hairpy Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hello all, great forum! I have an automatic impreza that seems like its not getting gas, it lags at a stoplight in drive position but also at higher speeds. It hasn't stalled yet but it seems like it might eventually. Does anyone have any insight as to what this could be? thanks very much! Hairpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I would probably start with the basic tune up items, filters, spark plugs, etc if you have not done them recently. If you or someone you know has an OBD2 scanner, you can watch the ECU parameters to help aid in troubleshooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairpy Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 ok , i changed the air filter and it helped but it still lags. I'm going to change the plugs but could it possibly the fuel filter? thanks hairpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Always helps to provide more information--how many miles on the car? History? How well has it been maintained by you or previous owner? New fuel filter might help a lot. New plugs and wires might be needed. Hard to tell without knowing more about the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairpy Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 2002 , 200,000km's on it , always runs great. Put a new air filter in yesterday and it helped but it still wants to stall. I'm taking it to a mechanic today to change teh plugs and fuel filter. Thanks for all your help! hairpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
