Customer Spends $1000 on Parts...Still Not FIXED! (Subaru High Idle)

[@kentbrunk441]

Hey everyone.... I am the owner of this car. Just thought I would comment for your further entertainment. I spent the 1000 plus trying to fix it, spread out over the summer because I was too dumb/aggravated to quit. I did some of the work myself and had a mechanic friend change some of the parts with my permission. I did mess with the peddle some but did not think of the plug since it throttled up so well.. Yes I am both happy and bummed at the same time LOL. If I would have known about Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics, I would have called him a lot quicker. On the oil consumption... I am fairly sure there was no engine rebuild like I was told.. Just a new head gasket. Our diagnosis by the end is that it needs rings and who knows what else.:( I bought it cheap to keep salt off my good vehicles. It runs great so I am just gonna dump oil in and run it.:) Oh and for all of you badmouthing Subaru... I have pulled two full size Chevrolet pickups and two other Subarus out of the ditch the last two winters. Twas hard on the clutch but...

[@mikep95133]

My standard repair for high oil consumption is new valve stem seals and a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil. Worked many times over the last 40 years. Nice work Ivan !!!

[@wildbill23c]

Sounds like its all ironed out now for the most part....some wear on the engine obviously, probably the previous owner(s) neglected a lot of routine maintenance, its out of warranty they start skipping everything they can on vehicles to save money so they think...most likely the reason they got rid of the car was the oil burning issue from lack of maintenance and probably a lot of sludge in the engine sadly. I'm not a Subaru fan, but I've been watching a vehicle reviewer's channel here on KZbin and he's kind of changed my opinion of them quite a bit. I loved the old 80's Subaru GL 4x4 Wagons that had manual 4WD with low range though....The reviewer I've been watching has been doing some pretty interesting testing of his Wife's Subaru Outback Wilderness...I've been surprised where he's been able to take it...so many reviewers that bash the Subaru let off the accelerator every time a wheel spins, this guy just keeps the throttle steady and it is then able to sense where to put the power and it just goes...very interesting...no its not a rock crawler/offroader, but for snow/ice it'll handle it pretty well. I want an Outback Wilderness now thanks to that KZbin reviewer LOL. Driving Sports TV is the channel I've been watching.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Thank you for the feedback, Kent! Was a pleasure to drive up the super-steep mountain and diagnose your Subaru :) With the engine having questionable history, it's hard to say what the root cause of the oil burning is. But oil is cheap, so wouldn't worry too much about it if it drives fine. The Suzuki XL-7 did great in the heavy snow on the drive back to PA with snow tires and 4x4. I took the lower-traffic route to avoid getting stuck behind trains of slowpokes haha

[@ronaldfulton1175]

Dielectric grease will prevent future problems with that pedal connector. Disconnect it, pack it with grease, reconnect, and pack the outside openings of the connector.

[@duanebuck193]

A good friend had an older Subaru wagon several years ago, and that thing was a beast in the snow during the winter. He just had good all seasons on it and we plowed through stuff that I would have been hesitant in any other vehicle, and it never slowed one bit. His burned some oil, but as Ivan stated, oil is cheap and a lot easier to just add a quart and not deal with more expenses than necessary.

[@automotivated5934]

Good work my friend. Even when a customer says it’s new don’t let it change your diag process. That’s why you’re the man!

[@lawrencebush2603]

Excellent troubleshooting. As an electrician for 54 years, many, many problems were solved without troubleshooting by cleaning, tightening, lubricating and contact cleaner on the equipment, then testing. More times than not, that was all that was needed. I was called a miracle worker just by doing needed maintenance. Plant Production always has a budget for Production, but is continually looking for ways to cut or reduce required maintenance.

Well done Ivan, another success. My wife drives a 2019 Forester we bought new, I wanted her to get a RAV4 but she really preferred the drive of the Forester, and the Subaru dealer was more willing to make a deal, which included a reasonable trade in for our Volvo XC60. Got to say our Forester is great in the snow, it's AWD is incredible, and 63,000 miles later not a single problem, but then again you should expect that from a new car.

[@davidraezer5937]

Just hearing that engine warming up I’m using air quotes around the phrase rebuilt engine. They must have used the optional oval pistons! As far as oil consumption most forgot about the PCV valve in these. Couple of the Subaru engines I overhauled had stuck rings and clogged oil return holes behind the oil control rings. Especially on those cars with poor maintenance.

[@AW28]

Very much this! Soak and clean the Pistons, check the oil holes, and a new PCV valve

[@randy1ization]

the statement rebuilt can mean many things,, some things can be considered rebuilt if you replace one part.. so always get detailed list of things to be done.

[@Mr2004MCSS]

Years ago I had a high idle on my 98 Chevy truck even after driving it for 30 miles and it being warmed up or so I thought. I shot the parts cannon at it with a new TPS which of coarse didn't fix it. I was talking to someone about it and told him the symptoms and he told me to change my thermostat because it sounds like it's stuck open and not allowing the truck to come up to full operating temperature. The temp gauge inside read about the same as it always did so I didn't think of that being a potential cause. I replaced the thermostat with a new AC-Delco one and it fixed the high idle problem. I guess the coolant temp sensor was reading the temps low enough and thought the truck was still in the initial warm up mode and kept the idle high.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Yup Toyotas do that too. Definitely need a scanner to read the numerical data vs. a needle on the cluster :)

[@jameswasher3938]

Nice job Ivan. I wouldn't have believed that would have been the problem. Though you had it with the purge valve.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I keep a few of those cans in stock at all times around here. I was having some intermittent turn signal, headlight and running light issues with the Volvo after getting it blasted with road salt during these past few storms. That was the fix! Just had a little salt in the connection, and DeOxit found a better connection. Thanks for showing that stuff! I bought it years ago after the first time you mentioned it.👍 Must've been fun driving home in that - everyone slows down to 10 MPH here in MA, so I can only imagine down there. Must've been frustrating. Good day to take backroads and play. Probably ends up faster anyway! 😁

Great video Ivan. Recently got caught in a huge snow storm. This is gonna sound crazy. We were in my wife's 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman S with AWD. The car was amazing in the snow. Like a snow goat.

Two weeks ago, I purchased the scan tool you are utilizing on this video, I used the amazon link you provide. It has outperformed the other 5 scan tools I own, it even worked on a 2021 vw with the bidirectional functions, Also, I had a couple of questions, called the support number and got great service, thanks for using that tool and for providing the link. On another note, curious if you ever use the "actual" and "commanded" lambda p.i.d.s. in conjunction with 5 gas analyzer lambda calculation in conjunction with fuel trim p.d.s. to determine wide band sensor accuracy for diagnostic and repair verification. So far, I only know of one other than my self that uses that strategy as part of action repertoire.

Eric, I had a case where the computer was expecting to see a purge but would not so it was running lean and revs would go up and down. The computer compensates for purge flow but when there isnt any flow, it acts up and the reason there was an up and down of the RMP was because of the duty cycle. I had no codes for this car or any clue, just the fact that the idle would not stay stable. Replaced the purge valve and I verified that it was nor getting stuck open and it wasnt. Interesting case nonetheless.

My first thought was my Volvo that needed to have the electronic throttle module recalibrated periodically. Luckily figured out there was a trick where you turn key on without starting engine and wait a minute -- you can actually hear the ETM clicking as it recalibrates -- then you have to turn key off for like another 30 seconds so it saves the settings... or something like that... was a while ago. I'm sure it's different for other vehicles anyways.
