I've been reading through old threads a lot to try and self-diagnose my problem, and was hoping to get your feedback before I end up taking my car in for service?
2003 GTI VR6 24v
131K on the clock
Always take it in for scheduled maintenance
Like the thread title says, if I get on the gas too much the car makes the "Subaru WRX" engine sound and at idle the RPM needle fluctuates more than usual. I've individually pulled each ignition coil while the engine was running and EACH one, when pulled, caused the engine to run worse so I don't necessarily think it is a bad coil. My next thought is that it must be a fouled plug but is there a way that I can confirm before I start replacing them? Any other thoughts?
