The cure (after much trouble with the dealer) was replacing the knock sensor.   Needless to say, I bought my 2005 Outback 3.0R from a different dealer.

Replying to: saedave (May 28, 2009 5:59 pm) Since I've already changed my nock sensor 2 weeks ago, I'm looking elsewhere... Did your "trouble dealer" do something else or did he tried something else before changing the knock? That could maybe help me troubleshooting the damn car...   Thanks Replies to this message: saedave (May 29, 2009 6:55 am)

I did it, but the proper way. Anyway, my hesitation problem begun before I changed my knock sensor, and I had a CEL saying the knock was out of range. I changed it, deleted the code, and it hasn't re-appeared during my Montreal-NY city - Montreal trip last week-end... So I am pretty sure that I installed it correctly, still looking for the problem though..! Replies to this message: xwesx (May 29, 2009 1:09 pm)

If you want to try it, you can easily do it by pulling the battery cable for a while to let the system backup power drain.
