subaru360 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I don't recall the code number but it was an idle control code for sure. It would idle really high on startup then surge some, stalled once in a while too. The intake manifold was a little loose. I found it by spraying carb cleaner around the base of the manifold. Did you just have the engine apart on this? You really have to tighten it down good on new gaskets or they don't seal up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
