05' Outback with a 3.0L Engine

Asked by boscon57 Mar 14, 2019 at 10:54 AM about the 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R L.L. Bean Edition Wagon

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Car loses power and the RPMs go up. This happens just driving down the road.  
I shut the engine off, wait 10 seconds, start it back up, it runs fine. No rhyme or
reason when it's going to happen. I was told it was plugged catalytic converters.  
It seems if that where the case it would be constant. I hate to spend that kind of
money and still have the problem. When I say loses power I mean no power.

I can see where that would come to mind. In this case though, the engine revs without my foot on the gas and goes higher when I put it in park to shut the engine off.
