car just threw two p0519 cel's one says "pending"... looking to borrow an IACV to test on my car before i buy a NEW one. anyone in SF bay have a spare one or willing to swap for a few hours? willing to trade a deck w/ aux in or speakers for ur troubles!


03 wrx wagon all stock NOW as in no power mods and has about 89k... has rough idle but drives fine at higher rpms.

 

bump

 

maybe just needs to be cleaned? I have a new gasket for the IACV in 510 area, if you can't wait for mail order and local dealers don't have it.

 

yah i've tried to clean it... and opened it up and gasket expanded i replaced that oem and still same thing. THANKS anyway!

 

GL anyway!

 

I know a lot of people don't clean the IACV all the way, so I'm just throwing this out there in case you only took it off and wiped it down until it was shiny. Unfortunately, there's a writeup on NASIOC about just taking it off, grabbing a ton of q-tips and going to town. However, that doesn't clean it completely.

Here's the correct way: My IACV cleaning writeup - NASIOC

That magnetic part can get stuck if there's gunk in it. If you already did this, then disregard my post, and good luck finding a spare. Maybe a pick and pull near you?

 

thanx, i DIDN'T do this initially but i DID see this after i tried to clean it.. i didn't pull it apart cuzz i don't have that weird torx... was trying to avoid doing so much extra work and instead borrow a working one. but it looks like i'm going to pull it apart after all though since i can't find one locally. the junkyard/auto recyclers here in SF don't get newer subys lol.
