TREAT THIS!
I just put TECHRON Fuel System Cleaner (20 oz., $9.95) into my gas tank. I'll let you know if it helps. As I said, I'm starting to get the intermittent rough idle (on startup) for a few minutes again!

TECHRON fuel system cleaner
No change in performance [intermittent rough idle] after this cleaner used. Now I put in some octane booster>> No change so far!

ZOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
Seems like I get a little more power with the octane booster! Have to race my wife (we go off at stop signs often) soon to really tell.

Looks like I get to join this merry group too
About 3 weeks ago, I was sitting in the car waiting for Cass and was watching the rpm's (had always been fascinated with how smooth and constant they were) - anyways, the rpm's begin to drop and I notice the car begin to rock..."I say, I wonder what that is" says I (note: much more colourful language used, and to remain used for the rest of this topic in addition to hair pulling In 'N' I apply more rpm to see what it does and I notice that the smooth engine note has what appears to be a miss or something our of synch...at about 1500rpm to 1700rpm the car begins to chug and die!! All manners aside, I cry "what the fire truck is going on" Has been doing that now at that rpm speed, which is a pain when in 'D' and driving, then going to accelerate and the engine and transmission (clunky changes) have a meeting, decide on a course of action (meanwhile, I am facing oncoming traffic!) then decide, as I press the accelerator furiously, to unleash all the power at once and whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeey off it screams down the road, transmission slamming back a gear or too, Cassie belting me into the head and me protesting "Its the car" I have no &^*^ idea...will try changing air filter, fuel additives then driving off a cliff

IDLE SCHMIDDLE!
Since your twist on the no guts/rough idle syndrome occurs at a specific RPM range, maybe a Throttle Position Sensor clean job is in order. If interested, do a search on TPS cleaning (I think Trevor or other common poster). Involves removing TPS, then squirting electronics aerosol spray solvent into small hole in TPS (while rotating sensor shaft back and forth) to clean electronic "rheostat" inside. Pretty easy to do!
Good Luck P.S. Have you cleaned your throttle body and AIC? A little harder to do, but highly recommended by many here for a plethora of ailments!

Cough n Splutter!
Hi Guys, and to think I joined this thread to chase a fuel pump problem!
I've given up on all the plug/coil changes, there's no problem there. Another mechanic friend put a fuel pressure guage in line and reckoned it was a bit low (wish I could remember what it was) Changed the fuel filter (no difference) and got hold of another fuel pump. After looking at the diagram at <http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=421-B> I thought I could remove the pump and change it WOW! How the hell did they get that thing together? I thought I read a post about having to be like an octopus, but I don't think they would be double jointed enough for the job! But the real scary bit was when I looked at the plug to the fuel pump and saw that the wiring had got hot and was melting off the plastic coating After very carefully putting it all back together, I rolled the car to the middle of the front yard with teh doors and boot open and started it while standing on the out side! I'm still here to tell the story, so it didn't go BANG (this time) Now thinking of a second fuel pump up front somewhere Must also clean the PCV valve. Attachment is photo of fuel pump plug lead that connects under the tank cap. Arthur.
