I took the car out today ,was out for maybe 2 hours .the car was running fine ,just a nice steady run .
I pulled up at a junction and the car was ticking over about 1500 rpm ,on setting off car was slugish and wasn't particularly responsive very juddey even when accelerating..
the engine has had a FULL service .plugs,coilpacks,timing belt and tensioner ,oil and filter and air filter...

any ideas what the problem could be ?

cleaned the throttle position sensor and checked all vacuum pipes

I've had this on a few of my subaru's and I've never managed to find out what the problem is. Only seems to happen after I've been driving around or a few hours, you pull away and it's sluggish until you get to about 3rd gear and the power seems to come back again. Checked the oil, water, plugs, fuel filter air filter, oil filter, O2 sensor, idle control valve, everything I can think of but I still get it from time to time. I've had it on turbo cars and non-turbo cars aswell
