Hesitation, missfire? anything common?
Hi All,
I am getting a hesitation, bit like a missfire and then a little surge etc. Only just started over the last couple of days. Anything thats common to cause it? 2.5 STI 2006 |
I had the same and it is a misfire. Changed the plugs as I had a remap due anyway and the exhaust up pipe was cracked. Could also be the MAF, I had that changed to.
|
Hi,
I am looking at the plugs this weekend. Up pipe I can check. Any way of checking the MAF without just fitting a new one? |

Will try that tonight.
what if the car doesnt stall, faulty etc? |
Different car I know, but I had a similar issue on my old MY99 UK scoob a while back.
Ended up being a combination of MAF, lambda sensor and Idle Control Valve. Just wear and tear. All three were replaced and the problem buggered off. Probably was more the MAF and lambda sensor though. That would be my first port of call anywho :thumb: |
Have you seen the price of a MAF lol, for my 55 reg BMW it was £20, Subaru is £100 lol
|
couldnt be from wear and tear if its only an 06 sti
|
Any engine light ?
What filter was it you fitted recently ? is it sitting flush ? |
The filter is a K&N and was in the car when I got a few months ago and not touched and no, no warnning lights.
