Hunting
 

Any1 know what might cause the car to hunt at idle ???

I am thinking AFM tried cleaning it but didnt fix anything. Car runs fine if once its going but jsut hunts at idle.

any thoughts ??

air leak some were......

yeah definitely a air leak well that be the most likely culprit

Fucked AFM?

workshop....

Motec?

AFM with out a doubt. 99/00 AFMs suck ass.

if you have no joy after cleaning the afm.....

also try cleaning the idle stabilizer valve (its the small cylinderical thing on the throttle body held in by 2 phillips head screws and has one big plug) i found my plug was susceptible to moisture from my tmic waterspray but once i uplugged it, sprayed some contact cleaner in there it worked alot better and didn't seem to 'hunt' anymore

i personally think this is a fuckup on behalf of subaru to put something like this plug so close to the bonnet scoop where water can easily get in there, i quite often see that water calcification (white shit) on that plug

oh yeah & clean the inside of the ISV with carby cleaner or upper engine cleaner as it can get a bit oily gunky from oil blow-by in the intake if you don't have a catch can

worth a try before shelling out for a new afm
