Revs up and down on tickover when stopping car
Hi, ive been having a problem with my car when it warms up and im driving it and then stop the car, the revs go up and down for about ten seconds then level out back to normal. The car feels like its going to stall but doesnt. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

There are no codes showing up. The guy who i bought it off just put a new k&n style cone filter on, The original MAF was left on. How do i test the MAF to see if its broken?

Its got a green lable so unless its the wrong one on there i have a spare one. Will give it a go in the morning. By the way, Would brake cleaner kill the MAF if i cleaned it with that?

It should be green label on version 2 Wrx, what year is ur car is it uk or import, and yes brake cleaner will destroy it, cus it's ment to be dry and brake cleaner leaves a residue like some after market filters that need oiling, hence go back to factory with a green cotton panel filter

Right guys, i took off the ICV and gave it a good clean out and put it back on and still the same. I removed this then put a different ICV on and still the same soi then went for the MAF as I had a spare green lable MAF and put this on and it threw a check engine light on straight away which means this spare one is knackered, but i cant understand the original MAF isnt giving any code or warning? Any suggestions please?

Mafs don't throw codes unless they do not work at all. A maf that isn't reading right will still be seen by the ECU as working, so hence no code.
Hope this helps,
