I'm in Europe, have a diesel 2011 Impreza, has about 90'000 miles on it. Runs fine except for this power cut problem. Detailed symptoms:
- When I demand for moderate to hard acceleration, RPM rises but power abruptly cuts between 1700 and 2200 RPM
- The gas pedal is dead from that moment on
- Ignition is still going, though, because:
- As soon as RPM returns to 1000 (either because I coast and let the engine brake the car down to there, or because I disengage the clutch), the gas pedal is live again
- It doesn't happen if I keep shy on the gas (i.e. not require much torque)
- To describe it another way, it feels like it cuts when the turbo is supposed to rev up
- Never happens in 1st gear
- Can't make this happens in neutral
About timing:
- Doesn't happen when car is start-cold
- Happens after a minute or two after engine start
- Disappears after 10-15 minutes of normal driving
Any idea what this could come from?
