HELP! maf sensor problem???!
Hi. i have a 1995 import wrx and a few weeks ago its started cutting out at junctions and when slowing down with clutch in. i changed fuel filter didnt help. so i got a second hand maf sensor (green label) i disconnected battery and fitted new sensor.left batery disconneted a while then tryed starting it. at first it ran ok but only for 10 seconds before cutting out.then after starting it a few times it ran but very lumpy after 2000 rpm and engine check light is now on. any help would be great.

I had the same symptoms as you (cutting out after 10secs-ish) when I forgot to replug the MAF sensor in after removing it temporarily so I'm guessing you're on the right track, perhaps it's the wrong type of sensor or not coneected properly??

Re the ICV look at the link below for a pic of one, (it will be just below the intercooler on the right hand side,(mounted more centrally on later models try cleaning it with some brake cleaner, (do not remove it without a new seal as you will never get the old one back in)..
All this is assuming your symptoms turn out to be the ICV ofc. I could be blowing up the wrong bagpipe so to speak.

To do a proper ECU reset on a stanard newage Denso ECU you need a laptop connected to the OBD II port with the necessary cable and software, there is no other way.
Classics yeah you can do it - look on Jolly Green Monster's website.

FYI that doesn't reset the ECU on a newage it just clears certain CEL's if the problem's been resolved.
