Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

4 Cylinder Misfire!!!! / What's Turbo lag feel like?

My check engine light threw today then cleared, and then threw again so I bought a code reader and it says my 4 cylinder misfired.... Any ideas on what could cause this? I wonder if this is the problem I when I stomp the throttle and it almost feels like it's studdering up to speed? Is turbo lag a studder or just "slow" at low rpm's?

Help!

is your car an automatic or stick? As for the misfire, check the spark plugs or take it in to a shop and have them check it out. When you say studdering is it barely accelerating and shaking a lot?

Oops! Posted it in the wrong place! Oh-well, Yea it's a stick, and yes it's a bit shaky and accelerating slow... But I've never had a turbo car before so I don't know what's normal.
