Hey folks, recentley the car (sti v3) has been idling high on cold start ups, about 1.5k rpm, am i correct in saying that its either the MAF and/or ICV?? If so which i do suspect it is, just for confirmation where is the MAF and ICV and is carb cleaner the correct stuff to use to clean them up???

Cheers dudes

 

mine does the same (03 STi) I presumed it was normal?

 

it could be, mine kinda sounds ruff till its upto temp

 

My 93 classic wrx starts up on cold about 1400-1500 and then drop to about the 995-1000 when warm i think this is pretty normal

 

a high idle on cold start up is normal.

 

ok thats good to know, should i give my maf and icv a clean just to be on the safe side?

 

if it aint broke dont fix it.

 

just part of scooby ownership i think!! mine idles about 1200rpms when warming up, the gear shift is a little reluctant until the oils circulated, an the brakes need a little heat in them to work best......... I call it character the wife calls it noisey, bumpy and impractical. Can always get another wife.
