Any Ideas why it runs like crap

[ROAR]

Any Ideas why when i do an oil and oil filter change my car runs like crap

i fill the filter right to the top,make sure all the air is out

run it up and the bugger hesitates on acceleration

 

i've tried to do an ecu reset but still no joy

Not sure if it helps but it's always worth disconnecting the sensor and turning the engine over on the starter motor to ensure that the oil has reached all parts of the engine, then reattaching the sensor and firing up.

Not sure if this'll help heistation on acceleration tho. [:^)]

Have you put the CORRECT OIL in??

go to a GARAGE just to be safe!!!!

thanks for your suggestions

The oil in it is Castrol GTX Magnatec 10W40 as recommended by Dave at Gatwick Subaru it has also an oem filter

it hesitated like this for about a week or so when i last done the oil change and then it cleared itself

Dumb question I know, but you haven't overfilled it have you?

[ROAR]

no its just below the full mark.

When you re set the ECU it resetseverything it takes a while for the

ECU to relearn all your mods etc, hence the  while it checks

everything.

When I fitted a new battery a while ago the tick over went a bit t*ts-up for a few days but then cleared itself, which someone on here put down to the ecu resetting itself.
