Hi all. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Sorry to the admins if i have posted in the wrong area of the forum - please feel free to tell me off lol - and move the post!

I have a classic shape Impreza WRX - year is a 1999/2000 on an X plate. I have a faulty Idle control valve, and i have found a 1997 model on a R plate in a breakers yard, which according to the yard still has the valve connected to the throttle body. The yard is some way from where i live, so before i go trecking off, i just wondered if anybody could shed any light as to if this valve would be the same as mine or if the engine changed in any way in the years between 1997 to 1999/2000?

I have asked the yard, but they do not know the answer to my question.

Any help would be much app.

Thanks in advance.

Snowmantbr.

yep the 1998 to 2001 are different EJ205 but im not 100% sure they are the same idle valves i would say they would be different.

Hi Billy. Thanks for the quick reply! Ok well at least your honest 'im not 100% sure they are the same idle valves'. Thanks my friend, much app. for your input! Im just on my way out now, so i will check back again later, and see if i have anymore replys. Thanks again.

P.S. My car is not with me at the moment - but here is a link to a pic of the kind of valve it has fitted to my car incase that helps anybody. http://www.partsgeek.com/assets/rep/...60-1032765.jpg

Have you tried cleaning your old one? Usually a clean with carb cleaner will sort these out
