Guest Tony D Posted September 18, 1999 Share Posted September 18, 1999 Whenever I accelerate, and then take my foot off the gas, there is a slight vibration and low pitched noise that lasts until i accel again. I also noticed that the engine is pretty shaky when idleing... could it not be mounted properly? Also, when I first start up my car in the morning, it idles at around 2000 RPM's....is this normal? And if i dont let it idle for a few minutes and just throw it right into gear, the RPM's will usually start dropping, and the car will stall. What's the deal here?

Guest ShawnW Posted September 18, 1999 Share Posted September 18, 1999 Is it a carb model? If so the carb has a fast idle setting that is supposed to start and idle at 2000 rpms to allow for all the fluids to begin circulating and heating up better. I dont recommend throwing a car into gear... SHAWNW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moosens Posted September 19, 1999 Share Posted September 19, 1999 I agree,_every_Subaru I've owned(since'78)needs to warm up even in the summer.Ain't had but 1 fuel inj.(wife's '88 wagon),and it needs a minute to warm up too or it'll bog a little. Sounds like you have an exhaust leak,they can be tiny pinholes and still make considerable noise.Especially while down shifting in a standard.Or you automatic decelerating. You could have a bad motor mount,check by having a friend put it in gear and you watch for movement.I replaced 1 by just lifting the motor a little,you don't need a hoist.Might be the motor shifting enough to make an exhaust connection come loose.Good luck.

Guest Tony D Posted September 19, 1999 Share Posted September 19, 1999 I think I do have an exhaust leak, but i didn't know it was causing this... thanks. Also my catalytic converter is falling apart, so i need to replace that. Anyone got one for cheap? I'll also check the motor mount. Thanks again. -Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
