engine misfire
I have a 1999 Turbo 2000 that has developed a misfire/cutting out 
that comes and goes. It is between 1500 and 4000rpm and is not always there. If I keep my foot down and once the revs go past 4000 it clears. The misfire is all cylinders together, but only very briefly when under load. It does not backfire. The starting and behaviour at idle is fine. The car is totally standard. Using V-power fuel.
Any ideas please?
cheers

Just had the car 2 weeks was running great, the misfire was more like a hesitation very subtle and did not really notice or worry then. I routinely had plugs, leads and Mobil 1 Oil changed at a garage, I supplied the oil, leads (halfords) and NGK plugs. The car was still OK after this, but 3 days later the problem become more obvious. Starting and idle is still OK.
Will halfords leads be any good?
I get a 'check engine' light when the ignition is on, but it goes once it has started I have no warning lights at all. Don't have the kit to do fault codes. I would have to take it to Subaru Ashburton for any diagnostics.

I connected the green connectors, and then turned on and it whirred and realay noises. Engine check light was on. Turned off, and then connected the blacks. Turned on and the check light flashed slowly and evenly. Have I got it right to assume no fault?
