Well the Sub is back bettter than ever. The main thing...its not the transmission. I changed to NGK's and the thing ran great. The dealer said the fuse can stay in to help gas milage. The parts have not come in yet but I will put them on when they arrive. Thanks for the feedback, Todd

The weird thing is...I went out for lunch to get the new plugs and I thought I would put in the FDW fuse under the hood and it seemed to run differently. Could it be transmission related? Will it harm the car to keep in the fuse for a few days? I ordered the OEM parts from a Subaru dealer online. I am going to have the fluids replaced in my transmission this weekend and go from there. I will keep you posted. Todd

They still look great and snap on perfectly. I think my post could have been mis-understood. I was going to do this but want some feed back before I did. Should I get a set from the dealer? 106K out of this set is pretty good. Should I change the plugs again? Do you recommend NKG? Thanks, Todd

I have searched the posts for my specific problem, but it seems I can not narrow it down. Here the systems: The car idles fine and will rev up with no problems in park most of the time. When I accelerate, it feels like the car is missing but will eventually pick up. Also, I will be driving along and I will let off the accelerator and the car will just down shift at approx. 40 mph. Here is what has been done the car. It is a 1999 Legacy Sedan 2.2 Limited with 106K. New completely replace transmission – 65K (warranty done by the dealer) Plugs, filters etc. – 65K (done by me) Plugs (Bosch Platinum gapped at 44) Timing Belt, Front and Rear Crank seals, cam seals, water pump – 105K (by mechanic) This problem has been around for about 15k miles (since 90K) One thing I did notice, one of the plug wires came off during travel and it stated missing really bad. I put it back and it is back were I started. Could this have fouled the plug by it firing with the boot barely on?
