You put a blown H6 in an old Imp? Wow. I'd look for a leaky vacuum line or something around the idle circuit. If nothing lokk at the ECM or get a more careful custom tune that works the idle logic and O2 sensors more carefully. (If you have a long pipe header the rear O2 can get lazy and result in a lost idle.) Good luck.

And this is why we advise people to just buy a real WRX and avoid all the troubles of swaps.
