I have a 95 Subaru legacy that stutters and bucks when I take off either at a stop light or stop sign. When I make turns, either left or right, it does it. I don't know what it means. You can feel it throughout the entire car. It's not a raddeling sound or a clacking sound. It's not getting the torque I guess you can say when I take off. Do you know what it could be or what it sounds like it could be?

Lack of acceleration, chugging, hesitating, bogging etc. Could be caused by one of the following below:

Possibilities: Inspect and test all the following listed 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.
False air leakage.
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.
