2002 Legacy fuel problem?

[chelle]

My 2002 Legacy has 40,000 miles. One day, I thought I got a bad tank of gas when my vehicle started "jerking". After adding dry gas, it stopped, so I thought the problem was solved. A week later, when I had less than 1/4 tank of gas, it started again. Now it is shaking and acting like it is not getting fuel with over half a tank of gas. I've had the fuel filter changed, but the problem is still occurring. It seems to have more power now. Before, I could floor the gas pedal and have very little power. Yet, it still acts like it is not getting fuel to go. Any ideas? I have a service date scheduled and really hope not to have a huge bill since my car is just out of warranty (wouldn't ya figure). Thanks.

Is there any fuel leaks or can you smell fuel coming from any spot? Hmm, had a similar thing in an older Geo Prism back in the day but couldn't source the problem.

The NASIOC (forums.nasioc.com) Legacy forums may be able to pinpoint it a bit better than here as we are just starting to build a good member base and the very tech knowledage people are still few and far between.

Hopefully the service checkup will pinpoint the problem with minimal finances required.
