I have a 2002 forester (2.5L engine) stock standard. A few months ago I started getting a surging issue when cornering hard, I just put it down to maybe with only quarter of a tank of fuel it wasn't getting picked up in the tank as it was thrown to one side.
Just recently on a 36 degree day the car was fine at 100 but if i put my foot down it surged and felt like the engine was starving. I parked the car for 1/2 and hour at the shops and when i got back in, it was a lot worse. under any load it was breaking down. I eventually got home let the car cool down overnight and it was perfectly fine the next day. I took it to my subaru dealer for a quick look at and there were no code issues.
The car had be fine for a couple of weeks even in moderate heat.
Today I just returned from a holiday (4 hr drive) the outside temp got up to 34 and the car just started to play up again only under heavy load but was quit drivable. I stop at a friends house to pick up my dog for about 1/2 hr and when i got back in the car to head home the last 20 min. of our trip. the car was the worst its ever been. lucky to get over 40km slowed to a crawl up any hill. Eventually got home. let the car sit for 2 hrs, took it for a drive and it was better, it would accelerate but was still breaking down under heavy load. P.S. noticed that my fuel light stayed on for 15 sec after i left my friends house with 3/4 of a tank, its never done this before.
From the above would anybody be able to shed so light on whats going on with my car. Cheers
