could be the egr valve is dirty and needs to be cleaned. if there is soot build up, the valve may not close all the way which can cause a rough idle. if it ever stumbles while accelerating, that can be from it not opening when it should. cleaning it can be an easy 30 min job that anyone with basic mechanical skills can do. sometimes.

What causes a 1996 Subaru Legacy not to go to low idle?

A 1996 Subaru Legacy may not go to low idle due to several potential issues, including a malfunctioning idle air control (IAC) valve, vacuum leaks in the intake system, or problems with the throttle position sensor (TPS). Additionally, a dirty or failing mass airflow sensor (MAF) can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, affecting idle performance. It’s also possible that a faulty engine control unit (ECU) could be hindering proper idle control. Diagnosing these components can help identify the root cause of the idle problem.
