Rough iddle issue (still)

hi everyone (again )
(I KNOW ITS COMMONG ISSUE SO COULD BE INTERESTED FOR SOME..)

just continue and summurizing my other thread....

I got rough iddle and bad acceleration from stand still until my revs reach 2500rpms, then the car goes with its normal power...feels like turbo tho lols

ok when i start car it works ok for first few mins...well maybe coz rpms around 1000 on idle maybe just its cold....
then it starts to choke on traffic lights when i stay...quite interesting to notice that sometimes its ok for 10-30 seconds after driving but then it start to choke...

and it goes absolutely fine on the road or motorway so wont be petrol pump...

k its all started when i changed sparks to proper platinum once (most expensive once i can get ova here)...
so i suspect i could touch something i should not ...like some vacuum hose... and wont be sparks themselves...

So far: i checked spakrs, contacts on em, coils, found that its global petrol/air problem as by unpluging injectors 1 by 1 (i.e. having 5 cyllinders working at the time) which gave same result for all 6 cases...- car was choking to death but still has not stalled

so it works bad with revs under 2000-2500 , sounds like when u have empty tank and petrol sometimes does not come into engine.


SO WHAT CAN IT BE? pls help as i spent quite long time figuring out.

addition: i replaced that vacuum hose from manifold to injectors and i have bad PCV valve which im replacing eventually...

ok so far i ve heard of Iddle air control valve..which still dunno where it is.. :s

cheers... hope to hear from u soon

oh yup...
fuel filter was replaced 13,000 kms ago to standard subaru one....

another crazy thought: if there s a inproper fuel hose somewhere... and it s clogging up?? more revs more pressure..petrol goes in da car...i stop...petrol does not come in properly..so car chokes...
any way check it and not unplugging every fuel hose?
