well i was driving my car last night and it was running very smooth reving like normal and then it lost power and sounded like a subaru again, what causes this ? did anyone here experience this issue with the ca? my guess is a coil pack catching a cold then when i stop it really sounds like a subie power isnt there and it runs on 3 cylinders or maybe can it be an injector ?

Could be coilpack, also check ground to coilspacks. My injector clips are missing the little metal lock'r clips and they never give me problems.. so its possible, but i would probobly go go with coils. Maybe igniter. If you need any coils, i have like 5-10 extra..

Yep, sounds like a coil is dying once its warmed up. Eventually it'll stop working altogether. I ended up getting a remanned one at autozone. They are pretty cheap there. (~$40 iirc)

Part # is C856. Just look under ignition for an 88 or 89 pulsar with the 1.8L. Current price is $42.99. Remanned just means the coil was rebuilt with new parts.

If nothing else, let me know and ill get you some. 20 bucks for coilpack, less $ if you want more. If you can get them remanufactured, I would prolly go that route.

this happens to my VW all the time, the coil packs take a crap monthly. To figure it out just start up the engine with one coil pack removed at a time, if the engine doesnt change when a coil pack was removed, you found your bad one. done this numberous times on the side of the road. lol i carry 4 spares in my truck
