This is a 2007 outback 2.5i pzev with 5-speed manual transmission. when accelerating from a stop, the engine will bog down unless the engine is revved high prior to releasing the clutch. when it bogs down, the result is very slow acceleration. this is especially dangerous when turning left in traffic. to get the car out of this mode, the clutch need to be pushed in again and the engine revved to a higher rpm. once the clutch is released, the car lunges forward and accelerates quickly. there seems to be no way to accelerate smoothly and quickly. this problem only occurs when using gasoline with 10% ethanol and is much worse with mobil regular gas. *jb
