Hi there. I have recently bought a 96 wrx sti ra and I am having a few problems. Think the idle control valve is about knackered. Revs go between 1000 to 1500 then settles when engine warms up. Found a few second hand replacements but I cant find a gasket for them any where. Any help much appreciated.
Car also goes into limp mode if I give it the beans for too long. Is this related to my idle control problem?
Thanks for any helpconfused:

 

have you checked for error codes in the ecu ? go to subaru for a gasket

 

managed to get hold of a gasket today. have done the test joining the connections under steering column engine management light just flashes consistently which i believe means there is no fault. Car wont even start now.
