Also just to clarify I just work here all my tools are here lol. I was just trying to show my suby some love.

A friend of mine has a couple TPS from old 2.2 laying around says he'll bring them in come Monday to see if that's the issue. Thanks.

I thought that maybe I put too much or that maybe the weight of the gear oil was too heavy so I replaced it with the correct weight. I didn't overfill it though. Problems still exist.

The plugs and wires on it are fairly new I'll check them again though. I did disconnect the battery to reset the ECM and it fixed the problem for maybe 15-20 miles or so then came back. I think that by resetting the ECM if put it back to its factory settings, then is trying to correct itself later on causing the issue again. I don't necessarily hear any vacuum leaks but I will look again. The smoke was kind of whitish I don't really remember it doesn't smoke anymore though. I feel that if I did overfill it it's already burned off what it was overfilled.

I recently purchased a 98 Subaru Legacy with a 2.2 L engine manual 5 speed transmission. When I got the car it already ran pretty good, just a few things here and there that needed tidied up. Engine ran great though. I know the guy who previously owned it hadn't change the oil in a while so I took it to my shop at Honda to change the oil and I figured while I was at it I'd change the trans fluid. I followed the amount of fluids I should put in the vehicle recommended by the owners manual. I drove off and got home. When I got to the house I noticed there was some smoke coming out of the tailpipe. I figured maybe I overfilled just a little bit on the engine oil. I checked the dipstick and it was barely over the full line so I didn't think anything of it. About a week went by and I started noticing that when I begin to accelerate at a dead stop and get to about 2500 RPMs it starts to hesitate until I get past 3000 RPMs. Then it seems to take off rather quickly and continue to accelerate. I already checked the wiring to the right of the bellhousing to make sure I didn't disconnect any of the cables, I noticed that I had accidentally unplugged the O2 sensor at the front of the car. I've since then plugged it back in with no improvement on driving. The rear O2 sensor has been out since I've had the car and it was driving fine with that one being bad. Someone suggested that maybe I put the wrong weight in trans fluid but I made sure that I put the right kind in and that's not the issue. I've already ran a scanner on it and the only codes that pop up are O2 sensors which have already been there since I bought the car. I haven't changed too much to the car besides change fluids so I'm kind of stumped besides maybe putting too much oil. Also I've since then checked the dipstick and it's right where it needs to be.

Sorry new here

I've got a 98 Subaru Legacy with a 2.2 L engine. I'm also having this issue at the moment. Was there any solution to this at all? I know it's been quite some time since anyone has commented but I could really use some help.
