Cutting out at the lights and again when the fan kicks in when sitting in traffic just had major service including cambelt any ideas dealers have checked and found no faults it is going back though

Are you running an atmospheric BOV?

Get it checked for a boost leak, sometimes unmetered air can screw around with the engine management system.

jabbroni

No just standard recirc m8

Go to the RB320 site.

chopperman

He has and were all scratching our heads. My first thought was something that would have been disturbed during the cambelt service like crank sensor but that has been checked by all accounts.

MAF or air leak is my guess.

jabbroni

its at the dealers my Defi gauge for boost had a looos pipe from the dv but ive cable tied that on its at the dealers now

jabbroni

Back from the dealers all sorted apparently needed summat sorting with the ECU must think i f'n stupid lol.off home first roundabout cuts out ffs got home told dealer to drop me off a courtesy car with fuel in it this time and to fookin fix mine on the third attempt and that i was getting a little peed off as this car was running fine until the Cambelt service i mean FFS

Sorry to be pedantic, but, I'm assuming work was carried out at Alexandra/Newcastle Subaru? First roundabout is at the top of the road, you could have coasted round it and back to them.

Hope you get it sorted, Michael, nothing worse than intermittent faults.

Sorry for the rant its just my ex lives along the road so I have been along 3 times now to browse , look , chat , etc
There won't be a 4th
Back to your car
As Richard said give the Maf a clean if they get disturbed they can play games
Also check your air intake all pipes & air box connections

Can you borrow a MAF off someone to try as I suspect your problem lies here & often no code comes up for this failure which is why the dealer can't fix it as if their computer doesn't tell them what's wrong they can't think for themselves.

MAF.

Doubt it's the maf, the only thing that ever caused my scoob to stall was the cam sensor being faulty and that didn't throw up a fault code for ages

chopperman

Would you unplug the cam or crank sensor when doing a cam belt service?

jabbroni

Yes right dealer but i stated the wrong roundabout was the first out of my estate

jabbroni

Cam and crank sensor checked i was told.

Alyn i may well be over to see you soon Rob from palmers and i are in contact about this i have been offered a MAF to try off another RB320 owner great blokes us lol. it is very intermittent it did not happen on the way back to the dealers.

I will be looking for alternative peep's to look after it from now on.

Thanks for the reply guys

chopperman

See that's the thing with intermittent faults. They could check the sensors but they would appear fine if the car was running at the time of the check. The fault would only show if the test were done while the car was broken down. Trouble is your problem doesn't render the car in a non working state long enough to test what part is not working.

stockcar

i have a test MAF if required also.....

My blob wrx was doing exactly what he describes, David from API said it was the MAF so i swapped it for another that a mate had sat doing nothing and the problem went away.

jabbroni

Ta Alyn i'll probs be in touch then

My V3 STI used to eat them, put 3 on in 6 years before going MAFless & always behaved how the OP describes. Never a fault code but the new part always fixed it.

jabbroni

I appreciate and understand all the issues mentioned here but she was perfect before the damn service

TonyBurns

Check the plugs around the sensors, may be loose or not 100% seated properly.
Also did they reset the ecu after the service? that could highlight a new fault.

Tony

jabbroni

Not sure Tony about the ECU reset i checked the sensor plugs they seemed on properley Sigh ;/

RICHARD J

Common for MAF to fail after a service due to it being disturbed when air filter changed

Drive the car through the showroom window, tell them you found the fault, the brakes are fooked

jabbroni

STI panel fitted about 3 months ago so told then to leave the filter change i checked it was still there when i got her back i'll give the dealer a call tuesday see if they've found anything ????
