nickthedangerous Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi, I have a 1998 Subaru Legacy Wagon. Sometimes when it's raining out and I drive through a puddle, the car seems to lose power. It happens when I'm just moseying along. When I step on it, it downshifts and is fine, but then when it shifts back, it feels like it's skipping and is working sluggishly. I recently had the coil replaced, wires re-insulated and a new transmission. Other than when I go through puddles, it works totally fine. My mechanic isn't able to find the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! best, nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted December 31, 2011 I Donated Share Posted December 31, 2011 Wires re-insulated? wtf does that mean? Sounds to me like you're getting water in your air intake somehow. Do you have some kind of cold air intake? A cone filter? etc? What kind of air intake do you have...and how big of puddles are we talking about? -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted December 31, 2011 I Donated Share Posted December 31, 2011 ^ Also possibly a MAF sensor malfunction That goes hand in hand with air intake. But I probably should have specified. A mass air flow sensor getting wet can cause lots of issues ranging from loss of power, misfiring, check engine light, or even stalling. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
