Default Fuel Lines????

Hey guys,

I'm after a bit of help....

I think maybe my fuel lines are slightly blocked, otherwise I can't think of what it could be!

I just noticed there are a few flat spots when i accelerate, all of a sudden!!

Was thinking maybe my clutch is slipping, or my fuel lines are a bit dirty.

Any suggestions???

Also, if it is my fuel lines, how do I clean them?

Thanks a lot guys,
Neen

when the car is idling, to the revs fluctuate at all? or do they hold dead solid at whatever rpm?

if they're fluctuating a little and you're experiencing surging (loss and gain of power through revs) then it's most likely a faulty AFM (air flow meter) which is pretty common for your model.

yup, then the AFM is your prob it controls the air/fuel mix so it can be pretty dangerous to be driving around with a dodgy one.
you can pick up a new one from a wrx workshop, maximum motorsport in malaga or revlimit motorsport in carlisle.

you can swap it yourself if you feel like fiddlin, just a plug and two screws is all it takes. pardon the pun. otherwise they can do it for you.
will cost somewhere around $200+ and the car will run a million times better than it is now.

i have a spare here, not sure how good/bad it is, looks clean... free to a good home if you feel like testing.
