DRIVING LIKE A BAG OF NUTS PLEEASE HELP
#31
95 wrx running like bag of nuts
My94 WRX ran perfect and had a nice smooth even idle running on 3 cylinders as one of the coil packs was shot. I had no idea it was shot until WOT on the freeway or under heavy accelaration I would get hesitation, bucking, jerking, and symptoms like fuel cut but not as violent. Every now and then it would be rough on cold starts too. I took out the offending coil pack and noticed the plug was soaked in fuel. Good sign its not firing. I had my friend turn the car over with the coil pack out and it definately was not sparking. I tested the new coil pack the same way and we had spark It is running perfect now. It is in an awkward spot and I sustained a few injuries myself with medium sized hands!!!! Good luck and hope you sort it soon.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I'm trying to sort a similar problem on my legacy.
b81ggy, did you ever resolve this issue and if so, how?
Also, if I want to check my coils are sparking, can I remove all 4 at once and crank over to check or should it be done one at a time?
