well gas ain't the problem. i wish that solved it. i use 76 or chevron all the time. the tech said it started misfiring in the #2 cylinder. and some valves got damaged. and as for akita sure that might be true but no abuse has come to my car. yes i floored it. not like i held the pedal down and just let it rev over and over. really i am sure that when you get on the highway you punch it. even if subaru started to claim abuse i can have an attorny really quick.

I never said I don't drive fast. My car has NO WARRANTY at all due to all of the mods I have done. I can't even pretend to have a warranty anymore. But like I already said, your check engine light came on and then you floored it. I bet you probably caused more damage by doing so.
About a year ago some tool posted something just like this on a message board but he had taken his mods off before going to the dealer. A few people called that dealer, pointed to that thread and the dealer denied his warranty.

I thought I said this pretty clear.
YOUR car started flashing a CEL (check engine light) and you did the exact opposite thing you should do which is to floor it even though it sounded like crap and didn't want to rev. I really don't care if your car is modded or not, that is not what you do when the CEL comes on.
You must be about 17 years old.

1) Ray, you need the ground mod
2) green valley subaru is utter CRAP!
3) did you use lower than 91 oct? that's what it sound like. Maybe weren't paying attention at the pump, and grabbed the wrong nozel?
3) Chevron is not great for WRXs/STis. 76 is the most consistent with good gas.
