I'm gonna get the DLC when I get home. Off work today but moving furniture sucks. At least the weather is nice!

Then 3 weeks later the service engine soon came on. The car was running great so I figured it must be related to the cold start problem but still figured I’d bring it for a maintenance soon....

Then 2 weeks after the (this Sunday) I was on a 1 hour road trip and when I got off the highway the car started feeling weird. It would stutter when at idle and actually stalled a couple of times. At 50Km/h no problem flawless but idle would stutter and shit.

So i figured the Throttle body is probably dirty and shit... I cleaned it reset the idle and still didn't fix the problem (although it did help). I dont have the scanner so i had to send it in.

I hope this won’t be too expensive

My WRX gave me a check engine light, it was the short ram intake messing with the MAF reading. I took that piece of shit off and put the stock one back on.

All good now.
