Dont open the flap manually while its plugged in with fly by wire. You dont really need to open the flap anyway if you take the throttle body off.

I leave it on there. Get a screw driver handle to hold it open

You need an OBD II scan tool

I have had my car for 3 weeks and It has done this twice, the last time it shook the whole car badly where I thought it was going to die. I took mine down to to a subaru specialist who plugged it into the scanner. He said that one of the Variable Valve Timers wasn't working (passenger side) he unplugged it and cleaned all the shit out of it clogging it up. Put it back in and the fault was gone.

It's been driving fine ever since :) and it only cost me $30
