For example, a friend has a 2004 Subaru Forrester with 280K miles and reduced compression all around especially in cylinder #2, and it stalls at stop lights and won't turn up the idle to compensate for the wear, and probably is not worth the engine work to increase the compression. The computer learns the unloaded idle speed when it should learn the loaded idle speed to prevent stalling with the reduced compression, which causes loaded and unloaded idle speed to diverge. So any suggestions? It's a fly by wire throttle so no linkage to bend or adjust, though we did try sticking business cards in the throttle stop above the pedal.
@@GearsAndTech Owner suggested the cat, but reported no loss of power or hill climbing ability, just stalling, so I talked him out of it. I saw your cat removal video and you mostly had power loss, and I don't remember you reporting stalling except when trying to drive up ramps.
I run old cars and find that the car programs do not adequately adjust for extreme wear and compression loss, especially when such loss is uneven; for example a worn engine with lower compression often runs cooler and so can use more advance timing, but the computer fails to do this.
Hey Gears and tech team, Just checked your youtube, really great stuff. I was wondering are you looking for a short or long form video editor ? Or Whole UA-cam management ?
Shoot me a message on our Instagram. We can talk about it. I do have a team of editors currently, but if you can edit better and within my budget we can work something out

That’s cool you can do it from a phone now. I have a car scanned from years ago and it was a separate device.
Yeah, phones have come a long way
I would prefer to use a laptop and hardwire it.
Great review. What about key programming?
I reviewed the key programmer that I do use

I would look at the cat. It's probbaly plugged up. Ours did the same thing. When I took the cat off it fixed itself

@@GearsAndTech Do you know if you can replace a head gasket without removing the engine on these Subies?

Some cars let you run an idle balance on them. Not all
