I no a bit whats wrong?

martinmace

the car wont idle under 2500rpm but if i squeeze the breather pipe next to the maf sensor it will come down according to how much you shut the air flow off???????? its a 93 wrx if this helps

MK5RST

Hmm, split breather pipe causing air leak?

cossie1

sounds like an air leak to me m8

I have a similar problem with mine, however I was told by local scooby specialist to remove the intercooler and check the gasket on the back of it as this is a common problem with them.

The other thing to check is the maf itself, with the engine running, disconnect it, and see if the engine cuts out (mine does) which means the maf is working fine, but if yours doesn't cut then this might well be your problem.

HTH

thanks i will give that a go.

Sounds like the idle control valve to me , take it off and clean it with carb cleaner, should work fine then , may have to drive it a few miles for it to work OK.


They are expensive to buy new about £300
