How far away from Al's Autos are you? May pay just to call and drop in to see him. There is definately something not right.

Have you had a compression check done?

Are you sure all the vacuum and boost lines are connected?

Would a 2000 model Impreza have an air flow meter? Im pretty sure that it would have a MAP sensor.

You do alright for someone on the other side of the continent when all you've got to go by is the forum member's observation skills

Geez, anyone would think there would be something wrong with you for all the help you give out

So have all your ignition leads been replaced. I got replacement Bosch ones for my Outback from the local parts guy. I just took my old leads in, and matched them up to the ones on the rack and chose the ones that matched, cost about $12 each.

My other suspect is fuel pressure, either from a faulty regulator or pump. You will need to test it, but this may be a job for a mechanic because working with high pressure fuel can be dangerous.

The fuel pressure should be 36.3psi when you turn the ignition on, but dont start the engine. When the engine starts, the fuel pressure should drop by nearly 10psi because the manifold vacuum controls fuel pressure

yep thanks guys all a bit to complicated.Anyone think it could be the cat converter as there is some exhaust burble and can not find a hole in the exhaust .anyways hope get answers soon hey

Nah it wont be the cat. A blocked cat makes it feel like you are driving with the handbrake on, and there will be no exhaust burble

Yes I will have ordered the coil am just thinking i might try it with the leads I have as we replaced 3 which tested faulty the others were ok ,I'm on a budget here lol.Let ya's know :P

Check the resistance of the leads with a multimeter.. you may find they are the major issue.. very rear that the coil fails.. when this happens you lose spare to 2 cylinders, as they use a waste spark setup.

We used a multi meter and number 3 was faulty.The old mate at the mechanics said they only had the same model impreza in last week with a same prob it had 220k mine has 320k and has never been changed so i dunno they put on computer and test drove it and said that it for sure,if it's not they guna hear bout it lol
