Hey guys and girls, I'm new here, but figured this was as good a question as any to serve as my first post. First of all, I drive an '06 Impreza 2.5i.
On Thursday while at work my car died and I had to get someone to give me a jump. After work when I went to drive home it started up alright, and I made it back home (35 miles). But then yesterday I went to go to the store and it almost didn't start on me (barely turned over) so I knew it was time to go get a new battery.
I took it down to Advance Auto and got a battery and had them throw it in there for me. After about 5 minutes of driving with the new battery in the CEL came on and the car started randomly stalling out while shifting. Not a hard stall more like it just shuts off completely. I took it back and the code coming up is p0506.
I checked and I don't see any loose vacuum hoses or anything like that but at the same time I'm no mechanic. I just don't see how this could happen after a battery change. I've had this car for 3 years and I've never had a single problem until this. Anyone know what the root cause of this is or what I should do? Help please!
Thanks!
