Is the 2002 Subaru Forester having surge issues?
So i also own a 2002 subaru forester and am having very similar problems. It now has 95000 miles on it and about 1000 miles ago it started this surge stall issue. Mostly at low speeds, it stalls when you take off and then will either sputter or surge quickly.
Why does my Subaru Forester stall at slow speeds?
Engine occasionally stalls or almost stalls when driving very slowly like through a parking lot. Engine power is jerky at all speeds (used to be just at slow speeds but getting worse) unless you are deep into the throttle at higher RPM (like 3,000-4,000 + ).
What is the error code on my Subaru Forester?
BUT, last night my subaru finally threw an error code. YES! “P0170” = Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1). Called the local dealer and they said the cause is almost always the front oxygen (O2) sensor, but there was a chance it could be something else and the only way to know for sure was to bring it in for a full diagnostic.

Why does my Subaru Forester stall at red lights?
Due to a shortage of good head gaskets in Subaru engines, I would wish for a compression test. I should add that it was also sometimes idling so rough that it will stall out at stops or red lights. Sometimes it will run fine for a few miles, then start hesitating/running rough again.
