Subaru Legacy Engine flat spot - sadchicken
I have a P reg 2.0 litre Subaru Legacy which has developed a 'flat spot' in engine response between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm. As soon as it hits 2,500 rpm you can feel the power come back in. It's a non turbo petrol engine but it almots feels like 'turbo-lag'. I though at first it was caused by cheap supermarket petrol but switching to a proper brand has not helped. Could it be fuel filter, HT leads or...?
Thanks. Sad Chicken
