Thanks, was the APP sensor expensive and who did you get to replace it?

i would wait for other opinions first, but

Honda wanted $480 installed

i bought the APP sensor from oemacuraparts.com for around $180 delivered and installed it in 15 minutes.

Could be a number of things...
You can try to reset the ecu as Fredoops said. Or maybe certain parts are clogged and need to be cleaned out?
Have you tried the upper engine cleaner, they're about 25-30 dollars from Subaru.

There's a few DIY ECU resets in the DIY forums, have a look there~

First do a throttle body clean.Then get some Subaru upper cylinder cleaner and follow the instructions.Works a treat.
