dbrunone Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 So this guy on the Cobb forums says he got a Subaru reflash to fix the 3-4k stutter on his 07 GT: http://www.cobbforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36822&page=2 Anyone heard of this??

Codean Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Um, he made no mention that it was an accessport... could of been an ecutek reflash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Service dept closed but they will be calling back tomorrow morning. <Closes eyes and crosses the fingers> lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Um, he made no mention that it was an accessport... could of been an ecutek reflash. And the OP made no mention of accessport either. Nor ecutek. Nor stage 1/2 flashing at all, which is where I'm assuming you were going with that. This is in regards to a Subaru service flash for curing stutter. Which quite frankly, good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I also called 2 dealers in California... one denied the reflash and the other said that they would check into it and call back tomorrow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrunone Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yep, thay have the reflash out that specifically addresses the 3-4k studder problem on the 2007 LGT, let me know if your dealer gives you any problems and I will give you the information off of my workorder.sounds like a dealership flash to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalla5150 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 dont you loose hp with the dealership flash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codean Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 yes, and we all know how well the subaru reflash worked for the STI guys.... Loosing a little HP is better then an engine that knocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Is loose HP as bad as losing HP? Perhaps loose HP means the ponies can run free. Run free my horsey friends, run free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strife1012 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 maybe the "reflash" is disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. Then a fun drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamhock Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 maybe the "reflash" is disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. Then a fun drive. That's what I'm thinking. Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryokosman Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I just got my cars stutter FIXED YES FIXED by my Subaru dealer. I walked in the door said "My car stutters" and the service adviser says "we just got a reflash for that". He brings it up on the programmer and it says something like "car hesitates at 3000-4000 rpm" I say thats what it is and 20 minutes later my car runs 100% better!!! GOGOGO get it done! Car feels so much faster and smoother now! +1 billion to Adventure Subaru in Fayetteville, AR. They sure know how to take care of a good customer!

hamhock Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Holy crap. I would have considered this fix rumor, but coming from you Eddie, it's good to know that its fixed. If you don't mind, keep us informed of longer term driveability. Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codean Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 With the 2007 STI reflash most of the owners had the issue come back after a few days to a week of driving. The Subaru flash was still too lean in the problem area. However, some owners found that most of the issue went away. Fuel additives and quality in different regions might have some effect on why this is. I hope that the legacy Subaru flash fix is better then what it was for the STI guys. The easy way to find out is the get the flash, take the car to the dyno and post up the results. I’m betting that its still lean up to 4000 rpm because there is only so much they can do without blowing the LEV2 status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryokosman Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Lean or not. As long as its smooth and doesn't knock I'm fine with it. I really don't care if its leaving power on the table. I put around 100 miles on it today after the reflash. Seems consistantly better but I'll post a update on it in about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_sharp Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'm amazed at some people's inability to read. How many times must it be repeated? 07+ studder is different than 05-06. Even if the symptoms are the same there is no current flash available for 07+... unless of course the gentleman at Cobb forums speaks the truth. Please read harder. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Ryosoman's flash to his '08 LGT (first page, last post) doesn't count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
