On the impreza? whats going on with it? did you try checking out IACV, Knock Sensor, and Neutral switch. Seemingly overlooks areas which cause headaches for people with Impreza and Legacy with EJ25D and EJ251 engines.

IACV don't do anything w start up. IACV is more towards after start up & idling area. Knock sensor, yes, getting P0340 once a while when I start up... but I've replaced that sensor over 4 times within 2 yrs. neutral switch, I thought bout it, but no. It's still nothing to do w firing up.

I think, it's few tooth on timing belt might of slipped & need to be adjusted... Well, there goes another $1.5k... FML

....some men just like to watch the engine, exhaust, transmission and ecu sub forum burn.

After the somewhat interesting read I had through the innovate thread, I didn't expect to see that....at all. Guess I'll check out the vegas thread eventually.

Ichi, don't threaten the car with replacement....it'll only make it worse. You know how temperamental they can be.

You're right... Just currently, there are 2 options. 1. Do full overhaul of the engine (costing bout $1.5k) & crossing my fingers that it'll be fixed or 2. Buy FRS/BRZ... I'm still debating

So I could have asked you on FB, but why do you need an overhaul again? HGs leaking? Spun a rod bearing?

I think, timing belt is few tooth off, water pump need to be replaced, while at it, I'm thinking of replacing clutch & flywheel (6yrs racing w this car, clutch is getting worn out) & thinking of doing few upgrades (port & polish, intake manifold spacer, valve spring, cams, custom exhaust, bigger radiator, oil cooler & etc).

...but still debating

Skip the upgrades, re-time the belt. Leave the clutch alone. Save money. Buy FR-S.
