S reg uk wagon issues
hi there my s reg uk turbo wagon has a few issues but can't help thinking they are linked via one common problem. Firstly the speddo and odometer have stopped working, yet all other guages are working fine. Also as i approach roundabouts the idle drops to 0 and either picks up or cuts out. If it picks up it will be very lumpy and ranges between 200-800rpm. The cel is intermittent so is in and out of limp mode.
Any ideas welcome, i will check fault codes in the morning.

Just as a precaution check the earth strap to the battery as mine was having trouble starting and throwing up fault codes and all it was down to was a dodgy earth strap that had a crack at the end that bolts to the battery also try a ecu reset by disconecting battery for 30 min then reconnect and go for a spin and see if it throws up any more codes

What model year? S will cover MY98 and MY99 cars.
Easiest way to tell is pop the bonnet, if the coil pack is slap bang in the centre of the inlet manifold then its a phase 1.5 engine and an MY99, off set to the right and its a phase 2 engine MY99.

But still have no speedo and after reseting the ecu i am still get getting the 24 flash code. Any ideas?

A little update, Idle seems to be alot smoother but does still occasionally drop right down but not cut out. I will try re cleaning the IACV, /what is the best stuff to use as i only used a little spray of WD40. Would a release agent or brake cleaner give me better results? I also removed clocks today and am now thinking i may have to pay subaru for a new speed sensor as the clock is not cable driven.
