Ok, so I replaced the MAF sensor with a used one that was deffinetly in better shape (I saw some debris on my old MAF that I couldnt clean) and i gotta say it feels a little better..... but still runs like SH$%&T

I checked my TPS sensor wit the multimeter and it goes smoooooth from closed to WOT. so its deffinetly not the TPS.

My troubleshoot list indicates that it can also be air control valve regulator or purge or something like that.... and its located under the intake manifold DAMNT IT, this is driving me crazy.......

Anybody ever had a similar problem???

A "subaru experienced" mechanic checked my car last saturday and his diagnosis was:

I HAVE NO IDEA!!



Anybody know someone in Phoenix that knows SVX's?? I need help, please.

Put some seafoam in your engine and also clean out your throttle body. There's got to be some debris or buildup in there somewhere.

SeaFoam... Im not sure, last time I used something similar on my truck it dissolved the old gaskets and piston rings seals and I ended up repairing the whole engine. Is it safe???

Thanks bro.

Hey- you could check with Don at Steven Jory Subaru on Bell road. He seems to know his way around these cars. What junk yard did you find an SVX in? I could use some parts...
