Big Hesitation at 4K revs... 02 WRX.... any ideas ?
I've noticed over the last week or so that at 4K revs, the car seems to hesitate. It pulls hard to 4, seems to struggle to 5, and then picks up again.
Does anyone have any ideas ? Passengers have said they can't feel anything, so it's not a major drop in performance, but I know it's not right.
It's an 02 wrx, always run on super unleaded
Cheers
Darren

Mine was lifting off around that area as well, I have an STi though.
What fuel have you put in it. I think mine was caused by normal unleaded being put in it.
Also, I found that by blasting it over and over it seemed to clear, it was only the first few blasts.

The boost pressure didn't seem to drop although last night it seemed very reduced. My passenger keeps saying he can't feel a thing, and it was very minimal last night... was about 2 degrees though and running well in general. I'll keep an eye on it !

I took it to the garage and they plugged in the monitoring machine whilst the guy booted the motor I watched it on my lap. I was getting up to 10 something on the boost, which he said was normal.
Perhaps a MAF unplugging needs to be done.
I have searched, can someone tell me exactly where this plug is on an STI '03 plate car?

Sorry for the Delay.... I finally got around to pulling the sensor, as I had some daylight today.... and it stalled straight away. I guess this means it isn't that. However.. I now have the engine light on permanently. Any ideas ?
I turned the engine off and left it a few seconds, but even when I restarted it, the engine light now stays on...... is this something I need to get subaru to rectify ?
I have a secs monitor, adn it's showing no errors/events at all
Cheers
