My 90 Legacy wagon is having what seems to me to be a very odd set of
symptoms. At low RPM and throttle it stutters like it has a plugged fuel
filter. I figure it was over due for one so I replace the fuel filter but
there was not change.
Now for the odd part, it has a wondering idle when cold but doesn't stutter
until it warms up. Also it seems to run fine above 3500 RPM. This makes
5th gear all but unusable. My mileage hasn't gone down and I don't see any
signs if it running rich. The check engine light has never come on either.
These symptoms don't add up to me. If it were consistent across the RPM
range, I'd think the fuel pump is getting weak. The car has 172k miles on
it and I guess it's about time for things to start failing.
