I'm going to bump this in the hope that one of the Subie guys reads it.To me it sounds like you have a dirty sensor,Air flow,maybe.I cannot see any
reason why it would be related to dropping the sump off,unless you've knocked a wire off in the process.Normally that 'hunting' idle will go away
with a bit of driving,but if it is 'a work in progress' the sensor may just be carboned up.

you will have a plug not correctly fitted or air flow meter needs to be cleaned.
also remove the ICV and clean it out, mark it so you put it back in the same place
Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake

That sounds just like mine was doing when I was testing everything. I had a leak between the air flow meter and the throttle body. Hope this helps.
