he only works monday-friday incase you dont know that. i really hate that because thats only time i can ever go his way:banghead:but his parts prices are really high you could buy some of the stuff from subaru for what he wants.

I was driving out on Sandy here in Portland and spotted this gen 2 so I pulled over and took some pics hoping the owner would come out! anyone know it? It had stickers on the back window and on the tailgate a sticker that said heavy metal.

I need help!!!!

 

I was driving home and my car started idling super high in Neutral so i pulled over and checked it out..I found the source and am confused on what to do now...It appears to be a vacuum leak so I called a friend who is a car guy but not sure about old subarus and he said just plug it with something until you get home and take it easy since I had my 3yo with me and we were about 15mins from home. Well i covered it with electrical tape and made the drive home the idle returned to normal but it started to get jumpy in 3rd and 4th kinda felt like it was going to stall but kept going. Now since I have no idea how to explain it I took some pictures and maybe you can help..I looked through my repair manuals and the only picture I can find that has this valve doesn't have a description or anything so Please help if you can.

look for hoses not hooked up and see if you can find where it goes. if that port doesn't go anywhere cap it and put a hose clamp on it so it doesn't leak. and hook up that loose hose i cant tell if it goes on that other port or not from this angle. what manual do you have? i looked in my factory ones and couldn't find that port so i will look at a couple ea71's tomarrow.

So today I found where my brake booster is routed so just plugged that vacuum port up for the time being. I also installed a new Accelerator Cable and man does it feel better, and while I was at it I messed around with the idle ajust screw to get a better idle. My Tach is reading about 500 rpm while idling does that seem about right? I just went with what sounded good.
