Dinga111 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 New to the site but thought I'd share this. Try Bangood.com for parts, just bought a new IACV Solenoid for the Forester for $12 with free delivery. Not much to lose if it makes the engine idle perfectly again, cleaning worked ok but still idles a bit low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedpotatoechips99 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Welcome Dinga111, Idle control solenoid. Good idea. I would imagine that would assist with proper idling. "Still idles a bit low". Hmmmm. Let me think now, Spark plugs, air filter. HEAD GASKETS. I had an issue with the head gaskets, an INTERMITTANT issue, causing idle problems at random times, culminating in troubles after it warmed up fully. had to change those head gaskets.( I used Cometic triple/multi layered steel heaf gaskets. The best, except for maybe JE Pistons brand. ) Whereby, sometimes the idle was fine. THEN other times not so much. Fluctuations. Sometimes high, sometimes low. I think Ted Nugent sang a song called Stranglehold "sometimes you gotta start high, sometimes you gottta start low, some people think they're gonna die some day, I got news you neva got to go........." .
