hey there guys, i need help on me 99/00 sti. i've just got an FMIC installed with the pod filter and all, when it idles it sound like its going to stall. its just dies when i stop at a red light or when ever i stop. what do you guys think it is. i was think of adjusting the throttle cable....

Dont touch the throttle cable.

Check for leaks in the FMIC piping.

my99/00 WRXs have fragile AFMs. It may be on its way out.

Just run over it with your 4x4.

YOU FAIL.

Oil from a shitty oiled pod filter on the AFM ????????????? Buy some "contact cleaner" & give it a spray.

Have you moved your BOV.If you are venting to atmo or dont have enough spring pressure if using an aftermarket BOV then it will leak at idle causing problems you have described.

Good idea. Set the throttle to about 50%, should have no stalling problems then.

check all the piping sounds like a leak had same problem with a 180sx that had a fmic installed.
