Default Bogging Down

Hi all, today i warmed the car up and drove it no probs the when at idle for only about a min or so trying to pull away it feels bogged down and is missing, if i build the revs up to 1500 - 2000 it pulls away ok and still flys with no missing. Its mainly when i stop then try to pull away.

I am using shell V power and a bottle of millers octane boost as well.

If i rev it under the bonnet i can hear a miss on the revs at 2000 rpm

Might change the coil packs x 4, its a wrx type-ra on a 94 L plate.

Thanks, John

Definitely sounds like a spark issue to me, and would as you said check the plugs and coil packs are ok first.

Cheers for the reply mate, when you say you resealed the intercooler do you mean the gasket underneath at the Y-pipe?
