hello all, still trying to figure this out after countless research.
car is an 02 wrx and is stock. The car is throwing a cylinder 2 misfire code but that's all.
What the car is doing is it kinda bucks at low rpm(1000-2500) or so but when it gets around 3200-3500 rpm it basically acts like a fuel cut and just accelerates soooo slow in mph and the rpm climbs very slow and has no power. I also don't hear any turbo spool or anything either(I don't have a boost gauge) The car is for sale at a little dealership and for a reasonable price but they don't know anything about these engines so I would like to find out what it is and fix it. What I have came up with from research are below of my best guesses but feel free if you know what it sounds like.
1.dirty MAF
2.bad coil/plug on cylinder 2(I don't think it would cut off boost though would it)
3.boost leak
4.cat pieces lodged in turbo
also I know they said they had to put a new battery in so maybe it needs an ecu reset but I also noticed at first that the two green plugs under dash were pluged in and I saw that and unplugged those since they don't need to be plugged in.
Im lost though on what it could be doing this thanks.
