Have you pulled the plugs out to see if any of them are fouled? Leaking injector could foul a plug.... etc. Sounds like a classic misfire to me.
Diamond coil, NGK plugs and wires?
GD
it does feel like a misfire. its not throwing any codes at all. the plugs are ngk wires and coil i robbed off my plow car "an 01 legacy sedan" witch was running fine and not misfiring at all.i did the compression check 2 or 4 days after doing the plugs and all the plugs looked same dident seem fouled out. once i get moving the miss stops and it runs smooth its only doing it when taking off from a stop or if i floor it to pass and the rpm is low enough. the miss/stumble also seems kind of random like its not happening every time it fires that cylinder. also while running if i unplug the wires from the coil all cylinders are contributing the idle will dip lower for each cylinder i pull the wire for.

ive been battling a stumble/misfire when taking off from a stop for the past month or so on my 2001 outback. so far ive changed the spark plugs changed the wires and coil pack and done a compression test witch came out to 175 175 175 and 165 after changing the plugs it did fix it for about 2 days but the issue returned the coil and wires dident do anything for it. compression seems good to me the engine did get all new gaskets bearings and rings 2 years ago. yesterday found a vacuum leak and no change by fixing that. i tried to reset the ecu by unhooking the battery and touching the 2 wires together for 10 seconds that did stop the stumble for about 30 minutes but it came back half way to work. air filter is good exhaust not plugged. what the hell is going on with the car?

the horn does work yes. i dont know about cruise control as i dont use it very often. i can repeat that test and have the light come on each time if i turn left almost to full lock.

New info. Just took lunch break airbag light shut off when I started the car and turned back on when I turned the wheel. I'm gonna guess clockspring

OK I figured out reading the code. I got code 11. What's the most likely suspect for this code?
-
Yesterday I had my airbag light come on. I shut the car off restarted it and it shut off was fine the rest of yesterday. This morning I start the car the airbag lights on again. Tried restarting it light stays on now. Does anyone know how to get the code out of the airbag module?

i dont know how far back it works for but this is the manual process to get the code.

Did you have to rewire the radio?
If it's just plug and play radio swap I'd put the old one back in. I'm guessing a different ground.
With a remote start, security system you are dealing with a few unknowns in there.
the old radio i had the wiring harness to just color code the wires together and plug it into the stock radio plug. all i did was unhook the old radios harness and wire the new one into the adapter harness. the remote start has been in the car for near 3 years now its never done this and have it installed under the drivers side dash area. i do plan to unplug it for testing when i get a chance to but likely not today due to rain. trying to build a game plan of things to look into when the time comes. i did not cut any of the cars wiring to ad the remote star instead i went to a junk yard and cut the male and female plugs from the harnesses id have to wire into and wired it so i can unplug the remote start and plug it back in like factory so in the future i could just unplug the remote start and move it into another car plug and play style.

im not sure ill be looking into it today but im curious if anyone els has ever has this issue. swapped the radio out the other day i had a pioneer radio and swapped it for a better model pioneer radio. somehow in the process after i finished i noticed the doors locked but dident think anything of it other than i must have bumped the switch. next morning i remote start my car go out and its locked. wonder to myself why and then drive to work. stopped at he store and when i come back out and start the car the doors locked as soon as the key hit the crack position. somehow changing the radio has caused my door locks to lock when the key is in crank position. has anyone ever heard of this happening? for now ive pulled the door lock fuse its suposed to rain all day im planning to pull the radio back out to re check behind it. anyone have any ideas what could have happened?

my friend has a 2005 forester ive been working on. every 30 to 45 seconds when its warmed up theres what seems like single missfire then it goes back to normal idle. it only does it at idle and is not throwing a cel for it. what could be causing it? it may not be a missfire but thats what it sounds like. idle idle hickup/missfire sounding thing idle idle

it is definitely not cross threaded in. i just finished up swapping the original rack back into it and took the 7 month old replacement rack out. not leaking anymore. now i gotta try to see if this place will honer the warranty

is there some trick i dont know to getting the dam lines on the rack to seal? i noticed a small drip the other day coming from one of the 2 lines that cross over the rack from right to left side wish i never touched it now. tried to tighten it when i noticed it leak got worst changed the o-ring leak got even worst tried teflon tape leak slowed down but dident stop replaced o-ring again leak became a stream not a drip tried using a thick rubber washer intead of the o-ring still gushed out put an o-ring back in it and still streaming out. i cant stop this leak ive dumped at least 4 quarts of fluid in this dam car over the last week and been attempting to try repairs almost every night with no luck. i actually debated welding the dam line into the rack for a moment but figured that wouldent work well and talked myself out of it. is there any kinda way to force the dam thing to seal up?

its fixed. i pulled the tail back off and took the clutch drum and transmission side drum from another trans that was having electrical issues and put it into the forester trans. no more binding.

can the metal gasket for the tail housing on the transmission be re used?

i ended up going to the yard this morning and got the solenoids and the speed sensor put them in and no go. probly going to end up looking for a transmission.
-
well im going to try to get to a junk yard thursday for some trim parts and figure while im there ill grap some transmission solenoids and a speed sensor as well to try. ill update later

A friend had a like problem. I recommended a transmission shop check and they found a bad speed sensor. He went to the yard and pulled it, put it in. Problem fixed.
how can i test for this? the cel is not on.
-
basing my findings off this picture i found in a pdf about torque bind in the 05-09 subarus i believe the solenoid is bad even though it activates fwd.the voltages seem in spec everywhere except drive cornering 2-5mph where it stays around 2.2v but this is without giving it gas. when i start to give it gas the voltage does go down some. i dunno really.

Might pull a complete valve body out of a yard and swap it in. If it does not work, return it.
i thoght about this as well but i dont think the yards around here would allow a return witch is why i was curious if i could swap those solenoids around for testing.
-
so this is the solenoid setup the transmission has in it. and im suspecting the transfer clutch duty solenoid is the one i need to replace. are the other solenoids the same thing? could i swap 2 of them around to see if the issue moves with the solenoid to another part of the transmission? basically i want to find out if the solenoid is truely bad or not before tossing 100 bucks worth of solenoids in it. id like to swap 2 of them re assemble it and find out if it still binds or not.

You don't state the YEAR of your Foz, but I searched that TZ # and shows a 2005.
That MIGHT be what I've heard called Phase 2 Version 2 of the 4EAT, vs. the Phase 2 Vers. 1 in the donor OB. I'd bet the electronics are different, but maybe the parts are interchangeable. Good luck.
the clutch pack and drums were the same and in good condition but the duty c solenoid was not in the tail like i was expecting it to be. im guessing its the setup where its in the valve body? does anyone know what solenoid id need to order for the transfer clutch? are the solenoids basically all the same? and yes i forgot. it is a 2005 forester xt

well wish me luck then cause im going to attempt it.

i have a forester with the tz1b5lcxaa-mm automatic transmission. does the awd solenoid work the same as on a 2001 outback and can i use the solenoid and awd clutch pack from an outback transmission in the forester transmission?

could this be a valve issue or a cam issue? or would that be more consistent
