My wife has a 1999 TS-R wagon, it just dosent seem to have the power you would expect from a 2 lt engine, ever since we bought it it seems to be gutless on the hills, and when its warming up under acceleration it has a gentle surge felling, of acceleration then Plateau, acceleration then plateau........ as it gets up to speed.
It did have a fouled plug in number 4 , and has been looked at by subaru, but they didnt seem to see the problem, we have just put up with it. It dosent seem to affect over all running as we have done some big trips in it no problem, but sometimes you can feel it miss a bit, and wonder if its going to breakdown, but it never has.
It has been like this for two years now. Starting to really annoy me now, must be using more fuel like this.
Any Ideas???? Anyone had same problem?
I have heard that if the Cam is out a tooth it can affect power, but not sure if it surges, or misses also?
Have also been told coils, but you would think it would have shat itself by now?
