I've been having similar probs on my 97 Forester. Sluggish and regular flat spots. I've changed plugs, leads, all filters. Had it tested at several different places. Now someone says it maybe the throttle position switch. Mines done 230K and been told obviously at that age they're prob warn, or on n...

hi, i've been chatting to the guys at Ausubaru and coming up with a similar price. Maybe them?

going to give it a go soon.

cheers
