follow the top rad hose into the engine, its on the inlet manifold,theres 2,the one with 1 wire in it is the temp gauge,the other has a plug on it and a 19mm nut to remove it, you`ll prob need to remove the air box/air intake pipe and a fe wother pipes,as i did, to get good access to it

that was on a 95 wrx
