car shuts off while driving?
I have a 03 wrx and yesterday my car started to hesitate and while I'm at a light. It stalls and it seems like it could be my fuel pump or fuel filter? Maybe plugs or coil packs? I have iradium IX not too long ago. Maybe I have to replace them again? I had a cel for my front o2 sensor but just got that replaced today. I thought that was the problem but now cel is gone and nothing changed. I'm thinking Im also having a head problem cause when I reach 5k rpm or higher, it has a knocking sound or loose metal ish sound. I don't think its my heat shield. Any ideas what my problem is? I'm not driving it around for now until I have everything fixed.

Well ive decided to get change my up pipe and recheck all my vacuum tubes. I've recently bought an sti catless up so removes one of the sensor. Hopefully that fixes something and if not then ill be considering the idle air control sensor

^ I had the same problem. I was driving from So. Cal up north and my car just turned off by itself on the free-way while I was going 60mpg. Needless to say I was hit from behind. Never did find out what caused that, but then again it's never been repeated.
