2008 subaru legacy problem

Asked by Cameron May 21, 2016 at 09:30 PM about the 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Special Edition AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So I recently put in an cold air intake and my vehicle was
driving well at first butime  then I started to notice it was
loosing throttle response. I took it home and turned it off,
then turned it back on and tried to reverse and it starts
jerking and the rpms were bouncing. It does the same when
I put it in drive! So I eventually backed out of my drive way
but the car only let's me accelerate to 20 mph or lower. Im
not sure what to do. I've pulled a code  p2109. The car
sounds bad when I idles. Idk can someone help?

So Ive recheck everything all connection are secure. I checked the MAF and cleaned it. Nothing changed. Could it be the throttle sensor? Also my cars mileage is 53,000

Hmm,. 53,000 miles?? I wonder why you're having so many issues? Did you really get more performance with the modifications?? And, how much?
