After I got my spark plugs and valve cover done this issue seemed to go away.

Now I gotta figure out where did all my coolant go from the time I dropped it off at the shop and picked it up? I am fuming

I went to start up my car (stock 2008 legacy gt) to go for a ride, and the engine was very erratic during idle.

The car started fine was I idling at around 1,500 rpms after a few seconds it jumped up to around 2,200 rpms, then dropped to around 400 rpm about to stall, and it stayed like that for a few seconds jumped back to around 2,200, then dropped back to 400 after the engine warmed up just a little bit (Maybe a minute or 2) the idle went back to normal.

This is not the first time it has happened to me, but it only happens when it is below freezing outside.

Any advice?

Welcome! Enjoy and dont forget to set up direct deposit right into that hood scoop!

About half a year later, everything is still fine, the only money I've had to put in was for new tires, and I just put in new plugs recently. Cars been running smoothly So far I hope I don't jinx it.

Pretty dope for a first car, enjoy!

It's "technically" my 2nd car, but since my parents gave me my old one I don't really count that since it was never really my car

You'll hear some pops during shifts with an aftermarket exhaust and an OTS map in my experience, you're probably fine. I suspect the OTS maps are a little on the rich side for safety. My neighbor's LGT with a Cobb Stage 2 OTS map will actually pop a flame on occasion during hard shifts. Wouldn't worry about it unless there's other trouble signs.

Okay thank you, I think I'm a little bit too worried about my car. It's just a lot different from my piece of shit 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx, and I just need to get used to the sounds that it makes.

I forgot to add from what I've been noticing the pops only happen when shifting at a high rpm (which I normally won't be doing for the most part)

Hello, I'm pretty new when it comes to these cars and I was wondering if these exhaust crackles are an issue I should get fixed. I know to some people they sound cool, I don't mind the sound I just want to make sure it's not harming the car in anyway.

Everything is stock besides an Invida catback exhaust, and I plan on keeping it all stock.

I'm probably going to get a pro tune in the near future because right now it's running the Cobb OTS stage 1 tune.

I'm so excited to get this thing plated and on the road, it has 160k miles, pretty much all stock besides an invidia catback exhaust and stage 2 clutch. Original Turbo, I know these cars have a high potential to be money pits but ima do my best to keep her in good running condition, I don't really drive that hard.
