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 

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 

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.
