P1 idle problem
Hi folks my p1 once warmed up doesnt idle very well at all and i think its the idle control valve! Whats the best thing to clean the valve with or am i best off just getting a new one? Where is the best place to get one and does a normal wrx classic shape engine have the same idle control valve?
Thanks,
Ry

Try cleaning it - worked on my 99.
Remove the electrical plug, Undo the two screws and pull out the piston.
Clean the piston and inside the bore with a damp cloth or a bit of brake cleaner if its really bad.
Just remember the small rubber washer on the end of the piston - its very easily lost / broken and the ICV won't work without it.
