There's your problem right there.

Yep sure was! I now see the error in my ways and will follow the right path from now on haha
It was a shame though as Subaru parts shuts at 12pm, so I missed that but managed to get my hands on genuine one and have now finish the job right!
But don't know why I needed to change it as you can see in this pic it still looks like a brand new filter......

So problem is still here after fuel filter change, but after driving around with this problem I have found it to be odd. As when take off after start the car it runs find for about 10mins with no signs of the problem. But after that time it starts playing up. Would this still be my injectors? As I would of thought if they are clogged the car would be the same all the time.
And also the problem is not present revving under no load? It there something else that could course the same symptoms as clogged injectors?

No MAF on a GenIII n/a. They use a MAP instead.
Sounds like it may be coolant temp sensor related as it gets worse as engine warms up.
Have you done a code check?

Mine come back too, although you can't notice it when driving normally. Only when pushing the car.

Yeah I did it when it first started, Had no errors
Well check again when I have time.

Yeah thats the same as mine it only does it when i gun it a bit.
Although today I decided I wanted to have a really bad day and I broke the idle air thing. I took it out to give it a bit if a clean as it had alot of carbon build up..... But slipped out of my oily hands and the top bit feel off........... Now it idles shit also. And I dropped the oil filter into the oil when doing the oil change and now have oil up the walls and all under the car.......
So if anyone has one of these spare I am happy to take it off your hands! Anyone know if it needs a gasket also? As I can hear air been sucked though the gap and it never had one????

I have given up, the car is going into the mech tomorrow for a looksy. I'm sick of trying to find the problem, everything I think it is turns out not to be it.
Thanks everyone for the input though. Will post back tomorrow if they have figured it out or not!

Ended up finding my problem myself today when I went to start the car to take it to the mech's. Looking like the coil for cylinder 4 i think it gone, started the car and it was running really bad and only on 3 cylinders. Took the lead off for # 4 I think (not to sure as there are 2 leads that say 3) and the conection was all black, so started the car with this lead out and very small to no spark from the spark plug. Have taken it to my mech anyway as I can't drive around to get the parts myself.
Hoping they don't charge to much as I hope the problem ends there, Though I also have to do the vavle cover gaskets..... But the spark plugs or the inner bit of the spark plug lead is not oil coated. Could this have still caused this?
Sorry for going on and on about this but I am a little bored now sitting in a cafe waiting for my car to be finished!!!!

Sounds like a shit fight Tim...

Yeah, had to putter down to the mech to get it fixed as I didnt have the means to fix it myself.
It was lucky because they happened to have a spare coil also, otherwise I would of had to wait 2 days and pay $600 for a new one from Subaru lol
