I was having the same issue with fluctuating and rough idle with my 2017 WRX. I'd turn on the AC or rear defrost and the car would start shaking and the RPMs would dive. The engine was also making a whining\ticking like noise for the first 10 minutes. Did a drive with a technician from Downtown Subaru in Toronto and was told it was normal because of the type of engine it is. Glad I came across this fix cause it absolutely works and fixed my issues. Maybe Downtown Subaru should start watching KZread videos!

Not normal, i have a 2018 forester, with 20k miles, tec at subaru said it was a dirty throttle body.. i was like dirty with 20000 miles. Did research and found out it was obviously something electronic, was suggesting to change to a high power battery, not the cheep subaru one tho

@@teebzr5975it can absolutely be just in this computer parameter issue. The computer learns as it goes and if it gets outside parameters that allow for weather, elevation, humidity, battery life and many other factors, those parameters have to be reset. You could make someone believe they have an expensive issue when they do not. The only reason I am back here is a refresh on the steps, as I know it works. It’s the actions needed if you do replace any sensors or your battery goes bad also. New sensor or a new battery, any time the battery is disconnected, these steps need taken. A wonky idle from these cars may not be ‘normal’ but given what I know, after owning one for almost 10 years, it’s not abnormal either.

My 2015 will drop in rpm once every few minutes for like a couple seconds after idling for 10-15 minutes and if the AC is on even just a little bit then it hesitates when shifting but I heard that’s kinda normal cause the engine is working hard to run and have the ac going at the same time.. I swapped the battery out cause the old one was going out. But doing these steps actually worked for yours? Cause we have the same FA motor

2008 wrx, built and pro tuned here: had the same issue, downshifting and coming to a stop my car would just barely not stall out every single time. It's been really making the car feel like shit and I was tempted to sell it because I checked the maf, boost leaks, Vaccum leaks etc and nothing, I thought even maybe the tune was done incorrectly. I followed the instructions and holy cow I'm literally in shock that it actually worked, I've never been so relieved in my life, well maybe that's an exagération but you guys get it.

Currently having this issue with my 08 Impreza (non turbo) 5 speed, when downshifting/throwing in neutral to slow down for a stop sign/red light I notice my rpm’s drop below 200 (nearly stalls) hopefully this will fix my issue.

Yeah, this hack works! My 2015 Forester 2.3 Premium 6MT (66K miles) was having a somewhat rough idle for about a year, down at about 600-700rpm when sitting at a stoplight or in stop-and-go traffic. I followed the procedure in the video, and to my surprise...it worked! It now has a smooth idle at about 850-900rpm, just like it did when I bought it new. I replaced the battery about two months ago so it was without power for a day, but after installing the battery I did not let it idle for 10 minutes, nor did I wait 20 seconds on off ignition and then restart and let it idle for another 5 minutes, as advised in this excellent video! Thank you, Subaru support, for never advising owners that when the engine management computer loses power that there is a friggin' reset procedure for the engine idle that has to be followed, like there is for the front driver's auto power window. Tossers...

Hey there, 16 STI owner here. Having a rough idle at stop lights. I checked all hoses and there is no leak. Did the idle relearn fix the issue completely?

Was skeptical. 2013 legacy. Even died after the 1st 10 minute run. Still skeptical. Finished the entire process. Completely fixed. Running smooth as it did before the battery swap. Bless this dude 😁🙏🏼

Incredible! I was hesitant when I came across this video but it worked like a charm on my 2014 Subaru XV. I had removed the battery for a short period of time and after re-installing my idle was very rough and would stall out when I began to break and come to a stop. All my dash warning lights would light up and freak me out thinking I’d be in for an expensive trip to the mechanic. Fortunately, after following the steps in this video, the idle returned to normal and is driving brilliantly! Thank you!

Thanks so much! My 2016 Forester was disconnected from the battery for a few hours during an update of the Starlink system at the dealership. After I returned home, the Forester began to idle very low (~500 rpm), and stalled 3x. Your tip to reset the Idle Speed setting and get the car to ‘relearn’ the idle speed was awesome. Everything’s back to normal (or even better than normal)!

I just changed the battery on my 2017 forester, I notice it idles kind of low when the AC is off, but it seems okay when the AC is on... Also, my driver windows buttons for driver and passenger were acting up, the driver's side was not going down all the way without holding it down, and the driver's passenger windows button was not working.... other temporal issue was setting back the date, it was only allowing me to set the hour and it didn't allow me to change the minutes, date, etc. but it worked out later after turning off and on the car couple of times. seems an array of issues comes up after disconnecting the battery.

Thanks so much! My car was stalling in traffic and idling very rough. I figured it was spark plugs... Running good now after your fix...:) One thing to note is that when it was running rough, I wasn't getting a check engine light which seemed strange...

I have a 94 Subaru SVX that I had a surge issue after replacing the alternator and idler pulley. I followed this video and it saved me hours looking for a loose ground, vacuum leak, IACV issues, or who knows what else as all of those things could cause it. Thank you.

Thanks for this video, solved my problem with absolute simplicity. After dealing with the local Auto association I thought I had BIG problems. Subaru needs to make mention of this in their service books

I was skeptical but this worked perfectly on my 2010 forester!

Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this. My 2003 Outback wanted to take off as soon as the engine started up. There was no need to use the accelerator around town. It was dangerous. Now all is well. It is behaving itself as it should do. Good on you McCauley!

sounds kind of fun, like an untamed horse

It worked on my 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i with 88,000 miles. It recently had a new battery installed, then started idling erratically at stop signs and stop lights. It even stalled a couple of times at stop signs. I was told it was likely a dirty throttle box. So I cleaned the throttle even though it looked shiny clean to me. However it was still idling poorly afterward, so I did this idle reset. Now it purrs at stop signs. It likely saved me hundreds at the dealership! Thanks for posting!

Although my car is a Lexus, I got the concept and it worked! Thank you, you always know that you can count on Subaru, because it's made with LOVE..... "Legacy's"

I just tried this on my 2014 Forester after it had stalling issues after changing the battery. This 100% works, my car is back running smoothly! Love it. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much for posting this. Worked perfectly on an '08 Legacy. After a plug and wire change, car was almost stalling at idle when coming to a stop. Followed your "relearn instructions". Back to normal.

Worked great on my 06 Impreza 2.5 automatic. Even removed my check engine light, for now at least. But drives like a different car, no more erratic idling. Thank you.

worked great on my 06 outback 2.5i. thanks for the post

This worked for me after pulling a couple plugs in the engine compartment, redoing spark plugs and di-electric freeze application and corrosion removal. I also cleaned the MAF which I think was the culprit. Thank you!!! Worked well for anyone stalling when you put the car in gear

This worked on my 2014 Impreza. I am honestly amazed at the difference. Saved me the cost of a tuneup which wouldn't have solved the problem anyway. Thank you!

Subaru Liberty 2.5 2013. This WORKS!!!!! Initially the car felt like you hadn’t pressed accelerator and all of a sudden - it would take off. Coming to a complete stop - it would feel like the car would stall (automatic). After doing this procedure - problem went away. Thank you to uploader.

I recently noticed my 2016 Subie Impreza (base model) had been getting a subtle bit of a rumbling/shaking after a few seconds while waiting at the red light and would then go away. I read about the cleaning the throttle body, changing the air filter, and swapping the spark plugs but luckily I had my car's usual maintenance done and those things were all addressed so I got my car back (still had the rumbling/shaking), performed this procedure, did a test drive and BOOM...fixed! Thank you so very much for this!

I have a 2005 Subaru Forester XS. After resolving a CEL issue, the idle was extremely low and the engine stalled fairly frequently. Followed this advice to the letter and the idle is back to normal. Thank you!

I was experiencing a rough idle when I would come to a stop or if I was in park and turned my air conditioning off, yes that's right, off.. my oil temp light, AWD, and sport mode light would flicker while it happened.

While adjusting my clutch, I started the car with drive by wire disconnected causing terrible idle and stalls. This procedure fixed it immediately. Thanks.

Just tried it on my '13 Subaru Outback. Worked great. Idle runs like it should now.

First off, thank you for the video. Out of the blue, my mom's 2015 Subaru Outback's engine started idling rough and she put it int Drive. I checked to see if there were any loose wires/rodent chewed wires/intake duct restrictions but couldn't find anything. The car has always been serviced at the Subaru dealership but even then, I found that both battery terminals were loose even though they were over tightened. On top of that, a "technician" apparently painted the terminals and clamps with some black paint and there was very little metal to metal connection. So I cleaned the terminals, bent the clamps so they wouldn't rotate when tightened and followed all the steps in the video. Worked like a charm.

this was so super spot on and helpful to fix my daughters 2006 subaru outback 2.5 idling issue. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thnx for the video. Here's my story. I have Subaru Outback 2,5 165hp. The rpm dropped very low when coming to a stop. Sometimes so low that the engine stopped. I did a reset. And the car is working fine after two days of intense testing. Because I'm a bit lazy I did my reset without unplugging the battery. I turned off all the electrical systems. Turn the key into the contact position. Leave it like that for 10 seconds. After that I started the engine and left it running for 5 minutes. Repeated the process twice. Ta-da my car runs like new. Will report back in case it'll start making troubles again.

Worked Perfectly so far with 06 Impreza 2.5i. Thanks a lot!

Worked great on my 2002 outback, thankyou!

This works. After changing my knock sensor on '13 Legacy it was idling rough pretty much on verge of stalling. This method got rid of that and car runs normally now. Thanks!

I am crazy grateful for this suggestion. I've had my car serviced multiple times and they've never been able to solve this, usually just saying "that's how these older cars run". But I often found a loss of power when accelerating from a stop and a rough idle that would drop rpm to stalling. I followed these instructions exactly and it now runs absolutely perfectly.

It works!!! Thank you for sharing this. It saved me a lot of stress and money.

I rarely comment but I HAVE to say this actually worked for me. I have a 2010 Forester and after having the airbags replaced I noticed it was being a bit funny when slowing down to a stop. I rang the service department at Subaru who said it shouldn't be an engine issue as the guy only disconnected the battery when replacing the airbag but to bring it in for them to take a look at it. Fearing they would charge me an arm and a leg to do so, I thought I'd try the internet first and found this video. I did the above procedure not having ANY expectations it would work but to my utter amazement ..it did! So thank you so much guys for sharing this info!!! I can sleep easy tonight.

I'm currently waiting for the 30min to pass But earlier I disconnected the batterey to replace my blinkers and realized the check engine light, traction control were on and the cruise control was blinking. This is my first subaru. Is there something I can do to reset those from.being on? Or is it more of an issue

Thanks, this worked for my 2005 Subaru Forester X. It also fixed the engine running rough (stuttering etc) in low RPM in low gear which was a nice surprise.

I did this on my 04 xt. It did not fully help but it did help some what. So what else could be causing my issue. I'm having a rpm surge of about 200 rpm at ilde and at cruising speeds. The only time it doesn't do it is at wot in the upper rpm range from like 3000 3500 on up.

I have a 2014 Subaru Outback and replaced the battery. Car died 4 times in 10 minutes on the way to my kids school and back home. I did this, PROBLEM SOLVED! Thank you!
