2005 Forester Low RPM under 1k?

Featured Replies

hello people,

 

i just put a new motor on my forester 2.5x and when i started the car it starts right up but for some reason my RPM are falling under 1K 

 

I think they stay around 500 

 

My engine light is on and its says that i have a bad MAF sensor another problem that i encounter was that my EGR valve is making a Scratching noise I don't why ?

 

Can my MAF sensor and EGR valve be causing my car to have Low RPM keep in mind if i drive the car it drives like a champ but when I am in parking or at a light my RPM will fall under 1K and sometimes it will shut off on me 

 

 

Any ideas??

Idling under 1k is normal. 700-800 is about right

 

Stalling/dieing is not normal. If you've got a code for bad Maf I'd change that tout first and the figure it out from there.

okay i clean it alittle bit and the EGR valve is working alright again it looks like that my Injector are taking in air because when i spray them with carbulator cleaner and the car started to idle and then it stop 

 

I did put some universal O-rings on the injectors because they were leaking fuel 

 

i Think i have to buy the original O-rings and see if it stops
