List,
I have an off topic question. Forgive me, but with the Sprite
tango-uniform, if this one goes out too, I'll be walking. I have a '90
Subaru Legacy with 174K miles on it (this car still has the original clutch
in it--how's that for a good design? If it wasn't Japanese, I'd stick it in
the Sprite). The RPMs (fuel injected) occasionally jump up and down while
sitting at a traffic light, sometimes the car even cuts off. This problem
has just begun to show itself over the last month. The car also tends to
stutter when accellerating at low RPMs (1200-1700). When you get above this
range, the car is fine. This causes a minor lurching and the occasional
backfire. About a year ago, I changed the air, oil, and fuel filters all at
once. I also installed a new PCV valve and new plugs and wires. Of course,
I've changed the oil since them, but nothing else is even close as far as
mileage/time to change again. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Why
is it isolated to this RPM range? If the car is in neutral and revved, it
doesn't exhibit the same problem. Thanks,
Ryan
