 Hey guys! Welcome to hopefully the last video of the 06 Subaru Impreza Was it a 2.5 single cam, wagon, thing, project, whatever Remember we did the head gasket, there we go I got four Subarus on my driveway right now And there is another project coming up which I'm probably going to record Anyways, so the engine is in, you know, I've been driving it for a little bit here and there It's still a little smoky from all the cleaning, the degreaser and all that stuff So it needs to be driven a little bit more But there's an issue, let me show you Alright, so as you can see no check engine light Engine's cold, but even if it's warm it still does the same thing Of course now it's not going to do it What it does is it's bugging, it's kind of like bugging down RPMs don't go up as you rev it up like they should Or right now they are, man, this is always You know, at least once a month a guy's going to call me Let me put the seatbelts on You know, someone's going to call me and describe the problem over the phone For example, a check engine light And then by the time they get here, the problem's gone I can't duplicate it, I don't know what the hell he's been talking about And, you know, car has been fixed It happens sometimes Let's drive this thing So as I'm driving along it's pretty normal It's by no means quick, it's slow actually Brakes kind of suck, but it's been sitting for a while So, car needs to be driven, right? No check engine light yet Actually no idler lights at all But what I've noticed, it did, once it's warm a little bit Okay, I'm going to, hopefully you can hear this Which I'm going to pull over Just listen to the engine, the exhaust And listen to me thump on the gas pedal You'll know when I'm full on the throttle You know that initial rev from like 500 to about 1500 That's too slow So there's something going on Yeah, it's way too slow So it's bugging down is what I'm saying So, you know, hoping the check engine light will come on And give me a clue But I did clean the throttle body Did install a new, the variable intake valve solenoid So with, you know, the ECU it's been reset It's been sitting disconnected for quite some time So, and it hasn't been, I drove it maybe, I think 7.3 miles to be exact Yeah, so a car, every time you reset the ECU Or disconnect the battery for a longer time The ECU needs to relearn again, you know The idle and other stuff So I hope this is about relearning Yeah, it's just, it's like, it almost does nothing And then goes up All of a sudden There should be more pickup as soon as I'm, you know, near the throttle So it's lacking that tiny bit of power Even a little bit at higher RPMs Anyways, what I'm going to do And I hope it's going to fix this issue Because I never, I did check the spark plugs They looked fine, they didn't look old But I never, well, can't really check the wires Right, the cables, the electricity hoses So I'm going to replace on those And I am going to replace the spark plugs So I'll see you back at the shop All right, decided to just do wires and just check That's going to fix the issue I hope so Because these are Denzo, Denzo's first time fit wires Denzo first time fit 7mm class E suppression cable And these quite possibly also 7mm High heat protection, no name, generic cables All right, let's see how long that's going to take Old wires, new wires, cables So it took about, forgot to look at the clock But about 10, 15 minute stops Felt like 10, 12 maybe With me making a mistake Putting a short wire on where a longer one's supposed to go And vice versa, so I had to switch those quickly Anyways, let's see what happens now All right, see what it's doing, still the same What could it be? I'm beginning to think it's not the spark plugs Or the wires obviously All right guys, the only other thing I can think of Is the napsensor Which is this guy here What I'm going to do, I'm going to clean it Take it out obviously, clean it Very easy Put it back, try it If it's going to be the same I'm going to actually take the mine out of my 06 STI They should be the same I'm going to recheck the numbers on it This is a Denzo one I'm going to switch it over And check again Next time I started to after cleaning this one I'm going to also check for vacuum leaks But I mean I rechecked this thing Over and over I got all the hoses connected It's actually not bad It's these two wires That you want to inspect And the two guys in there I don't know if you're going to be able to see that There we go, those two guys inside there Looks like they have some Buildup on them Yeah, they are actually kind of dirty You won't be able to see that But they look like They have some carbon buildup Like a spark plug kind of Alright, I'm going to clean this off Alright, brake cleaner usually does the trick So I did just scrape it with a small screwdriver Basically lightly touching it Scrape off some of that Buildup That's actually much better By the way, my neighbor cuts his grass every day See that now? Looks much better Alright, sensor back in That's like an intake backfire It's actually better now Let it drop a little bit All the way to 500 or so, 750 Okay, that was better Let it drop again Yeah, I see it It's not waiting It's just There is no delay Let it drop again I think we're fixed Why is it telling me to put the seatbelts on? I'm not going anywhere, man I'm not even in a gear Yeah, I think we're good Easy fix, well besides the cables Alright, I'm happy to report All is good Let's check for leaks I'm sure there's no leaks Well, besides some old Reckon Pinion leaks Check this out, guys Well, besides this, this is what I'm talking about And that old Grease from the CV axle This guy here That's been replaced Not by me, somebody else But let's Appreciate this dry Subro engine, huh, guys? Check this out Remember, all this Was Just trenched with oil Just dripping on the exhaust This is nice The only thing I didn't reseal was the oil pan But it's fine, it's not too bad Looks like there was a A broken CV axle Boots on the passenger side as well And I did fix the exhaust There was a can actually Right over this Connecting these two pipes And two clamps With a can over it Now it's welded, that's it! There is a plastic cover That's supposed to go around this area But these two bolts are broken One is not This one is broken, this one is broken So I'm not gonna do anything about it right now Maybe later, maybe another time So really the only thing that's left That's Wrong with this car is the exhaust Making that Weird noise, there's a hole somewhere I'm guessing in the muffler Somewhere, but that's supposed to get replaced Well Project done Sometimes it happens actually Sometimes A project gets done Well at least by me More things For this car are planned already By the owner and we're gonna see this car At some kind of an event Out across For sure, not sure If this guy's gonna take it on an asphalt Out across For sure ice racing Which is ways to go, months to go But Different rally crosses On gravel and stuff like that And here's another Subaru Which is also another Ice racing project For ice racing Which I'm about to start Alright guys, I think we're at Thousand subscribers by now I wanna thank everybody that did subscribe to this channel If you're interested in more repairs Subscribe Like the video If it helped you out And I'll see you soon
