Power Button Only Holds The Gear For Longer Ie Rev Higher Nothing Else...
SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF YOUR SENSORS IS PLAYING UP TRY READING THE CEL CODE
CHEERS

Have a look at the MAF sensor that is behind the airbox, give it a clean but do not touch the sensor part, use electrical contact cleaner and give it a squirt there.

tried the electrical cleaner but no such luck.Now takin it to subaru,boo hoo i so didbt want to take it back there.Get back to you with what prob is and how much 2 fix $$$$$ lol

Well took it to subaru and thay couldnt find anything except the auto trans fluid bit to hot,so advised to change that and see how that goes.Didn't cost anything though have to be a first with subaru.Any way will be changing it and see how things go.

Wow, how'd you manage that?

well bacically we stopped taking the car there cause they tried to rip us off and basically we told em to shove it and they quickly realised we new a bit about cars and wat eva.so i don't no if this had anything to do with it,but im not complaining lol.

Ive Got A Subaru Imprezer Wrx And The Rev Limiter Keeps Cutting In And Out Any Suggestions. Ta

well i dont have any we did what subaru said and its still doing it so im lost at the moment?
