cars idle dropping and cutting out sometimes when stop
hi all.
just fitted fmic to my96 wrx.i tookit for a drive and the engine check light was on.found problem.it was a pipe off near the boost solenoid.car starts first time now no check light but,the engine revs when warm keep dropping right down then back up.once they settle and stay that way.once car is moveing it runs perfect.acording to the afr gauge my car isnt running lean on wot.what do you reckon could cause this? the ecu doesnt pick up any faults when i reset it.
is there anyone who in or near the midlands nuneaton who could try and shine some light onto the problem.
cheers paul g.

Mine was doing exactly the same same thing, If I turned the lights, heated rear window off it wouldnt do it, think its more of a grounding problem than fuel, having an earth kit made for mine now
