Idle question ?

 

 

I recently bought 2004 Outback ltd. 2.5L, 4Cyl, Auto. Very happy so far, but noticed that, when at a red light, foot on the Brake, ideal dips below 750rpm (A/C is off). As soon as I remove my foot from the brake or put car into Neutral, Idle goes back to 750. Is this normal ?

Thanks,

sounds like a vacumn leak or vacumn related issue.

 

Get out the can o starting fluid and start sprayin when the engine is running.

If the idle dips or surges whelie your hosing vac lines.

Bingo, replace it.

Thats where Id start anyways.

Just wanderin if you have found a solution yet. I have the same problem on a 99. My mechanic said I dont have a vaccum leak. I am interested to hear what you have tried.

Sounds normal to me, all the autos that I have driven have been like that. Even the Germans.

I called Subaru Tech, they said its normal, nothing to worry about. He Suggested next oil change I have mechanic look at it. I have not seen this in any other car I have driven. I am not so sure its nothing?

Anyone with 2004 Outback 2.5L, 4 Cyl engine, if you can please let me know if your car is performing in same manner. That would be great.

 

good day,

Subaru Tech. checked my Idel Speed and said its normal, no error code generated. So that's it.

 

Not much else I can do.
