February 17, 200620 yr My 2002 Forester has a off-and-on problem that a Subaru mechanic cannot fix.....it gulps and gasps when cold and then runs good most of the time after warm-up.....except occasionally when coming to a stop. Premium gas seems to help a little bit. Mechanic has done compression test, new wires and plugs, etc., etc. everything else checks out according to spec's. Dash warning light does not come on. Answers?

Answers? Gasping for air? Aren't you in high altitude?
February 17, 200620 yr I'd try a coolant temp sensor if it is only while cold. They often don't throw a code and they are cheap.
