Yea I replaced that Aswell. When it starts it's spot on 1000rpm and then slowly increases.

Sounds like you got a leak, have you tried adjusting the icv?

If its idling at 1300 from a cold start its fine but it should`nt be up there when its up to temp, Tap the accelerator to see if it drops, If not more than likely an air leak.

It's still staying at 1300 when up to temp, where is it most common to have a air leak?

No 2nd part from one of the breakers on here. I also give it a quick clean how easy should the end move on the icv.

It should be fairly easy, side to side if nots not moving. Possibly another knackered icv?

There was an artical in the last Total Impreza about cleaning the ICV by ScoobyClinic.

Keep your eye on it as the problem could reappear (could not) - I had an old 5 pot bravo that used to do the same with the ICV. Hopefully you have fixed it though!
