Car is still throwing egr and mass air flow codes. It has been running rough but it would stay on and get me to and from work. I have a previous thread on here from a couple months ago.

I have cleaned the mass flow sensor and egr valve, replaced cracked air hoses and vacuum hoses. idle air control does not pass the tests offered by the Haynes manual.

after I replaced the air hoses, I cannot keep the car on, it wont even make it to the end of the driveway.

 

Money has been tighter than tight, but I have a bit of a bonus and a lot of overtime coming on this next check. I have not been able to find any parts at junkyards in my area, and am thinking I need to break down and spend some money if I want to drive my car.

 

Mass air flow sensor is my first thought (and the cheapest one), ebay has them at affordable prices. I know subarus are finicky about parts, anything I should look out for on this?

Then either idle air control or egr valve. again, ebay is most affordable by a long shot. since these are mechanical I cant see a problem buying discount parts.

 

I just want to get the car running for a while, so I can get to work and then get it to a mechanic in month or so when the money starts coming in again.

 

what are your thoughts on this?

 

thanks
