Weird problem with my 87 gl wagon SPFI EA-82titodgaf 09-25-2006, 04:19 AM I have a strange misfire or jolting problem on downhills with my subaru, it only happens during partial throttle situations between 3-4000 rpms. I have replaced practically everything ignition wise and fuel filter but still have this problem, has anybody else had this kind of problem with their subbie and if so how did u fix it? StNicholas 09-25-2006, 03:40 PM There is an engine management computer on this car which is capable of some self-diagnosis. Some of the codes would trigger the check engine light, some won't. I'd do a search for the Ultimate Subaru Repair Manual; it should have a writeup of the procedure.

It is just a flat spot and when I go over it the car perfoms much better. I believe Haynes has detailed testing procedure for it. I was never able to do it: could not remove the connector. Just yesterday I noticed that there is a wire spring that holds it. So that will be my next project. Sam vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
