Do you know how they discovered it was the MAF then...? I'm thinking of biting the bullet and booking mine into the local Subaru dealers..... More expense!!

Hi Marc - sounds fairly similar to my problem. Did you test the ECU with the 2 black plugs under the dash? If so did they not show a fault with the MAF...?

Well changed the plugs and performed an ECU reset - it's still no better. The miss is noticeable when the car is stationary now too...? Think I'll just pull my hair out.... it'll save it falling out through stress!

Has the gearbox got a turbo....... innit pmsl

Hi guys - thanks for your suggestions. I know it isn't the plug leads as I've changed those. Have just bought some new plugs which I'll be fitting tomorrow. The car has really bad hesitation on acceleration. This is happening almost all of the time and in every gear about 2000-3000rpm. Seems to be worse in the lower gears (ie 1st and 2nd). Unfortunately I don't have a boost gauge so couldn't tell you the boost pressure. How can I tell if it's an overboost problem? The only mods on the car are a stainless back-box, dump valve and panel filter. Cheers Gary

Been for a drive - the misfire seems to start as the turbo spins up. Can anyone help?

Hi all - I've eventually got my Scoob back on the road after over 2 months! One full rebuild later, I'm glad to be back behind the wheel. I've done 75 miles of the 1000 I need to run it in, but the car started with an awful misfire. Originally this was only when the car was cold and somewhere between 2000-3000rpm, as soon as it had warmed up after a mile or so everything was fine. The misfire now appears to be there even when the engine is warm now. Has anyone got any ideas what might be causing this - as I am worried sick.....

Holy cr@p - that looks fast!

Mine pops and bangs well - I'd be worried if it didn't....!!!

And there is still talk of a hose-pipe ban............

Tell him to put his money where his mouth is. If he's so confident of the power of his rep-mobile he shouldn't have to think twice about taking you on from a set of traffic lights.....

Have you contacted your isp?
