AFM? They tend to idle all over the place when they shit themselves.

afm was replaced about 2 months ago.. have only done like 1000kms on it..

cleaned the idle air valve with throttle body cleaner.. Then disconnected battery for 20 min. Then connected it back up started the car, let it warm up and it's still doing the same thing.

Do Subarus have idle air volume learn? I work for Nissan and when you do throttle body clean on Xtrails and Pulsars, its required to do a idle air volume learn/close throttle learn after with consult/scan tool. Not sure if its the same with Subaru throttle body.

my car has a power fc. not sure if that makes any difference.. No CEL are coming up at all..

Today i warmed it up until the fans kicked in.. It was still hunting but i noticed that when i turn on the A/C the idle sits at 1400 and stays there. as soon as i turn it off it starts hunting again.

i thought i could be the sensor on the dump pipe, as it was sitting in my back yard for the last week, I cleaned the carbon build up by heating it and they spraying it with brake cleaner and wiping with a cloth. At first I thought it had fixed it, but as soon as the engine warmed up it started hunting again.

Im not sure what else it could be as the only things that have come off the car that i thought could have caused this is the intercooler and dump pipe, but i cant find any problems at all.
