bertmann73 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 i was getting ready to bring the 97 Impreza sport to my mother and it suddenly has a hesitation problem at lo idle. I would ble the throttle position sensor but I replaced it 2 years ago. I checked for vacuum leaks. Are there any other known problems with low idle hesitation. I get nothing until I press the accelerator down halfway and then the power launches in. .... How I love the old days of carbs and distributors. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Does it feel shaky like a misfire? How old are the plugs? Knock sensor can cause hesitation and is a common failure. If the housing is cracked replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
