ok well...hello to all....lots of changes in here... anyways... i drove my 2001 outback to my brothers house and when i step on the accelerator it would go for a bit then stall as if there is no power what so ever...unless when you floor it then it'll downshift and go...so far forcing it will only make it go..other than that it feels very laggy.... there is good fuel, air. and spark..... now it is burning oil....when i took the plugs out...there was some oil and it was burnt...and these plugs are only about 3k miles on them.... any suggestions?
oil and burnt on the electrode or on the insulator (above the plug, on the white part that the wire connects to) Check engine lights?
there were no check engine light...kinda weird... but......the spark plug oil seals were bad...and oil was leaking into the spark plug tube thingy.. so i cleaned that area also the plugs and wires ..so i got new ones and also did new head gaskets too...now its running a little bit better...not so much stalling......but will wait to see the next few days if it will run right again...
Sounds to me like an A/F sensor. It usually doesn't set a check engine light but will cause pretty much your exact concern. Its a common problem on most Subarus.
