can someone help
if any1 can help that would be great
was out yesterday just running the car easy without boosting then all of a sudden the car lost all power. pulled the car over and it was running like at 100 rpm then i tried to pull away and it was spitting like it was going to stall but it didnt. so i turned the engine off left it for about 10 secs then it started fine. so stared to take it home and it done it once more before i got home if any1 can point me in the right direction that would be great.
its a 98 impreza classic ive checked the cel and nothing
thanks

Sounds to me like you could be going down the road of looking at everything possible which could be costly.
Might be best getting it booked in with a Mapper so he can check for you. Id imagine someone like Andrew Carr would look at it for you for a small fee. Needs plugging in mate in my personal opinion to find out what the ECU is reading and where the fault can be found. It could be anything thats causing the issues you mentioned, but to have the car in the hands of mapper or subaru specialist would surely sort it.
Where are you based so we can offer advise on where to go?
