Subaru STI problem jerking

Peace....



I own a Subaru STI and ive come across a problem which is, when im changing gears, the car starts to jerk?



when i put my foot onto the accelerator, the car holds back like a jerking thing.



can someone please help me?



thank you for taking the time to read this message.



Peace...


This is the "stuttering" problem which is quite common but doesn't affect every Subie.

Sometime a dealer ECU reflash does the trick, sometimes the reflash only partially helps.

Sounds like you're running too rich - ECU remapping will possible sort the problem.

The problem likely is you don't know how to drive a standard transmission car and are lugging the engine. Buy an automatic.
