Can a Subaru Legacy accelerate from a stop?
We have two 2004 Subarus – a Legacy sedan and an Outback wagon, both 2.5L, both low mileage. The sedan has always had an annoying problem – a moment of hesitation when I try to accelerate from a stop or slow speed. This makes it a heart-stopping experience to enter a rotary or try to grab an adjacent opening from a stalled lane.
What causes gutless acceleration in a Subaru?
Yet another possibility could be a problem with the ignition timing running retarded. The timing advance is computer controlled and retarded timing will cause hesitation and gutless acceleration. However, this should show up in a scan.
What causes a Subaru to slow down when driving?
If no codes are present then I would lean towards a vacuum leak, faulty MAF sensor, etc. as a stumble or surge often means a lean-running condition. The MAF could be unplugged and the car driven to see if the problem disappears. If it runs fine then the MAF is either dirty or faulty. Faulty should show up as a code.
How often does a Buick LeSabre stall on the highway?

What’s the average price of a Subaru Legacy?
Subaru Legacy Engine hesitates during acceleration Inspection costs $89 on average. It can be frustrating for any driver to expect certain acceleration from their vehicle only to find that the vehicle seems to be hesitant while speeding up.
Why does my Subaru keep bucking and stalling?
Fuel is a tricky thing. If you buy cheap, you get cheap. If you buy a major brand gas, or a station that has a major brand label/sign, and the station doesn’t see a lot of fuel traffic, water can be an issue, or the settlement of alcohol on the base of the tank is finding its way in to your tank. Bad grounding and/or conductivity.
Why does the ECM slow down a Subaru?
If the systems do not have enough electrical flow for use, you get a dumbed down car. Think in relationship to a laptop or cell phone with a low battery, it slows down. Same with the ECM. And if the electrical flow is low, solenoids and switches will either work poorly or not at all.
