I have been having a problem with my idle for a while, the old story of dropping down at junctions then bouncing back up to normal.

However, by problem has got a whole lot worse today.

Having fitted my new Apexi induction kit (in place of my pipercross kit) the revs now sit at 2000-2500, then drop and hunt between 1500-2000...then my CEL light comes on and i have a misfire.

Noramlly i'd guess either an air leak or wrong induction kit.....but both my brother and friend have fitted the same induction kit to their WRX's in the last few weeks without any problems, and the is no leak to be found.
Have also tried with 2 different MAF sensors, but no difference with either.

All i can guess is idle control sensor.

Any other suggestions?

Is the dump valve leaking? I know of a few Jap (HKS etc) DV's that have causesd simalar problems at junctions.


Check the CEL code with the connectors.
