    Help, Idle,Driving Subaru sounding (slightly) problem

    Alright, well let me just jump into explanation. My car just began to drive like it was missing terribly and would sound like a subaru sound. It smells likes its running alittle rich. Also it does have a slight idle surge sometime when in gear and stopped but not badly. This all just began. But my problem comes in because i cannot diagnose this problem for the life of me. Heres why:
    All things just replaced:
    spark plugs
    wires
    oil
    oil filter
    antifreeze

    i thought it was maybe i got bad gas. so i bought a bottle of octane booster and fuel injection cleaner thinkin that could be the problem too. well the problem still persist even after driving for 30 minutes or so after i dumped both in my gas tank. (they were both STP and stated could be used at same time).

    So now i come to you my CB7 family.
    PLEASE help me

    much appreciated,
    Bucky

      try replacing your dizzy cap and rotor that could cause a miss. uhh for the idle problem clean your FITV (fast idle thermo valve) and also clean your IAC (idle air control) try those then come back if problem is still present.

          also i failed to mention. It does have a coolant leak somwhere and no matter what i do i cant seem to pin point where at. its not a huge leak i only have to put a little coolant in every 1 1/2 weeks and than i dont even have to completely fill it only about 1/4 and its full again. so like i said pretty slow leak

            When my car sounded like a suby and ran like ish, I gave her a set of cleaned and balanced injectors, now she runs like the cb7 she is

            Not that you should go out and buy new injectors but if nothin else works its worth lookin at.

            You might want to do a compression test anyway if your losing coolant and not seeing a puddle under your car, 2 birds 1 stone

                If checking all the coolant lines/hoses check out, I'd suggest checking the compression of each cylinder just to be sure.

                    i don't know for sure that this is your problem, but i do know that on hondas if 2 of the wires are switched up on the dizzy that it will idle like a wrx so you might wanna double check to see if you've got your wires right on the dizzy to the cylinder head

                      You are correct. However, if you read the entire thread, you'd have seen that the problem was a bad spark plug.
