Low Idle
Hello... This is my first post... So go easy on me.. I've searched the thread, yet still haven't find my answer. I have a 1998 Legacy 2.5 for some reason my car tend to idle really low at around 350-400. Is that normal? I remember the car used to idle around 800. My car has 67,000 km could it be time for a tune up? But I just got my engine rebuilt a year ago. I'm lost now. Please help this helpless noobie... Thanks..

Re: Low Idle
Disconnect the negative battery cable for both problems. This resets the on board computer. Time seems to very. I've been told from 5 minutes all the way to and hour.

Re: Low Idle
ermn, mine idles @ 250-300 or so most of the time. I never thought that would be a problem, though if it is I suppose that would explain a couple of my stalls.

Re: Low Idle
FYI, the tachometer starts at 500rpm, so your car is running at 600-700rpm, which is perfectly fine.

Try cleaning out the Idle-Air-Control Valve. If its gunked up, you'll have idle problems.
