High idle on startup from cold.
 

Hey folks, recentley the car (sti v3) has been idling high on cold start ups, about 1.5k rpm, am i correct in saying that its either the MAF and/or ICV?? If so which i do suspect it is, just for confirmation where is the MAF and ICV and is carb cleaner the correct stuff to use to clean them up???

Cheers dudes:thumb:

mine does the same (03 STi) I presumed it was normal?

it could be, mine kinda sounds ruff till its upto temp

My 93 classic wrx starts up on cold about 1400-1500 and then drop to about the 995-1000 when warm i think this is pretty normal

a high idle on cold start up is normal.

ok thats good to know, should i give my maf and icv a clean just to be on the safe side?

if it aint broke dont fix it.

just part of scooby ownership i think!! mine idles about 1200rpms when warming up, the gear shift is a little reluctant until the oils circulated, an the brakes need a little heat in them to work best......... I call it character the wife calls it noisey, bumpy and impractical. Can always get another wife.
