Unhappy

My95wrx running aweful, totally flat no power, suspect its plugs, leads or coil pack, the car is lunpy, shaking etc, pulled 1 plug out and it was ok, the car was still sick, if a plug had gone wouldnt the car fail as it cant run on 2 cylinders if the bad one was still in the engine? please help im desperate, dont think its the maf, might it be a valve??

You need to get the car to someone who has the ecu reading equipment.

My car (same my95 wrex) Had this trouble last yr, took it to a local specialist who put it down to a few things one of which was the lambada sensor and idle valve being full of crap.

Cleaned them and car run alot smoother, however still had the car holding off boost. I'm afraid the only way i cured it was a new Ecu.

Had a very similar problem on my MY95 earlier in the year - turned out to be a lambda sensor failure.

This was replaced (not that cheap!) and all was fine again.

Get it seen to as soon as you can

Just a note, the specialist did say it could be my coil packs, however said no fault was showing so wassent sure.

Is there no one with a similier spec scoob you know??
Maybe you could try his ecu, eliminate 1 posibility.

Also my mate has a 94 wrex his coil packs went and it simply wouldnt run.
