Mickey Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi. I've got a subaru impreza 2004 WRX. On Friday I was driving and realised that it was hesitating at four thousand rpm, drove for a little longer and the engine management light started flashing and the car was juddering going up hill and loosing power, I realised I need to get home ASAP which I did. Even on tick over now the car is shaking and not running right. I know it's a long shot but does anyone know what the cause of this could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hopefully its nothing to serious but the best bet would be to get the ECU codes read . Under normal circumstances most garages would be able to do this but you can buy a odb2 Bluetooth adapter and download the torque app on your phone .this will read most ECU codes afaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSSCOSM Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Has the timing belt been done recently I had same symptoms on my old wrx and it was due to a mechanic not doing my timing belt change right. Had another guy redo the timing and all was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
