I had this exactly on my MY00. It was the MAF. You will find other possibilities such as ICV by doing a search on here, but get it checked asap. If it is the MAF you could cause serious damage by doing nothing. Mine cost £90 from subaru dealer.

it's connected to your airbox/induction kit and has an electrical plug connected to it.
not sure on late model classics but takes about 5-10 mins to change
Have you tried the stalling test (car running you unplug maf ,if maf good car stalls)?

If it is MAF and you have to buy one make sure they don't try to flog you the housing aswell as I think that then bumps cost to £200 or so, you will just need the sensor itself. Had mine fitted by dealer but would imagine it just screws in lol.

thanks people! are idle/rev problems commonly caused by maf or icv on a 99 uk turbo? heard that 99-00 uk turbo suffers with maf? what is the probability of maf sensor?

you can either check the maf voltage and confirm or just change the maf anyway (as at least you'll know it's done and right)
They don't seem to throw a check engine code.
Remember to reset the ecu after changing the maf though.
And as stated you can just get the maf sensor itself. Have a search for part no. on here or send me a PM tomorrow and I'll find it for you (have a box somewhere) They are held in by 2 tamper proof torx bolts and (if it's on the original maf) you'll ahve to break the small tabs off inside the torx bolts with a small screwdriver or similar and then undo. It may well have been changed before though.
