drumcat Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hello all. Looking for some input on resolving an acceleration problem on my 1999 legacy gt 2.5L I recently bought it. It's doggin it, bogging down when jumping on the gas at lower speeds. Other than that this car runs very nice. Highway performance and passing gear response is very good. Would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumcat Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I checked the first plug. it was about .45 I think it's supposed to be about .39-.43 so, i did buy some plugs. No time yet to put them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovlet Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Mine did that - two things: #1 - If it's an auto - try changing the fluid - the 4EAT is known for poor performance with dirty fluid - it's even suggested to change the fluid - then change it again in 500 miles #2 - After I sold mine to my buddy - he went though it and found the there is a rear inspection cover that was apparently leaking oil and that was causing some sort of issue with low RPM Stumble Could also be bad/dirty MAF - although that would be a long shot........
