Newbie here...looking from some advice to why my engine would be idling really rough. Here's what I got
06' Outback 2.5i NA - I drive 500-600 miles a week from school to work and home. Shes got 138,000 miles. I do every checkup in the book. Timing belt has been replaced, head gaskets has been replaced, axles all have been replaced, and so on...
So I notice oil was in my spark plugs. I decided to replace the spark plug wire set and the valve gaskets and valve stems. So I followed the instructions on the forum and everything went smooth, expect for that rear bolt, it was a bitch getting the out, but alas it worked.
Got everything put back together and decided to clean the MAF since I was already under the hood and its an easy job to do. After doing this, I started and let it run for 10 mins since the battery had been disconnected from replacing the gaskets, everything seemed ok.
I took it out for a drive to get gas and started noticing it was idling really rough at stops. Then when I came to another stop, it dropped rpms and stalled. It started right up without a problem, but every time I come to stop it will either die or come close too.
Any ideas? could it be my fuel injectors have taken a ****, or the throttle body needs to be cleaned? I'm not sure. I did have to disconnect the fuel injector sensors to get my valve cover off, not sure if that messed anything up. But yeah, any help you can give me so I don't have to go to the shop would and spend my tuition money would be great.Thanks
