I looked on many sites to find why i was bottoming out on hard excelaration in my subaru legacy 2.0ltr 1999 estate , many came away with exhuast and catylictic convertor failure also mass airflow sensor came into the forums aswell ...... owners of these cars should check the fuel filler pipe from where you put the fuel in to the rubber gasket where it connects to the petrol tank there is a plastic cover in the wheel arch which collects dirt and grime behind it this helps to corrode your fuel pipe thus breaking the seal to the tank causeing you to bottom out when hard excelarating due to lack of enough pressure to deliver fuel I am no mechanic i found this out simply by accident when i noticed petrol leaking when i was filling up i now have it repaired and excelaration is back to normal by the way shop around for a fuel filler pipe ie breakers yard as they dont come cheap lol another ive left the plastic guard off and hammerite painted the new pipe
