Adding another case to this list, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
08 Legacy 2.5i Special Edition, 160kmi.
Symptoms: very hard to start, stutters and stalls when coming to a stop in traffic (will not stall if I shift into N and give it some gas to keep the RPMs up). CEL stays off even when it stalls out, but recently had a misfire code in Cyl 3. When idling, if I barely touch the accelerator, the RPMs drop to about 400 and that is when the shaking starts. Other than that it idles fine.
What I've Tried: ran a can of seafoam through the last tank of gas to hopefully clean up any injector issues; changed spark plugs (it was due anyway). No help with either.
Concerns:
- Could this be the fuel pump going out?
- Coil pack
- Bad injectors
- What else?
Maintenance: new plugs at 80k, 160k; timing belt at 100k, all other belts at 120k, regular oil changes, no mods.
Any help here would be hugely appreciated!
