have you checked your ecu for error codes.

Coil packs, spark plugs etc etc.

If you did get fault code 54 it is - Choke Control System

The Jap WRX does not have a TPS. This code is not applicable. More likely to be plugs or coils. Try plugs first and gap them perfectly.

exellent guys got plugs n leads havnt changed them yet but see if it was the 1 of the coils would it not be missing all the time it just seems to jerk when you hold it at a steady speed but it clears when you give it throttle?

you can get all sorts of weird codes when something goes wrong, the ecu is not infalliable, it does sound to me like it could be to do with plugs and coils, i would have said thats your first step, then see how you go from there. You could also chuck some injector cleaner through it too, wouldnt hurt.

they might well be if they are the same age, but i would get the right ones, there are plenty on ebay for about 50 quid each, new, which is not a bad price, or you could risk it like i did and get 3 second hand ones for 50 quid, 2 dont work!!!
