i have a subaru legacy 2001 facelift gt wagon.
wife noticed it running rough and engine light flickering on and off on low revs also a smell that i thought smelt like burnt electrical. could the alternator have failed but why would the eninge run lumpy and engine light flicker, Any ideas would be great

could be the engine check light can be triggered from the alt and effect idle on this model. . But shouldn't cause a burning smell first thing would be to check fault codes to point you in the correct direction
