Hi guys,
I'm pretty sure most of the Sydney crew have known about my battle with rough idle for ages now. I've had rough idle issues with the car since 7000kms, and Tom Kerr Subaru have looked at it many times and not been able to provide me with a solution. I'm pretty sure alot of you have had similar problems with dealers.
I spent the last few days playing around with the car and found that after changing spark plugs, the rough idle had mostly disappeared. Although still not satisified with the idle, I unplugged AFM and started car and was noticable that there was no rough idle. Took off the AFM and to my surprise, half of the sensor was covered in black soot. After cleaning with a baby ass wipe, idle has basically disappeared and acceleration is alot smoother. My next question is, do subaru actually check the spark plugs during the service? and do they even bother diagnosing problems with the car if it's been modified? When tom kerr had a look at my car the first thing they said was it was a bad tune and that I should take it back to MRT. hmm its too bad the car has never or ever go to MRT. BTW gotta thanks mike for all the tips and pointing me in the right direction.
Anyone have problems with their idle?
