So I was directed here from the second gen page because my car is technically a first gen.... not sure but here it is
ORIGINAL POST.
94 Legacy 2.2, auto
Recently bought this awesome car, single owner, 150k miles. Really love this car.
So my car as of yesterday lost power at a stop sign. Did not cut out or anything, noticed CEL popped on so I pulled into a parking lot. The car was “pulsing” at idle. Basically up and down on the RPM, around the 1k mark. Made it home and spent the day testing things out.
When I start the car there is no CEL, but driving it up the road it pops on and the symptoms start, bogging at acceleration, stalling and also surging. When it stalls and I start it back up, CEL is off, then rinse and repeat.
I was looking on the forums here and tried the three easiest things I could find to do.
Replaced fuel filter
Replaced air filter
Cleaned MAF sensor.
No chance after that. Was looking for some guidance because this car is great and don’t want to see a bigger issue take it out. Thank you.
UPDATE
Learned how to check codes on this guy, at first I was only getting 23, but I am now also getting 22.
I inspected the knock sensor and found it to be cracked and corroded, ordered new one last night.
