2002 WRX stalling issue


alfie

Recommended Posts

I have a 2002 WRX wagon that has developed a stalling habit. There does not appear to be a pattern to it and no codes are given. Engine is in stock form.

 

It tends to happen at low speeds when slowing down for intersections and slow corners. Occasionally when changing down gears the engine will die while the clutch is disengaged. There are no other symptoms and happens very quietly and smoothly and is not noticeable until either the clutch is engaged and the engine turns over again or if stopped when I try to take off with the car not running haha.

 

It does appear as though the revs drop below idle speed when the clutch is disengaged but most of the time it corrects itself before it stalls.

 

Anyone experienced this or have any ideas on where I should start?

 

Cheers

It has an aftermarket BOV from when I got it but it is plumbed back. Could the potentially different spring pressure from the factory item cause an issue? I never really gave this much thought as the culprit due to being fully recirculating.

I had the same issue with my bugeye wagon. It tended to happen more when a/c or headlights were on (increased idle load) and in the same situation as you, slowing down to an intersection.

Removed intercooler and cleaned throttle body then ran a can of subaru upper engine cleaner through the motor. Cleaned MAF sensor and it has never happened again ~15,000kms

Hope that helps

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
