∆ keep in mind it only works with older laptops that have serial or parallel ports and doesn't work with Port emulators.

Ill look into the idle air control valve today and see if its functioning.
The ECU has the Subaru Select Monitor although i dont currently have a method to connect to it or read the information. Might be purchasing a few items to be able to get that functionality. Will FreeSSM work on an engine from 1996? It looks like it says 98 and newer? Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!! |

Just a quick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) if you don't mind. @904svo I downloaded the program only to discover that it doesn't work on Mac. I need to buy a used PC based laptop in order to run this. Any suggestions for a digital moron? TIA, Kent |

No worries 76-914
It appears the idle air control valve is working. The video link below shows it moves upon powering up the ECU. Idle Air Control Valve Here are the connectors that are on the ECU. The yellow one should be the SSM, not really sure what the large gray/green one is. im nkt sure what the little white and green connectors in the second picture are for but was told to leave them alone by the company that did the wiring harness. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-9067-1567277062.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-9067-1567277063.2.jpg) I believe i need to purchase the cable in the link below to attach to the SSM on the ECU. Anyone familiar with Evoscan? Evoscan SSMI |

I was messing around a bit with the engine today and started to start the engine but would disconnect different sensors to see if anything changes.
Too my surprise, disconnecting the MAF got the car to idle, although at really low rpm and a bit rough. However, thats the first tine its idled that long. I took a video of the MAF disconnected and towards the end i reconnect the MAF. The rpms spike after the MAF is connected, but the car immediately dies afterwards. Im assuming a need to find a new MAF, are there any after market MAFs that might work? I thought I got the correct one on the last purchase, but it must not be correct. Looking to find a MAF for a 96 V4 GC8 EJ20K. I believe that is the correct engine designation. Idle without MAF connected As always any ideas are appreciated. Thanks everyone! |
