I have a 2001 outback (4cyl 2.5)........its never been good on gas approx 380km on 46litres,but recently its started to intermittently lose power when cruising (speed is irrelevant but mainly between 50-100kph).
Initially the loss of power was accompanied by the engine warning light and occassionaly a sudden splutter/shudder. It went into the garage and had its knock sensor replaced but still didnt run perfectly.
After about 5 weeks the engine light reappered together with a slight 'miss and power reduction'. Back to the garage and another knock sensor but still an issue - the garage is now suspecting the 'link' between the knock sensor and ECU/management system!
The loss of power is slight and short lived and the light is also intermittent!
Any ideas please - I have looked at similar threads, but most seem to loose all power, not just dip!
Would appreciate any assistance please chaps!
