Right chaps im wanting to do various things to my car 2 days old to me
Im wanting to have the mirrors so they fold in when cars locked is this posible
Also thinking of a larger spoiler 2009sti hatch atm any photos of anyone fitted

Also ive noticed the car has a slight rough idle when everthing is off its about 600rpm and drops and car judders and goes back up now ive had the air con on today and it dont do it when its on what could be causing this ?

1. You need a folding mirror kit, dunno if they are still sold, Major sarcasm on here used to do them.

2. Mine's a classic, so no spoiler pics, sorry.

3. Could be a the MAF on the way out. Substitute a known working one. Don't believe the "tricks about disconnecting etc to see what happens, they don't work.

If it IS MAF, get it sorted asap, a dodgy one will kill your engine

Oh, and some idea as to what car/model/year, is useful when asking for info

Guesty

Thanks il try and find a kit for the mirrors
No problem with the spoiler
And ive rang the garage i bought it from Saturday car has 6month warrenty

Sorry my fault
2009 SUBARU STI HATCHBACK

Video of the idle

There's definitely a problem there. your fuel gauge is faulty...it's reading above empty.

Seriously, the idle could be MAF related. It's not as bad a some I've seen.

Does the car have any mods?

Guesty

The garage i bought it from said its fine all subarus do it and its got forge dump valve AEM induction kit and rear exhaust that i know off pal

the fuel gauge is normal. thats not the low fuel light

the idle also looks normal, they idle very low, and it'll jump if you put on aircon etc

is it standard car? or what all has been done to it?

has it been mapped for the induction kit? if not then it will idle different - id similar scenario when i fitted a cold air intake, the rev's dropped a little at idle until it was mapped for it

also, the difference between std airbox & induction kit airflow is massive on them so you really need it mapped for it

Guesty

In the video how the needed drops and lifts i didnt turn anything on when i do it idles and stays there dont bounce like in the video

Thats not a rough idle.

You sure the fans aren't kicking in and out.

Guesty

No there not the car judders when it drops like its guna stall

Gambit

iTrader: (6)

so is the car mapped for the intake?

Guesty

I dont know

Guesty

Has anyone hurd of the idle reset where you disconnect battery could this of caused it as when i viewed the car 1st time was flat couldnt evan unlock with central locking amd they only had it 3 weeks

Guesty

Daft question could it be the altonator
As ive just got these readings


Engine running everything turned off




With AC on

Got my A/C regassed last weekend and it was near stalling when it kicked in. Guy said i may be the compressor (or was it a pump) on it's way out. Well , whatever you call the bit on the A/C that gets belt driven !

Gambit

Its a 'smart' alternator it only charges when there is increased load, what you are seeing is perfectly normal

If you do not know if the car is mapped then id advise you to either contact previous owner or else take it to a mapper to letthem check

Gambit

iTrader: (6)

Also, its not idle reset, its an ecu reset which has occured when battery run flat, all it does is clear the correction tables but car will adjust again after a few miles driving. It will not overwrite/wipe anything else

Guesty

Ive never seen any car judder on idle i dont know how people think its normal :/ it might just be me worrying with it being my first scooby

Gambit

iTrader: (6)

My car, an 09 sti, did exactly the same when i fitted the induction kit prior to mapping hence why im saying repeatedly get it checked out because if its not mapped it will be running lean now

The idle dropped even though the ecu thought it was still running at same idle rpm

Guesty

Right il try n see if its been mapped in past cheers chaps

Idle after fitting induction kit, not mapped

Idle after mapped for induction kit
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...pscmxcyaqr.jpg

In both instances the idle target value was the same but clearly the induction kit was effecting it in someway

Guesty

What are the roughness monitors and idles all over place look

Would help if it was the right way round. Has it been mapped for the AEM or not? If it hasn't, refit the standard airbox and filter instead of making little videos.

Guesty

Sorry about it being side on i dont know about the map yet and i dont have a standard box or i would fit it car came with the filter on

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

Have you enquired about the map? Or getting it mapped?

If you are driving it at all and the MAF is faulty, best of luck......

Guesty

No mate im returning it to them next week i dont think i should pay for a map when the car was supplied to me like that they should fix it as it was supplied to me with the fault so if it needs a map they can do it at there expence if you get me

iTrader: (4)

Don't touch a single thing on it otherwise they will blame the faults on you.
Take it back and don't accept it until it's fixed

Guesty

Ive rang them booked in next week also rang a mapper to see if they can check if its been mapped and he sed pluggingit in wont tell him if its been mapped gota do a dyno yest @ £100 :-0
