    1999 legacy gt 2.5l intermittently runs like crap

    so I was driving my car home today and it started to miss a power stroke every now and again then it got worse and worse until the car finally just shut off. it would crank and start for half a second and then die immediately. if I could get it to run for more then half a second it ran like half the engine just wasnt doing anything. at first i thought the fuel filter was cloged so i checked that and it was fine. i can hear the pump turning on but i cant check fuel pressure so i'm going off the assumption that the fuel pump is fine. theres no codes or pending codes and the problem seems to come and go. when its gone o can bring the car all the way to redline when its there i can bearly get the car to run.

    found the problem. The crankshaft position sensor was bad. replaced it with a new one and the car runs like a dream now
