Scotty_scoobie Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hi all, I now own my second Impreza. It's 7 years since I owned my last one. This one is a 1993 wrx which I saved from being spares. It's a nice example for 22 years old but has idle issues. So any parts or information to help me get it sorted would be appreciated. I also want to swap the lexus look rear lights for the standard units. I live in rotherham so local breakers would be even better. Thank you in advance. 1
Scoobyghost Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Welcome to the club! What kind of issue does it have with idle? Does it differ from hot/cold? Does the issue vanish when revs are increased?
Gambit Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hello mate welcome to S.O.C Rotherham we have plenty of people local to you here. Sheffield Subaru Services hold the local meets for us and another club they might also be able to help with parts. Martins great bloke too. Can always speak with Sak too let him know we sent you should look after you a bit better with possible discounts :D http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/8946-as-world-performance-parts/
Scotty_scoobie Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks for the replys. Yes I noticed the Sheffield meets I will be going to a few when I've got it on the road. It is stuck on cold start so I'm going to replace the isc valve. Also the coolant pipe to the throttle body has corroded so no coolant passing through. The previous owner gave up because it's an early import he couldn't match the part numbers. Does this have to match? 1
stants Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Sav's your man with early imports, but technically anything from the same year be it eudm or jdm will be the same,
Scotty_scoobie Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Ok I'll get the part numbers and get a price from Sav. Thankyou again :)
stants Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 More for his wealth of knowledge but he does have a lot of spares in his cave that may be some use
savage bulldogs Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Hi and welcome to soc and glad to hear you've saved s early classic . When looking for Parts for the engine it's described as a V1 /v2 with a phase 1 inlet/fuel set up . A throttle body coolant by pass is a mod a lot of people do to stop warm coolant heating the intake air as it passes through the throttle body when the engines up to normal running temperature . So I'd just join the flow and return pipes together unless you live somewhere really cold all the time Have you done a classic self code check by plugging the connections together under the dash ? 1
Scotty_scoobie Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Hi savage bulldog. That information is brilliant :) no I havn't done the check yet. I'm actually a diagnosis tech for Toyota but just have a passion for impreza turbo's. I think they drive like nothing else on the road. A jap car with character :). I will do that mod then I just need a isc valve. I would guess mine is just the first version. It's a k reg wrx. Would you advise a performance air filter or normal air box and panel filter (k&n). My adaptor is damaged and it's only a cheap air filter. Was thinking original is better.
savage bulldogs Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Do you mean icv (idle control valve) as sometimes a clean and a code reset can improve things . First level of induction tune would be a panel filter and resonator delete . You remove the plastic "u" bend from under the arch liner , so it then draws cold air from under the inner wing through the free flowing panel filter
Scotty_scoobie Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Yes sorry that's a Toyota term for idle speed control valve. I'll have a closer inspection tomorrow. The guy I bought it off said it had fallen apart inside when he looked. I bought it as seen so to speak. It was cheap so I plan on putting some money into it. I'm glad I joined on here, learning a lot just in these few messages.
savage bulldogs Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 No problem we like to help out if possible[emoji106] It might have just been the gauze filter between the icv and inlet as that is a separate item that sometimes falls out on removal . As with anything I remove a normally use a new gasket on assembly . One of the Cheapest places for genuine good quality gaskets is Importcarparts websites worth a look to familiarise yourself with your version/phase as well [emoji6]
Scotty_scoobie Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Again really helpful, just looked at that website. I have ordered a gasket. Will be a bonus if it get it right for £11. More money to spend on other areas. I'll post it, but if anyone requires any Toyota advise from me, I'll be more than happy to help. 1
miles2102 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I have idling issues on mine it's killing me at the moment but have got 2 icvs knocking about if you need one. I had an issue a bit like that when I swapped engine out, turned out to be throttle body arm where the cable attatches to was stiff but only very slightly. Probably not your idling issue but everything's worth a shot I suppose
