Angry Classic WRX

Guys,

I have a Jap Import impreza (which I have had for several years) and all of a sudden I am finding a major flat spot when i press the pedal for some reason.

It used to be pretty quick but I feel, someone on their push bike would give me a good run for my money...

Any ideas what is causing this or anything I should replace in order to get the performance back?

I am debating putting it into subaru to investigate but wanted to check if any of you guys have any suggestions as you have never failed me before!

Try an ecu reset and see if that does the trick... If you regain the lost performance, then you'll need to investigate what put the car in limp mode.

The thing is, i replaced the fuel pump recently, and i also replaced the plugs.

Redscoob, ecu - do you think this will do the trick and any advice on where to start!
