Help
Hi there everyone, my name is Linden n I own a 94 WRX. Im having a few problems at the mo n I was wondering if there was anyone that would be so kind as to go out with me n help diagnose my problem. Its had alot spent on it this year with replacing things that I think will stop it stuttering. Today it had a new lamba sensor fitted n it still stutters!! im tearing my hair out its really starting to annoy me.
I live in Glasshoughton Castleford, so if theres anyone who knows anything about engines n lives close n can help me I would much appreciate your help.
Thanks.

I just want help mate, ive been to loads of garages, had loads of stuff changed n now im starting to pull my hair out.
Where are these people situated? ive spent that much money recently I just need someone who knows wat their doing n can sort it out.

By "loads of garages" do you men reputable subaru specialists or local garages that deal with any number of types of car ??
Do you have a local subaru group that you can get advice from, have a look at the clubs section..

There's a subaru garage in Featherstone near me n my cars been there a few times but nothing has been solved.
The lamba sensor got replaced today at a side garage that got recommended to me by a friend. Drove off n it still stutters.
Things that ive had changed,
Spark plugs,
Coil packs,
Throttle position sensor,
Lamba sensor,
MAF sensor,
Exhaust system,
Oil filter,
Fuel filter,
Cam belt with pulleys n tensioners,
Water pump,
Oil changed.
Im running out of options. I put 100% belief that it would be the lamba sensor, so im really disappointed that its still stuttering.

Jesus that's a lot of parts.........mine stuttered when it had a boost pipe leak and the fuel / air ratio went pants 
Personally I'd go for someone with a good knowlege of ECU map / sensor stuff when on the move and logging looking for values that are out of range......... Try e-mailing someone who travels and see if he's going to be in your area (racedynamix, FB tuning, jolly green monster, enginemapper etc)
Did you PM Ronjeramy ?

It has thrown a few codes at me, 42, 23. But at the moment there are no codes coming up at all since the Throttle position sensor got fitted so thats stumped me a bit.
Ive just PM'd Ronjeramy.
Oh n its had an Engine temp sensor fitted also

Just looked at the MY of your car....doesn't have an OBDII port IIRC, sorry I misread the year.
I think you will have to find a local scooby specialist to help, hopefully Mike (Ronjeramy) or someone local could help.....I see you havn't done anything with the boost control solenoid.

There's a place at Hebden Bridge called "Pennine Subaru", I've never been but it's a bit Marmite allegedly, some people have had very good service and some people think that they are a bunch of clowns....
Darren has a place in Northallerton which I think is called DL services / motorsport and does work with Harvey on here. Apart from one instance regarding fitting an up-pipe I don't think I've heard a bad word about him.
The other place I had in mind was Sheffield Subaru Services which seems to be a favourite haunt of quite a few SN members and a search should show up their details.
I'm trying to think of any more local to you without travelling to places like API / Scoobyclinic as I think you need to find a place that knows the classic inside and out

I've tried nearly every tuner in the north at some stage and I've not been 100% happy with most of them. Zack at Precious Metal in Knottingley has been good and saved me a good sum of money once with a spot-on diagnosis. I've never heard anything bad about Richard Henry and he'll be my next port of call!
Could be fuel pump, let us know how you go on.

I've had a similar problem with mine and it turned out to be a loose connection to the fuel pump,for some reason it was worse when it was cold.
