2001 Subaru Outback Repair Question
Asked on October 24, 2011
I have a 2001 Subaru Outback 2.5 and when the a/c engages the engine stumbles and almost cuts off. It feels like it is losing all power for a second or so then idle fluctuates and smooths out. Any ideas?
Seems to do it mainly when warmed up.

Could be caused by one of the following below
Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.
Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing.
