Its been rather cold to work on it, but i went out and cranked it up and adjusted the throttle cable until it idled real good, about 900-1000 rpm. it ran and idled good for about 3 minutes and the rpms started to go up and down until it shut down. it will crank back up but shuts back down after a little while. i just read the replys tonight and did not check the pcv valve yet. i did check the vacuum hoses and took the air filter out and looked at the map but it looked ok (no dirt appeared to be there) i dont have a lot of money to waste, i did replace the plugs and wires but didnt notice if i got the ngk plugs or not, its a chalk mark on the map sensor looking like to me it may have been changed before. i will check the pvc in a few days, snow storm suppose to be coming in. i put some foam injection cleaner in the tank and i cant tell much difference. i cant hear the fuel pump running but it must me to run as long as it does. i took the gas cap off and still could not hear it either. check engine light is on, but can get it running long enough or scared it will break down before i get to autozone. they have a checker.i pulled the access cover to the over the fuel pump access area and used a screwdriver against my ear and still dint hear it but it would still crank. does the subaru have a switch that cuts off the fuel if the car turns over.. any more ideas would be appreciated . thanks
