MAF sensor replacement
Discussion
Just replaced the MAF sensor on a UK Impreza Turbo 2000. Part ordered from Subaru from the chassis number and received the right part.
Is it normal for the car still to run a bit rough for a while?
Have plugged into diagnostics and no codes or errors showin, is idling nicely and revs freely. But in 3rd/4th/5th under load the car is intermittently hesitant and occasionally 'kangaroos'. Backing off throttle and holding at constant revs (2.5 - 3k) for a few seconds seems to let it clear its throat and it then pulls strong again. I have tried giving it the beans on the motorway, which helped a bit, but still not right.
I have heard the electronics need to re-learn with the new sensor installed and will settle down in time - is this right or do I need to be looking for something else?
Thanks.
