Dilema

Importing into this country is a PITA. Besides, I think we're getting far to over-zealous. There's no need to import a 2-door car just to get a 2-door car. If you want a Subaru, get a 4 door, if not, get over it. It's that simple. I fail to see why this is a big discussion. -
FWD fuse does not increase MPG - if anything it can lead to an earlier demise of your automatic transmission. There is no benefit to using the fuse unless you have issues with your car. And yes, this fuse only appears on AUTOMATIC cars only. I'm not sure if it appears on the later cars, but I'm sure that it would be in the owner's manual and it would be labelled as FWD if it existed. So, take a look under your hood and see if you can find it.

Well, resetting the ECU didn't fix it. I have a MAF on order so when that comes, I can test that. I did notice an over abundance of oil leaking out one of my PCV pipes - I wonder if that's blocked and causing my issue. Interesting thing though - MAF plugged in or not, the car ran just as bad. So, we can assume one of two things - either the MAF is toast again or the MAF has absolutely nothing to do with it.

So, tonight, in the middle of driving home from college, my car just decides to start acting weird. I was driving a long at ~55mph and I suddenly get a really bad shake from the engine area. Lo and behold, if I keep the RPM's up, the shake goes away, but under further inspection, it's just a cover up. I pulled into the grocery store parking lot I was headed toward, and I put it in neutral to rev it up, to see if it would clear out. Well, it didn't clear out. Instead, it just runs like crap. I can hear it hitting and missing and what not and during the neutral revs, I thought I heard it backfire a few times. Definitely signs of what my MAF did back a few months ago. It's weird because this was my 3rd trip tonight (as in trip to one place) and it was in the middle of the trip that the car started acting weird. Before that, I was holding with an STi (he was making good time) and I had absolutely no problem (as in engine acting wacky). Is it another MAF? I have no posted codes, and I'm clearing the ECU tonight to make sure that that isn't the issue. Could it possibly be anything else? In the last shot, I replaced MAF, Knock, and CT sensors. So, assuming that all of those are good except maybe a toasted MAF, that doesn't leave very many sensors left to replace.

Suck it up and get a sedan. They do have a WRX Sport Wagon though. -
Any 89-94 EJ22E computer should work. Note: N/A engine to N/A engine..no N/A to Turbo ECU's or Vice-Versa.

The car is brand new....I highly doubt it's any of that stuff. As for it not being a bearing, your logic is quite wrong. Bearings make noise all the time, regardless of turning or load. It's usually associated with a grind or roaring sound. I also doubt the rear diff as well. I still think jacking it up will be the best solution. Once you have it jacked up, make sure the wheel is completely tight and then try to shake it. If it moves at all (aside from normal rotating movement) something in there is loose and it's probably the bearing.
