In a previous post by John - in the US, 00 - 01 (maybe more years) ej25s do not have a MAF, they are MAP only. Excuse my ignorance - my vehicle is an ej25 and is a 2001 legacy - could this sensor actually not be the MAF? I will google the difference now! As I'm all a little lost over this matter

Thanks , re the idle problem I'm having and I have just checked all the pipes and hosing to make sure that all is good and it seems to be! What else could be the problem when my vehicle which runs beautifully just won't idle and the check engine light glares at me constantly? I've as previously mentioned up'ed the revs manually so that stalling isn't as frequent... It is an automatic vehicle so I'm having to drive engaging neutral often to allow acceleration to prevent stalling.

Thanks, will def take a look at all hosing tomorrow . I guess the question I'm asking is that if the MAF sensor is disconnected at the plug switch should the vehicle behave any differently ? Could it idle correctly should the MAF sensor be faulty and disconnected?

Hi thanks, unfortunately I'm located in east Africa where Subaru help is limited... The device we plugged in seem to be impressive and obd2 compliant and spat out a little receipt informing us of an error p1141 mass air flow status/ value 0.00. However to confirm those results is what I'm dealing with... On the one hand the blinking check engine suggests the above faults and then this machine tested MAF to be faulty. Where to from now? Do I take a gamble and replace the MAF sensor believing that to be the cause of stalling engine? It will take a week or so to get the part down from Kenya and at a cost I would imagine so I understandably am trying to be sure. I did for the record take out the sensor and give it a gentle clean like expressed in other forums and on the web, yet it didn't seem to help. Any further thought would be greatly appreciated!

My vehicle after a long drive recently started cutting out/stalling at idle. It was a very hot day. After much research it seemed to be an electrical problem. The MAF sensor?? However diagnosing the actual faulty sensor is what I'm up against. I watched a video on a guy disconnecting the MAF sensor as his vehicle was also stalling and on disconnecting the sensor the vehicle idled fine. I tried this on the legacy and it didn't idle fine - it stalled immediately. Any advice would be very welcome. I will say this that I've naughtily manually increased the accelerator revs so that the vehicle won't stall. I also drove for 6 hours of rough roads yesterday as I needed transport - all with the check engine light on. The vehicle went perfectly without fault. I did for the record connect the green plugs under the steering and do the manual fault check and count blinks on the check engine icon - there we around 5 faults - 19/21/49/51/53 and 55. Some of which don't exist. I love my car and any help would be great. Thanks
