Not sure what the problem is, but 500 rpm seems a bit low for idle. I think mine idles at about 750 rpm. My Chilton's manual says that with *all* accessories off, including lights, and the car in "P", it should be between 600 and 800 rpm. It also states that you should check it with a bunch of accessories enabled. It says turn on the lights, AC, and rear defroster. The idle should go to 800-900 rpm.
Before attempting to adjust the idle, the manual says that you should first check to make sure the ignition timing is correct, the plugs are in good shape, and there are no vacuum leaks. Adjusting the idle is accomplished by connecting the "Subaru select monitor" to the harness located under the left side of the dash. Don't have one of those do you? Apparently there is an idle adustment screw, but the manual says not to touch that.
