Hello bubbles, welcome to the forum. I'm moving your topic to Technical Q&A...
Without more information on your problems it's very hard to pinpoint/diagnose a solution :dunno:

Hey bubbles welcome aboard 
,
If she's backfiring then she's running rich, over
fuelling .
As for cutting out ???
What mod's if any..... or any changes to engine set up ??
I had to replace my battery recenlty, car just went dead at idle or when slowing down !!!
might be that.

it doesnt have any mods, some times at idle it dies but mostly when im slowing down.
is the backfireing bad for the car???
and the odd time the check engine light comes on but then goes back off?!?
can you help me any futher?

the cutting out could be your idle control valve. happened on my leggy. would cut out occasionally at the lights etc. but the revs would always dip very low.
Hey Bubbles Contact Damien AKA Renno (Street Performance)
He's a club sponsor and in the traders section . He organizes mapping
days every couple of months.
There's loads of info on this site as to why you should get a re-map
use the search bar at the top of this page.
MAF sensor is the Mass Air Flow sensor..............but to make it easier
you could call to a Subaru Main dealer and get a diagnostic check on the engine
cost 50...............basically they hook you up tp a computer and tell you what
senosrs faulty etc.........maybe none :dunno:
