Today I finally made what sounds like a good connection for a Subaru 2.5l Phase II engine, and somehow my WBX must have heard about it. :-) Symptoms: While running, loss of power, almost as if the accelerator cable had suddenly become disconnected. Engine drops to a very low idle speed, barely enough to keep going. Immediately reponds to cycling ignition switch, that is, if you turn off the engine completely and restart, it starts back up normally with full power, though it might repeat the loss of power symptoms within a minute or less. Engine has 100K miles since new, plugs,distributor cap, fuel filter etc all replaced 9 months ago, about 5000 miles. Where to start? Thanks Tom F.
