Ok, so I drove my wrx all the way to standish yesterday to have mike look at my car for a front diff problem. then I drove back to my house. in total 80ish miles and my car ran fine. Today I start my car and go back in my house before I get ready to leave for work. I leave my driveway and the car is running fine I get up to 4th gear 3,000 rpms and my car chugs hardcore like if you were running out of gas but then recovers pretty quickly. I start rolling down the other side of the hill in netural and my car stalls and the battery light comes on. I stop my car from moving and start my car again no problem. I turn around and park my car in my driveway. First I checked if the altenator was bad by removing one cable to the battery and the car still ran. I then checked the battery and the voltage was fine. So I called Mike up and he said it might be bad gas. So I went and got some 91 octane at cumbies.in a 5 gallon gas jug. got home put it in my car while it was running. Then I notice as im pouring the gas my whole damn car is shaking and making the noise that a Kazoo would make ( the stupid plastic noise makers things that you get in cereal boxes). Next I notice that smoke is rising from around the intercooler area. that's when I turned my car off and started this post. ekk help I hope this is something easy to fix.
