Default help!

posted the other day, not much luck. ive just got a 94 wrx and having problems. firstly when i start it up, itll start fine and idle at about 1600 for about 3 secs then die completly. restart it, same thing. ive found if i keep the revs up and drive for a few mins, come to a stop and itll idle fine.
also occasionaly ive noticed itll cut out while im driving, it doesnt stall but i lose power for a second or two then it comes straight back. any ideas please guys?

first of all, reset your ecu and go for a little drive. Then check for any CEL (check engine light) on your dash. If you get one then proceed to check for the error codes and this will point you in the right direction.

I cannot remember the website but do a search on here for saxonfield and it should point you in the right direction.
