when on idle, the lights are on red and any other time when driving it goes up mid way on yellow. does this seem normal?

What make of AFR meter is this, a Dawes? If so, did you be sure to get the "Subaru specific" one?

Also, when you say the red light's on at idle, is it on constantly or does it flash on and off?

it'a an autometer gauge and yes it flashes on and off red.

Your Autometer should fly straight into the green zone on wot. If it doesn't - further investigation is required as your car is running lean as long as the gauge is plumbed in correctly

defo wired correctly..i think. but could me dv be a possibility? i think it's a greame good dv.

Brun

Nope - Your DV closes under throttle, so effectivly is taken out of the equation. If you are not getting green under WOT - do not drive fast - as it is deffo running lean - and lean = BANG!!!
I assume you have an RB5, so you could either have a maf issue or a Lambda issue.
Don't forget - solve problem before you nail it

i had the maf done under warranty a few months ago and has been running rather rough on idle since then. any idea's? i'm thinking it maybe the lambda sensor. could this be right?

Brun

The Lambda won't show up on the select monitor unless it's gone completely
The Lambda is very, very common at around 3-4 years old, so if i was a betting man - thats what i'd bet on.
Put a shout out to see if anyone is prepared to do a delta dash on your car, to confirm things
