  1. I remember reading this years back. After looking into it... crap idea. Thanks anyway ;D
  2. How can I tell if the IACV is stuck open. Can you \'open\' it to have a look inside and its obvious or ....?
  3. Doesn\'t hunt but revs are very high. If the IACV is stuck open I\'m presuming its stuffed and I need a new one...? Cheers
  4. Hi All, I have just bought an Impreza to get me to the snow. Only catch with this one is that it has the following symptoms that I\'m hoping someone has come across before or may be able to offer suggestions... Car starts and runs fine apart from a strong smell of exhaust fumes as its warming up. If you take it for a drive, it drives fine. When you come to a stop the engine idles at around 2000RPM. Its CHEWING through the gas I\'m thinking of the following... Remove and clean IACV Cleaning out the throttle body with upper engine cleaner (just with the air intake off) Replace MAF sensor (not too sure how likely its this) Car doesn\'t have any codes logged. Any help appreciated.
  5. You love the interior though right?
  6. Not sure if comparing photos of yours would be helpful to ya guys
  7. Haha I love this *hit, ar'nt you at uni smurff? Reminds me of the shit kicker I had to show how to use a broom the other day, miles away on a building site dreaming of a life in finance but can't sort the basics, destined to work at maccas with a degree (my sincere apologies if you are not at uni, seem to remember it from somewhere)
  8. Aaaaah, so it has happened before! Maybe this is a 3-plug BE/BH issue... But WHY is the big question, hmmmmmmm. member sorting my auto sparkys back to front wiring, I get same CEL code maybe once every 2 weeks, seems to happen when you start car then turn off for whatever reason then start again quite quickly again. As mentioned above doesnt effect driving whatsoever so have just lived with it. Strange though, my guess was diff pressure sensor not liking ssq controller over ridding it (you prob already know that though) cheers
