Replying to: carnut114 (Feb 17, 2007 8:13 am) Having the same problem with a '93 legacy except in this case it is a bit more noticeable. The car idles ok, but when you try to give it gas it bogs down. If you play with the gas pedal it will rev up but if you put it in gear, forget it. We've swapped out the TPS, IAC, MAF, and the knock sensor. We've cleaned out the throttle body and the intake manifold. At this point, we're at a loss. We've also swapped out the computer to no avail. I know the injectors are firing but could they be clogged up beyond cleaning or might the fuel rails be an issue? Any further advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a 2000 legacy gt, I got it with about 130k on it and when I picked it up it ran like a million bucks. 4k later and I want to shoot it. It started acting up and I am lost at this point. It idles a little shaky sometimes, no problems when it is in park, it will rev as high as you wanna take it. Put it in drive and it will go fine for awhile, but whenever you punch it, it starts acting up. Bouncing back and forth, losing power. It sounds like the timing is way off, but I just tore it apart and the timing belt is right on. There is no engine light, so I am lost. I took the intake off and checked every sensor on it, cleaned all the carbon off everything. Installed a new fuel filter. Injector cleaner, high octane, damn near tryed everything. someone give me an idea here.

Replying to: paisan (Jul 01, 2007 7:21 pm) Turned out to be the ignition coil ($80 from any Subaru parts wholesaler) in my case, when it wasn't running smoothly that is.   I did the things paisan suggest in order, though. First a tune-up (plugs), then plug wires. Then ignition coil.   That last one did the trick. Turns out a chipmunk had chewed up my wires and the coil failed.
#15 of 26 93 2.2 Legacy Wagon has no power by edub763 Nov 08, 2008 (11:35 am)
I replaced and reset the timing belt, no codes show any problems. I also replaced the plugs, wires and coil, but still have no power when reaching inclines (hills). What else could the problem be?   Eric Replies to this message: xwesx (Nov 11, 2008 10:35 am) edub763 (Nov 12, 2008 10:49 am) xwesx (Nov 12, 2008 5:24 pm)

Replying to: edub763 (Nov 08, 2008 11:35 am) Dirty fuel injectors? Clogged vacuum system? When is the last time the PCV valve was replaced? Replies to this message: edub763 (Nov 12, 2008 10:49 am) xwesx (Nov 12, 2008 5:24 pm)
