A friend of mine has a 94 Impreza with 125k miles that keeps dying on him. After he starts it, it idles at 1500 rpm, then drops to 1k, then quits after 5 mins. He's able to get it goin and drivin, but it will still just randomly die after it's warmed up. Any wise ones here know what could be the cause?
I kinda have the same issue with my 00 2.5RS. It starts for the most part BUT if i pull up to a stop light or stop sign, it will randomly stall, It might start right back up or i might have to pump the gas a lil... HELP I have ~183,000 Miles on mine. O wait time to get new car:yumyum:
crank sensor? my mom's mini van keep dying on her when the car gets warm up. we change the crank sensor and the problem never came back.
A crank sensor fault on a subaru would make it fail to start at all. x2 on the IAC, it seems to be the season. Tell him to spray a **** load of throttle body cleaner down the HUGE hose that connects to the intake (obviously the IAC side of the hose) let it sit and then restart.
Awesome! You guys f'in rock! I'll help him clean out the IAC, and try the fuel filter after that, and I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
Looked for the IAC but was unable to find it. Here's a link to a NASIOC write-up: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=781242&highlight=idle+air+control+valve Seems like it should be located on top of the engine where the intake comes in. Sorry for my newbness. And here's a pic of his EJ22: Any ideas??
Directly under the PCV valve on the upper left of the coil pack. Has the 3/4" hose running between it and the intake pipe, it has the vac lines for the pressure sensor running with it.
