Could be a number of things. Best option would be to get it checked out by a local specialist. My money would be on the lambda sensor. As that's an expensive part, even more need to get the problem properly diagnosed first.

Could be one of a number of things best bet is to get it hooked up to a Subaru Select Monitor which should flag up a fault code.
