engine missing question
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 6:39 pm
so, last night, between stopping at the grocery store and leaving again, my subaru developed and engine miss. It sounded like a loose plug wire, but all was tight there. It smooths out and runs decent about 3k RPM, but at lower engine speeds and especially under load, it sounds like it is not running on all four.
I managed to drive it 100 miles last night like that and it never overheated or acted strange in any other way except a little worse mileage. I'm not all the way home yet, will be later today, but I ma wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm thinking it might be the coil, but I have no expereince with distributor-free ignition systems. Any advice? I'm probably at about 20k on these spark plugs, so I think I will try to pick up some new ones before I get home. NGK, right?
thanks
