89ChevondaSI Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) I got my car sunk in water and fried the ECU. It would run on 2 cylinders finally determined that it was the ECU. so I put one from an Outback in it. It started and idled at ~2k then would drop to 1200rpm and the check eng would come on with a P1507. and it would run rough. tried two different ignition modules and same problem. then I decided to take the IAC off and clean it and put the cone that goes behind it in there(I forgot it when assembling the engine). Then still did the same. so I took the top of the IAC off and messed with it a bit. now it doesn't idle and if it does it idles at ~450-500rpms....tried messing with it more and adjusting it and it wont change the idle. I NEED MY SUBIE RUNNING AGAIN! i miss it. any advice is helpful. thanks Edited July 14, 2012 by 89ChevondaSI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbennett2u Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 since it stopped idling when you were messing with the IAC I would start by replacing the IAC with one from a junkyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89ChevondaSI Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well after messing with things and trying to get it running i can get it to idle all weird. But iv found out it needs a cylinder 1 injector. It is stuck open. It runs better with a vaccum leak. Then it also is running really rich. I have power and ground to it. Then I can't hear it with an extension like the others. And it runs the same plugged in or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbennett2u Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Flooded in freshwater or saltwater? You may have corrosion and electrical problems regardless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puhi Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 p1507 will put the car in limp mode which cuts the #1 injector. replacing the injector won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
