Eikari Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 When i start the car cold, it sometimes runs very rough and the rpm start to descend and finally it stalls and it shows a CEL light. I checked the code and it was a Error code.24, which is the air control valve. Is it the same as the idle air control valve or is there a another air control valve on the engine that i don´t know about? The car is ´91 Legacy 2,2.

Legacy777 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yeah, that's the same idle air control valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eikari Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 The IAC valve is very expensive. I cleaned it last summer and the car idled smoother for some time. Last thing i want to do is to buy a new one because i´m a student! What can i do to make it last longer, cleaning it or some adjustments?

edrach Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 No adjustments, but I do remember a thread posted a short while ago for cleaning the air control valve. If yours is an automatic transmission car, I have a good working used one available (check my post in the for sale section). The IAC valve is very expensive. I cleaned it last summer and the car idled smoother for some time. Last thing i want to do is to buy a new one because i´m a student!

Eikari Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 I´ll probably get a used IAC valve soon at a parts sale. But does a IAC from 1.8 or 2.0 subaru engine fit to a 2.2? Are they the same or is there some difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
