Got it! Thanks Gambit :-)

May be you can email it to me?

Meh...it downloads but the I can't open the file

Not working in my phone, will try at work later. Thanks :-)

Oooo...that's one of my favourite words ;-)

Is this worth buying?http://www.emanualonline.com/Cars/Subaru/Impreza/Subaru-Impreza-Workshop-Manual-(93_96).html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwnZShBRDfxqzr55rcyMEBEiQA1iRNPzXLZ8D3yDHsVlw61w2WPWlzWeSTaO5XtcfXXQvWSe0aAor08P8HAQ

That's correct. Normally it will sit steady at circa 600 but occasionally it doesn't drop down and stays at 1200-1400, sometimes more

Oh...to explain. My idle isn't rough or pulsing/hunting...it just, on occasion, runs at 1200 or 1500 or 2000! Like I had my foot on the pedal.

Hi Gambit Yup, just cleaned the MAF and throttle body. As you say, plugs etc next although in my little head I don't know why that would be it (and several people have told me it could be that). I thought bad plugs or shorting coil would result in rough, spluttering idle

Meh...definate improvement in acceleration/pick-up but bl**ding idle still being silly. Mmm...plugs, leads and coil next. !Removed!

Both the Forte and CRC stuff from g'ole EBay. Have cleaned both now (throttle body and butterfly valve were a bit dirty) and will test drive later. Wanted to clean tcv too but think I need a new seal bag before dismantling. Could be wrong, as usual.

Aye...pain in the butt. Cleaning air intake and maf today. Smoke me a kipper

Not much of an update. I have 'cleaned' the engine using Forte engine cleaner and Forte injector cleaner. The result? Much improved acceleration and general smoothness but the idle prob still present. Waiting for some MAF cleaner to arrive then, with the Forte intake cleaner I already have, will give all the inlet stuff a good clean.

Idle problem not getting any better...someone has suggested that the IACV could be gummed up and on YouTube there is a vid of someone cleaning it using Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner. Does anyone have any experience of this? Carl
