I have not long bought a 2.0 impreza wagon 1998, i dont know much about scoobies but my mate offered it me cheap.
Everything was fine until yesterday when i went out in the car went to overtake and there is no pic up after 4k anymore it really struggles and wont really go past 5k. this only happens under load. and there is no engine management light on.
my mate said the lamba sensor has been changed recently and had new plugs and fuel filter and injectors clean about 4,000 miles ago.
a few things i thought it may be
coil packs
lamba sensor (though changed not long ago)
cat breaking down ( suggested by one of the guys i know never heard of this happening but this guy knows his stuff)
can anyone help narrow this down?
or any advice?
thanks in advance for any comments or advice

its a non turbo have tried disconnecting the battery and still got nothing doesnt seem like its in limp mode as it still accelrates but as if its being held back by something, like its being starved of fuel under load.
