Jord Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi all, I have just purchased my first Subaru Impreza WRX STi type UK and have a few questions as to the engine tick over. It seems to be slightly lumpy on idle/tick over almost as though there could be a slight misfire ... Not sure if this is normal. I've filled the car with V power. Any feedback would be great as the car is under 3 months warranty just in case it needs to be sent back!! P.S. Does anyone recommend any Subaru specialists in the Manchester area which I could potentially use for a diagnostics test. Kind regards, Jord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Wotcha and welcome Jord - yes lumpy tickover is part of the Scooby charm due to unequal headers feel free to get stuck in with the forum and dont be camera shy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jord Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys! Still thinking of taking the car in for a diagnostics just to be sure everything is ok! I was looking at prosport as it isn't too far from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGD Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi and welcome :D I always found that a lumpy tick over is a subaru's way of saying service me you normaly find that when its ready the revs drop to about 400 and its lumpy give it a service and should be sweet again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
