Idle control valve gasket help
It's on my never ending list to do, if you take it all apart there's a diaphragm inside which would be better off being replaced instead of re used, And What ever you do don't unscrew the two Philips heads on top of the sensor without marking them 1st at least, if that goes out of alignment you'll be Tring to reset the idle forever

Looked at 1st scoob. Wondering if to buy????
As long as it's had regular services (oil mainly ) & don't smoke etc should be fine loads of classic owners on loads more milage than the one you viewed and still going strong, the 97/98 cars do suffer from more piston slap than other years but it's not anything to worry about

Hello &welcome, @savagebulldogs is your man re the plugs etc, The cambelt should have been done at least twice more by my reckoning the official service schedual was 3 years 45k but it gradually got a bit longer as the years progressed, ie 5 years 45k 300 miles isn't too un realistic out of a tank driven sensibly, they are only small on classics though, 45l I think

Gauging interest: Cobb tuning V2
If you went the the whole hog and did the access tune bit you'd be able to map on the dyno with this and a laptop, but I don't know of anyone in the UK that uses these apart from gtr owners before syvecs and others became available, seen some foucs st owners talking about them too, The general consensus is the 'best way' to map subaru here is full live mapping, How much does the flash map take into account for the different ron fuel ?

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
No mate, been driving for a good hour and a half in stop start traffic, couple of things sprang to mind, A, it was just really hot, water was close to 100° on and off,oil was mid 90's as she'd been sat in traffic crawling for about 30 mins, it was only after i'd gone about half mile up road when temps began to come down, that it triggered, B, I read that some people had had an issue after washing with water entering scoop and causing a fault, 1st time i've ever seen it, Never get it from cold start, it felt like the waste gate was stuck open as it didn't cut so to speak, just nothing and then it all came back up. C, she just doesn't like outdoor life after being garaged for 3 years not used to the cold and throwing a wobbler or the sensor housing is damaged, Anyway reset last night, drove to work fine plugged into evoscan when o got her when for a drive, knock values were the same as any other logging session
