Now according to the start of this thread, that code corresponds to 'choke control circuit'. However I'm not sure whether the Foz has the same codes as the early EJ computers as this thread refers to. The only online manuals I can find seem to be american, and their SF Forries had OBDII. Is there a manual or supplement specific to the Aussie SF?
Secondly.... If it is the 'choke control circuit', which bit do I hit with the hammer to make it work?

I can try but I've never seen this code come up on your model. Your model uses the Select Monitor system (which is a Subaru version of the OBD one model) not the OBDII system. Can you tell me how you got the code 54 out of your car?

Copy paste from the 2001 SF Forester FSM
Code 54- Air intake system. Because the ducts and hoses on air intake line are loosened
or damaged, the pressure sensor signal is abnormal.
<Ref. to EN(SOHCw/
oOBD)-108, DTC 54 —
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
—, Diagnostic Procedure
with Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).>
This code basically tells you that the ECU is having trouble maintaining a steady idle speed. It relates to either an air leak, or a faulty MAP sensor, Throttle sensor or Idle control valve

I started another thread

I plugged the black plugs together and the check engine light flashed

this is just the info I was after. I have tried another MAP sensor with no change. Will try the IACV, and TPS next. I did clean the IACV previously.
Can I ask where you got the 2001 SF Forester FSM from?

FIXED!!
IACV was stuck. Checked my spare and it was stuck too. Lots of INOX and moving the vane and it runs beautifully now.
