Currently im having an intermittent starting / idle problem sometimes when I start the car it idles really ruff then stalls or if I drive off when its idling ruff it stalls, I also get a CEL light.

When I read the fault codes there are none, also after 3 or 4 successful starts the CEL light goes out.

When the cars running it run’s absolutely fine, im suspecting that it’s a fault with the idle speed control valve as the car doesn’t get used much im wondering if its sticking.

 

anyone????

 

what car model/year ect.. will help mate

 

i had the same problem with my03 wrx a couple of weeks ago,really "lumpy at idle and trough low gears the check light finally went off and seemed ok after about a week Had it sorted at api A new valve from the stealers was £320 but david at api got me one for much less pi**ed me off because car hadnt missed a beat for two years

 

mines an 04 wrx
