Due to the fact that my old daily driver (02 WRX) got rear ended a few weeks ago, I was finally able to find the car I've really always wanted (1g DSM) two days ago . The car is compleatly 100% stock, garage kept, rust free, and in excellent looking condition. (No clear coat peel, no head gasket seep, etc..) Picked the car up a few hundred miles away from where I live. The car ran great on the way back. The next morning was a different story. When I attempted to start the car it would not fire. I was able to spray some ether into the air box in and get the car fired up. Once it started it seemed to run fine at first. I then started driving the car and lost some pressure in the clutch and had to pump the pedal in order for it to build up pressure and function properly. Lastly I the car began to idle very inconsistently (sometimes at 21k rpms, sometimes at 16k rpms, sometimes at 11k rpms) once it warmed up. Tomorrow is my day off work and I plan on going through the car and attempting to straighten things out. The talon had been sitting for a few years was garage before I got it, so I know that it will need some basic maintenance along with new current problematic parts (plus the car is getting close to historical vehicle status). So here's where I'm at right now:
1.) My diagnosis = High idle could be caused by either boost leak, me spraying ether into the air box and damaging the air sensor, vacuum being pulled from bad clutch master and/or slave cylinder, bad or dirty idle control valve, or more than likely bad/disfunctioning fuel pump/filter/injectors.
2.) My game plan = Empty rest of bank account in the morning and go to the local auto parts store and misty dealership. Buy new clutch master cylinder, new clutch slave cylinder, new fuel filter, new fuel pump, plugs, plug wires, valve cover gasket ( it's barley leaking but I'm rather tedious about my cars ), belts, air filter, and oil change. I also plan on cleaning the injectoes, idler control valve, and air sensor along with performing a boost leak test and more than likely running several new vacuum lines. Lastly I plan on running fuel system cleaner the car once I get it back together and am hopefully going for a victory cruise (but we all know how working on cars goes when it comes to what's planned and what actually happens )
3.) Once the car is straightened out the only aftermarket modifications I possibly plan on doing are a dejon intake/high flow filter and turboback exhaust (this is not going to be my fast car by any means just a DD). Am I missing anything that would be necessary to upgrade in order to support these minor modifications?
4.) MOST IMPORTANTLY, Is there any diagnosis advice / install advice / mod advice / parts I should replace in addition advice that any of you gurus can give me?
