oh. sorry. i only had codes for misfires when my engine cut out. dealership doesnt know what the problem was. smart service shoreline wasted my money and came back with possible injectors but werent certain. i paid for them to put in an actual subaru 02 sensor. why they didnt in the first place i dont know. they used up all my gas and gave it back to me on e. so really all the bad gas should be gone. bad gas is the only thing i can think of. ive since cleared the ecu and put in 2 bottles of berryman b12 and a costco tank of gas. the car is driving better in some ways but im getting after fires. the surging and bucking with rpm fluctuations are gone so far. im still on that same tank of B12. need more driving time.

hmmm i have to throw in some questions... good pads have a good amount of dust. just the way it is. BUT many complain about the dusting and then use lesser pads. what is the over all point of using bigger rotors etc if people are going to use less than great pads? wouldnt good grippy pads on some stock sized rotors be just as good? i mean its tire friction related when it comes down to it. ive also had the stoptech pads on dba 4k rotors with a stink i can smell inside the car with windows closed and there was no fade. outside of trying for a 'look" like people go for sound with bov's whats the desire for this setup?

it is rough. very rough. my only issue was the car cutting out 2 weeks ago with no warnings and brake shake. if im right it may be bad gas and possibly the non factory 02 sesor SS shorline installed that i just paid to have replaced. i have july appt at pia for build and possible vf52.

are there any reputable shops near Mukilteo? based on the poor repair quality around here i cant recommend subaru to anyone. its down right pathetic. even carter subaru lies and doesnt know arm from leg and i have their errors in writing. flex joint in downpipe leaking? really carter? you cleaned a clean maf sensor and the stft are fine suddenly? really? it was spotless 2 days before you "cleaned" it. and it still had issues. smart service? mukilteo and today shorline. both make errors. all wheel drive auto? the front guy is no where near knowledgeable. he tried to argue me that the upipe doesnt have a flex joint. its funny because i have a stock split flex joint upipe in my garage. they are 1/2 and 1/2. iffy. they found my uppipe leak issue that smart service mukilteo said was my "turbo bearings". no awd auto front guy. my stock bpv is not "warped". nice lie though. SS shoreline tried to charge me for break diagnositcs but i got nothing beyond what would be done with a free inspection. yes i know it has shakes. find out why as ive already been through a set of rotors and pads for the same issue. i told them it has shakes and knocks out the front left and right rear wheel balance. they can see misfires and they think my issue would be injectors. but the car pulled hard. its only issue is at finite throttle app but they said small misfire count around 1200 rpm. i think i may have gotten and very bad tank of gas from chevron. i paid for hefty diagnostics and i asked fro the official subaru 02 sensor to be installed. $850 from shoreline is what i ended up paying and i dont know much more than before i even went. yes. they are that bad. seems im gonna have to drive to PIA for even a simple oil change. oh. shoreline used all my gas and i got back in with the light on saying 30 miles to go. really??? you cant drop $5 and put in 2 gallons for gas when i spent 850??? it was 3/8 when i took it in. im gonna stop for the night. its down right stupid how these service shops are.

bump... my 07 did this EXACT same thing last weekend when it died. throttle pos was good voltage was too but the duty% was all over the place. from - to +. dealer said stft were very high and i needed a new maf. bought one but i still have idle and off-idle issues. the kicker is i replaced the front 02 around 1000-2000 miles ago as preventative. i did the fuel filter and pump this past weekend for prep for a vf52. will be taking the car to a shop of thursday for throttle testing. the same one that did my front 02.
