Re: Scan tool 1997 Liberty EJ22e
Other things to consider Mark is an issue with the ECU or the possibility of a wiring issue that’s intermittent - maybe a bump in the road or a certain vibration causes loss of connection in one or many sensors/power/earth circuits. All body earth straps fitted? You should have one from the battery ...

Re: Driver Assistance less than functional.
Hey Neal and Sue, What you’re experiencing is the reason why I don’t do new cars. Our youngest vehicle is a 2005 build! It only makes a noise when we leave the headlights on and open the driver’s door. I hate chimes when driving!! I hope the commodore does you well. If you look after them they’ll go...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Wow that’s nuts that one little parameter like that can screw up so much in the operation of the engine! I’m guessing all that new wiring, while nice and good to know it’s fresh (plus that personal satisfaction), was not necessary in the grand scheme of things. Awesome to hear that it’s running good...

Re: Driver Assistance less than functional.
I too can’t really help other than with two things. 1) keep pushing Subaru for a genuine response. They should be greatly concerned about their system not working properly. 2) Have you had your windscreen replaced recently? If so, was it one that’s made for the eyesight system? I mention this as I’v...

Re: Scan tool 1997 Liberty EJ22e
Agreed, an intermittent issue like this is a painful one to get sorted and may have killed many a good car in its time. Other than the crank angle sensor, I think that list of parts being replaced is sensible. The crank angle sensor is just a magnet with a copper coil around it. If the wire to the c...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Hey Sam that does sound like progress! Have you got that TPS pinned out correctly - as in are you sure all the wires do exactly what you think they’re doing? Second TPS/brand new from memory, should be working fine. Hopefully an easy fix then off to the tuners again for the last time! Cheers Bennie

Re: Brumby running rough, shuddering and bunny hopping
Hmmm… I’ve not heard of this being an issue before. I’d be checking the bowl vent line and the fuel cut solenoid to ensure everything is breathing and being fed properly.
Glad you’ve got it sorted though!
Cheers

Re: Red Targa Brumby
Nothing serious, these trips were just bedding and couches etc. A few years ago when moving houses I used to load her right up and she managed ok. But since then I’ve also put in some front coilovers and this is probably partly why she doesn’t feel good with big loads as the rear is doing all the wo...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Ooh this is getting exciting!
Do you have a plan C in the back of your head incase this plan B unexpectedly doesn’t work as intended?
I wish these gaskets would bloody well hurry up!

Re: Red Targa Brumby
Well Redback is definitely back in business! 300 or so km of towing today without any issues while picking up bits and pieces (not cars parts) was a good shake down. Before the carby rebuild Redback didn’t like towing, just the “free spirit driving” without a wind sock out the back. Happy days! Bennie

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Ooh that chrome trim piece looks awesome! I hope it lasts for the life of the vehicle looking that good! That wiring loom looks simple when you draw it out like that. Good time to change throttle body to a drive by wire if you a) don’t have one already and b) your ECU can run a DBW throttle body. Th...

Re: Red Targa Brumby
Yeah I was very glad that it was an easy fix! I haven’t touched the rocker adjustments for quite a while and with the carb refurbish running the engine smoother I’ve found myself in the upper end of the rev range without realising until looking at the tacho. That could have something to do with it, ...

Re: Red Targa Brumby
On my way to work today I was several kms out of town, things were still warming up properly, 100km/h, cruise engaged and things are normal. Then the cruise seemed to be working hard to maintain 100km/h and the engine sounded more rattly than usual, and was quickly struggling. I couldn’t work out wh...

Hmmm, I can’t see your pics but that could be my phone - so I got the link from your post and checked them out. I also couldn’t see how to grab a code to post on the forum (if they’re working for others), that could be because I’m not a member of imgur or the account holder… That gizmo under the con...

G’day Tim! Welcome to the forum. Where are you moving from to the great Wait Awhile land? As Subyroo said, your image is hosted from a third party site and the link dropped in here with some basic coding if not already provided.

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Ooh that’ll be an interesting job replacing all of that wiring and sensors! I hope it works out for you. I’m still trying to get my head around how you’ve had so many issues with all of the factory wiring and sensors. It doesn’t add up. Hopefully that wiring loom will sort out your issues. Maybe the...

Re: Red Targa Brumby
Got the idle adjusted nicely now, stoked about that! Seems that I may have set the idle mixture too low which wasn’t helping. Filled up today - first tank used since the carb rebuild. At a quick glance I’m pulling better than 10L/100km on my daily commute which is 80% country driving and about 20% u...

Re: Scan tool 1997 Liberty EJ22e
This is a good one, every idea I come up with I then realise that it doesn’t fit the bill. Even the thought of the coil pack being dead doesn’t fit - they usually don’t just kill the engine and go again. I had a coil pack that was dying and it didn’t perform well under load. No stalling though. Swap...
