Hi All
Can anyone tell me (in breif) how to set up the idle on a Legacy1 (90-94) EJ22 motor? Still putting things right and shaking down do make reliable (only had a few weeks)
Things like what voltage across which wires on the throttle pot, throttle air gap etc. and common faults to look out for?
It 'hangs' on the idle like it's too rich after a blip, but not always. Might be a knackered cable...
Idle seems a bit high too, then I found the split in the servo hose - but still not quite right.

That 'd be great if you could
I was meaning to track down a copy, but there are two different ones on amazon...both Haynes.
My engine is from the early 90-94 Legacy 1.
Cheers,
Ian

Not in a tearing hurry as it's not the daily driver (yet)
Now have an intermittent misfire under acceleration at about 3.5 - 4k.
Must be another air leak! Found missing hose clamp on IACV (sprayed carb cleaner down the inlet) and went for a blast around town.
Idle now at 700rpm, but now lumpy.
Have to check plugs.
Too many hoses! What should the middle crankcase breather tee connect to other than the inlet manifold? It was open to atmos...plugged it for now.
Some jerk has made a mess of this for me...
