Good evening guys, this is my first subaru after being a blue oval fan for many years my mate has persuaded me to buy an impreza. After a couple of months of looking i purchased a 1997 classic type r from N Ireland after long conversation with the owner and Ali Burrows who had looked after the car, the car has been on here before under the username Barry White R? i got the car on friday and drove it from the airport to larne - ferry to cairnryan and all the way back to kelso in the Scottish borders 3 1/2 motoring bliss! until today 3 mile outside kelso the car decided to cough and splutter and then stop (not a happy chappy) quick phone call to my mate to come help by the time he had arrived the car had started but was idling like i was wanting to run on 3 cylinders we reckon it might be the ignition coil? has anyone experienced this before? any help would be great

many thanks

I havent experienced it, but ignition coil would be a favourite on that age of car. I would go for that first. Especially as it was all right then had a long run.

Others could be cam or crank sensor.

You might get better response in Scooby General as it seems bit quiet in here.

Cheers

cheers beastie, further investigations proved that it was a faulty MAF sensor luckily my mate had a spare took it for a long run upto perth and back no probs to report now apart from the wife has a sore neck from me giving it some lol
