Ubatz Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I have a 1991 Legacy with code 24 and it would not fire on cylinder one as per the usual in limp mode with said code. I replaced the tps and now it fires on all 4 and it's a new pre-calibrated IACV. Is it possible calibration is off? All the wires have been rebuilt/replaced that got to the iacv. I put in a new ecu and it runs a tad smoother now at least. Symptoms: -Cold engine must be revved to about 1.5 to 2k for a few seconds so it's a tiny bit warm to run decently enough. Warm engine is fine. -Idle is higher than it usually is. -Automatic Tranny; Shifts to soon and makes it bog and struggle to speed up -Overdrive engages and stays engaged until under 40 mph which it never did before. [Symptoms are the same across both ecu's except the old onw just made the idle a tad rougher.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Not having much experience with this issue or autos in Subarus I'd be looking for a vacuum leak. Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Sounds like the new TPS needs to be adjusted. Cold running issue could also be coolant temp sensor. Doesn't always throw a code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't always throw a code. I had it in a shop for the tps. They calibrated it for me. Thermometer and coolant temp are all working properly. And were recently replaced since they're a common problem for the car in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubatz Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Update, I was thinking of something else. I haven't done anything to the CTS. I've also heard the VSS can be a problem causer for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
