Yamon234 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 So for the last 2 years or so I've had some issues with my acceleration. Somedays it's perfectly fine, other days it's a total nightmare to drive down the street. I can have the pedal all the way down and the car just doesn't seem to want to go. It will usually maintain my speed and/or speed up very slowly. If I leave the pedal in the same exact spot eventually within 5-15 seconds the engine will roar to life and take off unpredictably. (This unpredictable nature is why my wife refuses to drive my car currently) While this is happening I can see on my boost gauge that I'm pushing 8-9psi sometimes. (I'm tuned for around 16) The issue started 2 years ago when the turbo started over boosting sporadically and throwing check engine codes for it. I ran a log through my access port and found it was boosting up to 2-3 PSI over what it was tuned for and throwing the codes. Eventually this stopped happening (and hasn't happened in a year and a half or so) and was replaced by the cars current problem of not always wanting to go when I put the pedal down for that 5-15 seconds. (It's almost like the feeling of driving with a blown turbo if you can relate to that but the turbos isn't blown) If I'm driving around and I ride the car pretty hard for about 10-15 minutes I can get it working right so I'm thinking something might be sticking/stuck. My initial thought was the turbo wastegate. I have a BNR Evo 3 16g that I bought new 4ish years ago. But now I'm debating with myself that it could be an issue with the throttle. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. I finally have my own garage and can start checking off items on my repair list. P.S. I recently got an oil evaluation from Blackstone labs and they said my engine was in great shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORULZleggy Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 It's your senor on your pedal. try to unplug the gas pedal and wait, then plug it back in. I have had this same problem and bought a new pedal assembly from Subaru and I was golden. I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamon234 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Interesting, I have heard of people having that issue. (with different cars) Did you also have any overboosting issues at all? Thank you for your reply! I'll definitely look into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
