At 127k you should be on your 3rd set of wires. Beyond that, the ignition coil or fuel pump, let's hope it's not the latter. Everything else is a cheap fix.

Replying to: mariann2 (Jun 08, 2009 7:06 pm) I'm a little late but... My '01 Forester was doing the same exact thing a couple of months ago. They replaced the O2 sensor and she was running like a charm again. hope this helps. BTW.... I needed head gaskets a few years ago. I noticed my fan was running more often than it should be, but the car was not overheating. I was told I needed new gaskets, but it was covered under warranty. Seems to be great ever since. I was very happy to see Subaru step up to solve this issue.
