We're a bit stuck, although we've limped to a nice campsite fortunately. Takes on a different importance when travelling with a 4month old! :/
'99 ej20 non turbo Forrester.
The vans been running great for a year it's just sods law eh! So..
Idle started being a bit lumpy, with more engine vibration. It revs fine in neutral and sounds normal. No error codes showing.
Then it started stumbling under load, loss of power with lots of changing down and trying to keep it alive with the clutch. I thought I found a dud plug by unplugging in sequence and not hearing a change, so I swapped the 'bad one', but think this was a red herring since no improvement. In the back of my mind though it felt like a fuel starvation. I sourced a new fuel filter but it's still the same now :/ air filter is fine. Sparks are all 'good' ie the coil pack is firing all four, and engine note changes when I take out a plug lead one at a time. Fuel pump is noisy, but always has a fair buzz, more so right now. I have my old spare in the van, but not swapped it yet as a bit stumped and lots of head scratching(current pump obviously still pumping?)
Rescue recovery coming in the morning, but I'm obviously racking my brain for options. So! Any thoughts anyone, things to test? I have tools and multi meter.
Thanks in advance guys
