hi there,

my car is ticking over funny and seems a bit hesitant in 1st and 2nd.....did a fault check and came up with 24
is the pic at the bottom the "idle air control solenoid" ?

if so......can this be removed and cleaned easily? it looks like it can be adjusted by twisting it......should i be careful of moving it? i dont want to take it off until i know i cant mess it up.

thakns in advance.

bds.

 

anyone?

 

Can you tell us what model/year your impreza is please. Im not expert, but it sounds a little like it could possibly be a failed MAF, but im probably wrong...

 

its a late 95 bud.

but its idling funny and the fault code is the idle control solenoid so im gonna try that first.......just wanted to confirm which it is.

 

Badly drawn scoob
Yes it is the air idle control valve
If you can see the four bolts behind it...........undo them and take it off the manifold, give it a clean.Take the surrounding pipes off etc etc..........then look in the hole in the manifold and you should see a plastic circle bung.....pull that out and give it a clean...........just be careful with the gasket as you take everything off

Does that answer you query????

i was just gonna unscrew the 2 screws on the top!
