2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i Hesitation & Bogging Down
I'm close to 200,000 miles. CVT was replaced by Subaru about 6 months
ago.
CEL popped up about a month ago. P2096 - Lean Fuel Trim Bank 1. No
noticeable performance issues at the time. Replaced both O2 sensors. CEL
persisted. Two weeks ago, I started feeling a little bit of lagging / hesitation
when going to work @ 40mph. Not stuttering, but just a little lag in the
power. I cleaned and oiled my K&N air filter.
Last week, on my way home, car started lagging really badly. From a stop
light, I could not get the car above idle and it would hesitate/bog down and
then sometimes lurch. I idled home about a mile and barely made it into the
driveway (sloped uphill).
After some research, I thought it could be a fuel issue and replaced my fuel
pump yesterday. A test drive resulted in the same hesitation/lag as I lurched
around the block. It died one time at a stop sign.
I've read several forums and am considering changing the following:
1. Mass airflow sensor.
2. Plugs & wires (test coil pack)
3. Throttle Body (bad TPS maybe?)
Is there a fuel pressure regulator? I can't seem to find one.
