Does it happen when you are sitting at about 2500-3000rpm and just going into boost from there? especially in 3rd or upwards?

Because mine has just started doing the same sort of thing a couple of weeks ago and mine had a service only about 2000kms ago.

And mine is a 2000model.

At first it felt like it wasnt getting enough fuel, but the more it happens the more it feels like its go in and out of boost, I found if i put my foot into it a lil more it helps :)

Dont mean to Hi-jack your thread, but it just seems we may be having the same problem so no need to start a new one.

[QUOTE=kinga86]Actually it does stutter sometimes when I'm cruising. Only started happening recently too in the last week or so.[/QUOTE]

You can pretty much bet that its the AFM. Get a new one from Subaru. Not expensive for My99/00 models. Its might just save your engine

sounds like the same problem j-rad :(

Dang...Oh well, atleast I now have some sort of an idea on what it probly is.

Now, is this job something I can take to my trusted local mechanic? Or is it a job for a subaru specialist? eg: needs re-tuning etc?

Cheers

Wrxstasy (Jaime) has a spare afm,if you want to pm him,he might even let you try it to see if that is your problem.

same thing
 

i had the same problem and was told i was running more boost then the mods can handle, i had ma boost controller looked at and it was faulty, tuned the boost and everything was ok.

Be VERY careful. If it is the AFM, you could be driving a time bomb as it could be leaning out you car.

Get an aftermarket ECU and do away with the crappy old AFM. Mine cost me an engine rebuild! :(

Got my car fixed today along with a service. Turned out to be a faulty lead. 4 new genuine subaru leads and OMG it runs soooo well. Very smooth, revvy and powerful :) And it sounds better than ever!
