Hey guys.
Just got our STi 2 days ago. Looks like we have a problem with the engine reving funny.
When at idle, for no reason at all, the engine will go from 500 RPM to 1500 or 2000 for a few seconds, then it drops back to 500. That seems to happen randomly, maybe every minute or so. The A/C is not on, no lights, no sound system. Not sure if the fan starts when this occures, I can't hear it.
Also, I notice that engine speed does not go down immediately when I release the gas pedal. I see that happen when I shift (I've been driving manual trannys for 18 years now, unlikely to be a timing issue). I also feel it when I go down a hill when I'm in gear: lets say I want to use engine compression to slow down, I feel the compression only about 3 seconds after I release the gas pedal. Not sure if this and the idle problem are related.
Did any of you experience these problems?
