lhrocker Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 When I start my Soobie, the car starts up, revs and idles slow for a few seconds - up to 10 - and then revvs up to normal. It use to start go rev normally. I can try changing stuff, but I guess I need a bit of direction. Anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi! What's the model, year, mileage, and trans type? Maybe your idle air control valve (IACV) is gunked up? Any check engine light or anything? Any pattern like temperature, raining/not raining, does it when warm only, cold only, both, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhrocker Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 95 Legacy wagon w 2.2 automatic and 204K+ miles. It was really cold (20 degrees) the last time I tried it, but it's got other issues (tranny), so I'm just looking to see what is my next step. No CEL, tranny's not catching, after a short ride, there is some smoke by the engine under the battery. I'd like to get it to at least start and idle normal, otherwise it will be a tow to the mechanic and take my chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
