  1. If it's not consistent, I'd start with cleaning the throttle body and maf sensor. If it persists, it sounds like the iac in the throttle body is going bad. Just recently ran into this issue on an 04 Forester. The problem was worse with the ac on. No codes, fuel trims fine, fixed some split hoses and nothing worked. At a stop, the idle would dip to 500 and slowly go down to around 300. A new throttle body and relearn did the trick!
  2. Inner and outer tie-rods can be replaced without doing the whole rack. The boots and outer spring clamps can be reused. The inner clamp can be a pita but like Berge said, a zip tie will work fine. I'd recommend new hardware as well. You will need to rent an inner tie-rod removal tool from your local autopart store.
  3. Did you ever figure it out? I had a 2000 Accord with the 1457 yesterday and it made me think about your car lol
  4. JDM cars weren't required to have OBD2 until around 2000 if I'm not mistaken. They put the sniffer in the exhaust for obd1 vehicles but don't hook up to the computer.
  5. Not at all and I apologize if I sounded standoffish. Cv replacement is the most common fix when pertaining to a complaint of vibration only on acceleration. I've had shafts pass the visual and physical (check for play) inspection, so they only get you so far. You need to get the car up in the air, safely. A lift is preferred but level ground and jack stands will suffice. Have someone sit in the car and get it up to 40 or 50mph. You should be able to see one axle wobble more so than the others. A shudder sounds more like a transmission, center diff, or rear diff issue but thats just where my mind goes. Liberty: The problem going away sounds a little strange. Not sure if you mentioned that before, but if you did, I'm sorry I missed it. A sticking caliper may be the culprit. Make sure the pistons compress the same on both sides, the guide pins easily move in and out and that the pads are not stuck in the brackets.

It's a two way valve that is attached to the actual solenoid in the second link. You can test my theory by removing the two way valve to check for fuel contamination. If fuel drips out, she's bad and so is the solenoid. There's a strong possibility the little phillips head screws will be rusted so have a good pair of tiny pliers handy.
  7. Nope, only in the seat/body. The vibration going away when you let off the gas is your indicator.
  8. My money is on one or both of the front cv shafts. 9/10 times they fix the problem that you're experiencing.
  9. P0457 or P1457? What year? There are a couple components that can pass a smoke test but will still cause the code the set. Honda has one of the more basic evap systems when it comes to diagnostics.
  10. How are you guys still getting covid if you mask up, are vaccinated and social distance? Are you not practicing what you preach or do you think rules only apply to unvaccinated?
  11. Have you had the battery disconnected? Sounds like an idle relearn unless it's been this way for weeks.
  12. I'm not sure how our canisters compare to the Impreza, but I have replaced just the vent valve on them. They look like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/114008112624 I know the description says the word purge, but it is the vent/drain/dump whatever you prefer to call it.
