crazyman03 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) '95 Impreza - EJ22 Automatic. I've only, at least, noticed it when the A/C is running that the engine will sit there and kinda sputter 2 sometimes 4 or even 5 times while i'm stopped. Its not the usual *kick* up rev to compensate for the A/C nor the *kick* down - I know what that feels like and why. When it does it it'll jossle the car a bit. I got a bit of video of it doing it and you can see the camera shake a bit when it does it at :07, :21 and :40 seconds. I'll try and get more video of it doing it today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr2qBDoCLXE it does it like 3 or 4 times right before the engine kicks down from the A/C. -Justin Edited June 12, 2013 by crazyman03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 How long has it been since the spark plugs and plug wires were changed?? Could this be an engine "miss??" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luko Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 If your plugs wires are bad and shorting out take a water squirt bottle and while it's running spray a little water on them and if it starts to cut out a little you know your wire is broken and just not shorting out all of the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed in the wintertime I unplug the A/C clutch wire and even with the engine kicking up it'll do it. Even without an actual "load". I unplug the A/C clutch so that way it doesn't run while i'm just running the heat in Defrost/Floor mode. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
