help it keeps cutting out
hi
my 94 wrx ra keeps cutting out when i slow down to stop at junctions some times it doesnt cut out but idles really low (600-700rpm) and if it stays idling for long it starts to rise and fall and will then cut out it also blinks on the check engine light when driving but it goes off again i have checked the fault code and it was the sensor up on the right next to the throttle body (think it is called the idle control valve ?? ) but i have changed this but still no change im fairly sure this is an air leak some where but i have been unable to find it :brickwall also it is is decat and running a scoobyboard and sti4 tmic and hks dv and hks induction kit and apexi boost controller and has been running this this set up for well over a yaer with no problems anybody have any idea what it might be??? thanks chris :wonder: |
Does it do it all the time, or only when warm/cold etc?
|
seems ok at cold
but the cold start idle seems a little high 1500rpm but that settles down ok it doesnt always cut out at juctions and when it does it drops the idle down to about 600rpm and to stop it cutting out i just blip the throttle a little |
anybody got any ideas what it might be :wonder:

Check for air leaks, if none are found try replacing the ECU Temperature sensor, they are only a few quid.
