First of all, i have a 2002 Legacy 2.5 NA 4EAT with headers, CAI, axleback, pulleys and perfect power street tuned for 91 octane.
Lets start off with my problems.
I used to have an old map with perfect power that was custom tuned for my car for 87 octane with just the intake. The car ran fine with it until I put in 91 octane.... it would have a knock/stutter at 70km/h around 1800rpm specifically. It was quite noticeable too. However, I dont recall i had that problem if i filled up with 87 octane.
After a year, I got it tuned again for 91 octane with headers and other stuff.
This is where the real problems begin:
let say if I do a hard pull in 2nd gear, I could feel the car hesitates and doesnt accelerate smoothly. When the rpm pass 5000 rpm, sometimes I can hear "misfire sound?" It sounds like "bap bap bap bap"
Also, if i just cruise around or drive smoothly in D, around 70km/h at about 1800rpm and if i step on the gas pedal half way through in D (without shifting down) when I am going 100+ km/h, the car would stutter too. :S
I hope you guys can understand my explanation of my issues and help me to solve my problems.
I recently changed the plugs and wires but the stutter is still there...
By the way, I dont have any CEL at all.
