I have a 1995 Subaru Legacy AWD Wagon the L model with 200,000 miles. When it is cold outside my car runs completely fine, there is a small leak where you put the gas in but other than that the car runs fine. Whenever I drive the car when it is hot outside when the car is in any gear the car hiccups, in other words it jerks like its not getting gas for about 2 seconds and then if you step on the gas you can keep going. But then it does it a few times in a row and I usually have to restart the car to start going again. Then the car will run fine for about 15-20 miles and then do it again. We just did an oil change and changed the spark plugs and the wires. Does anyone have any ideas? Please Help!

When the outside temperature hits 91 degrees and the air conditiioner is on inside the car, the engine begins to hiccup and I have to turn off the air conditioner. The car has 120,000+ miles and is the first Subaru I've had to go over 100,000 miles. I like the car and want to keep it awhile yet. PLEASE help since I drive on high-speed NJ highways to school.
