January 20, 201412 yr Hi I have a subaru 2.0r sport 2005, ive had it just over a month now and love it!.but recently it seems when I put my foot down, it hits about 3 and half thousand revs in 2nd and 3rd gear and goes sluggish? Like the revs go up but the speed holds back like a little jult and then it picks up speed all of a sudden??? Any clues out there????
January 20, 201412 yr Umm... possibly not the best place to post that in my thread. But anyway, is yours a twin turbo? It could be the notorious valley of death which is the point when the second turbo is spooling up to take over from the first. Im sure if you search you will find the answer.

January 20, 201412 yr Author No mine is a non turbo there are just so many things it cud be I don't know which one to believe
January 20, 201412 yr Change spark plugs, change the HT leads and maybe the distributor cap. Usually hesitation around the midrange can be attributed to electrics. Also make sure all your grounding points are in good contact with the body. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
January 20, 201412 yr Author Ok cheers to be fair I have warranty on it I just like to no a little bit more about the problem incase they try and fob me off with some rubbish excuse!
January 20, 201412 yr Author Ive had my subaru impreza 2.0r sport hawkeye 2005 now for just over a month, its a non turbo and just lately seems to struggle and stumble at 3 and half thousand revs?? When u put your foot down in all the gears.the revs are there but sluggish before and then boom 4,000 revs and picks up speed! Any ideas pls.????
January 20, 201412 yr Thats just a possibility of what it could be. A lot of people on here do their own repairs and servicing so its helpful to know a few bits to rule them out. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
January 21, 201411 yr Could be a few thing's but I'm with matt I'd look at when the plugs was last changed that might be due. I'd also get some carb cleaner and give the throttle body a spray while giving it some revs. amazing how that can soon clear the cars sinuses.
January 21, 201411 yr Author Im hoping it is just something like that funny how it just came over night.but thanks for fhe advice.
January 21, 201411 yr New thread created from unreleated mid thread post - looking to get more visibility... Jay
January 21, 201411 yr hold on thought I had managed to relocate all the posts - first time pressing this button - !Removed! amateurs I dont know
January 21, 201411 yr didnt see any from Matt and yourself TBH but apologies if I have somehow deleted them, although there is nothing in that box?? feel free to repost with your sage like wisdom though chum :D
January 21, 201411 yr Well Skifledanabit said one of them about the spark plugs if they haven't been changed which a lot of people do neglect because of how hard it is. And the throttle body give that a clean out with some Carb spray to clear the sinuses :D
