Okay, I was on the freeway in Portland Heading to pick up my girl friend from work.
All of a sudden the car wouldnt hardly idle, could hardly take off on flat ground, when I finally took off it was shuddering super bad when ever I tried to speed up.
Since then, ive changed the plugs, wires, fuel lines, fuel filter, coil, and maf. Fuel pump is good aswell.
Any ideas? Im out...

Re: Help! Bad Idle
As in check engine lights?
if so there are none...
Also, its an ej20g swapped Turbo legacy if that helps with anything.

Re: Help! Bad Idle
Some times the light will not be on and will have stored codes. This is the first thing you need to do.

Re: Help! Bad Idle
Ok, resetting the ECU should not have any affect on your tune.
