Any Ideas?

[mikeyjm26]

I have got a problem with my MY98. Sometimes, not always, when in any

gear from 2k to 3k revs the car really struggles to pull. Sounds as

though it is going to cut out, but it doesn't happen all the time.

Really strange as it doesn't happen all the time.

Your thoughts and ideas would really be appreciated.

Cheers

Mikey

Plugs or coil pack perhaps.

[mikeyjm26]

Thanks Dougster,

I had the plugs changed last August, so I don't think it could be them. Might be the coil pack. Is it easy to replace?

Thanks

Mine was the same - was also rough on a steady throttle below 2800rpm.

Turned out it was the O2 sensor that was knackered.

I have a spare O2 sensor if that turns out to be the problem.

[mikeyjm26]

Thanks for the replies guys. I know that there was a problems with the

lambda sensor and they had to replace part of the wire because the

emissions where to high. I don't know if that has anything to do with

it.

Dougster, how much for the O2 sensor?

Thanks again everyone

£30 notes if it the right one but it came off my MY97 so should be OK.

Good to see its sorted out, within a day?! [H]

Hope the car is going well apart from that Mikey, you decided to stick with it for a while??

Cheers,

Hi Grant,

I am in 2 minds. I have been looking at other Scooby's and if someone

came along at the right price I probably would sell. It's not that I

don't like the car, I absolutly love it, I just fancy a saloon. But I

know I will be gutted when I do sell it. Also can;t get enough of the

Subaru burble.

Cheers

Mikey.

You could always keep a couple of the bits for yourself if you were to sell... To be honest, I dont think you'd have a problem shifting it if you advertised it at the right price. []

If you were going for a Classic Saloon then you could always keep a few of the bits from the wagon... Let me know what sort of money you are thinking about, I'll have a wee ask around and see if anyone round here fancies it. [H]

Cheers,

Grant

Mickey....

 

Dont forget, i want my private plate back before you sell. []

[RS Grant]

Jesus... thought that would have been sorted out by now Johnny!! []

No wonder nobody waves at you in Edinburgh, without that plate, you are anonymous!! []

Cheers,

Grant

[mikeyjm26]

No probs Johnny, I wouldn't sell it before giving you the plate back.
