1990 Subaru Legacy Hesitation / Check Engine problem PLEASE HELP!

[Lucas]

Hi,

I have a 1990 Subaru Legacy 2.2 non-turbo automatic transmission car
with 125k on it. Recently the car has been a little hesitant off the
start - almost feels like it is about to stall when I initially step
on the gas leaving a red light or a stop sign. The check engine light
has come on and off intermittantly since I bought the car. If it comes
on a simple turning off the car and restarting gets rid of it.

Yesterday however the car started driving horrible. It seems to have
NO power at all. Almost feels like the car is running on three
cylinders. It will go through phases where it spits, sputters, and
backfires then "catches" and seems to run ok but still does not have
the power it should - struggling up hills, etc. I am going to replace
the fuel and air filter tonight as well as add a fuel injector cleaner
with a tank full of premium.

Is there anything else that could be causing this problem and does
anyone out there have a list of subaru diagnostic codes so I do not
have to purchase the entire manual? Thanks!!

struggling,

Lucas
