Hey got a 1995 subaru GX wagon phase2 engine 2,2L ok my car runs sweet here n there I drive it to work everyday winter and summer no problems.
When I drive up a steep hill and get to the top and then stop or stop at traffic lights my car all of a sudden has power and starts to idle ruff the tone of the engine goes deeper check engine light come on and eventually I have to pull over and turn of the car this problem also happens when I open her up a little driving in higher rpm then usual what could be the problem????

I've tried eliminating factors that contribute to this
Fuel service, spark plugs, leads coils , sensors maf,tps,cas,ips,eks
Like I said car drives perfect until a climb a hill and get engine problems has anyone had this before cheers

I have

Have you checked the code/s?

[DARNSKi]

Nope as the check engine light will come on only when this occurs then when I turn it off it goes away if I plug it in with a scanner with out the check engine light on will the code still show up ???

Depending on the scanner, you go into history codes.
It shows the codes that came up between the last ecu reset and now

Instead of turning it off and restarting the engine, make it do it several times on the one engine start. That should cause it to actually log a code rather than just tell you there's a problem.
