Hello,
A few months ago I purchased a 2000 Forester with 212K on it. It ran great until recently. It intermittently spits and chugs (almost stalls) under acceleration. To rule out the easy things, I replaced the fuel filter and plugs. Still no error code is showing. These intermittent problems are difficult to diagnose, it runs great for an hour then starts stuttering and chugging like it's totally lost it's valve or ignition timing, then it clears up again.
Stretched timing belt? Faulty fuel pump? Ignition problems? Green Wiring connections? Does anyone have any input?
