Fault code 24 need advice
Having probs with my engine light coming on when driving. See my old post
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=487579
I have reset the ecu checked the codes all clear, Then went out for a drive light come on I stopped and done another check and come up with code 24 (Idle air control solenoid) does this mean it needs replacing, cleaning and will it do any damage if I keep driving.
Thanks guys

I seem to remember trying to clean it a while back, as per instructions, but I seem to remember that I gave up trying to clean it because I couldn't be arsed to take the TMIC off (to access the bolts that hold it on).
I'll have to take another look.

You could try sourcing an MY97 IAC from breakers, should be easy enough.
What about wiring to/from it , does that look ok ??
It is not unknown to have poor earthing in scoobs of that age.
This may not solve your particular problem, but may be worth a shot.
Try getting hold of an earthing kit or make one up, Halfords (IIRC 10 gauge) wire, with some connectors.
Run from battery earth, to strup top, couple to engine points.
I will put my flame suit on at this stage, and say my MY97 ran better.
I cannot explain exactly why, maybe it could be something to do with ironing out any voltage drops due to bad earthing points; i just dont know.

Cleaned it out and no luck still doing it. So it's got to be a new one. Is a WRX one the same as the STI V3 one?
Thanks
