Passenger side intake manifold gasket seems to be the problem.
Mech friend of mine found it.

Guess its always worth going back to basics

Anyone done a manifold gasket before? any hiccups.

Cheers for the help,
Tim.

Cheers, Radiator flush was done about 10,000km ago when i replaced a cracked radiator. oil flush/change done about 1000kms ago, air filter 10,000km ago carby cleanered air idle control valve and all round/in throttle body yesterday. Still worth doing? Found this interesting thread on knock sensors.....

thanks brumbykid, I'm trying some injector cleaner at the moment, see how that goes.. injectors were cleaned about 20,000kms ago if it matters? TOONGA: thanks for the link, might be a problem solver.. only problem now is that link flies way over my head. I had a good look under the dash, and couldnt...

Hi all, I have a problem with the Idle on my 92 EJ22 auto liberty. Once warm, and at a standstill (eg traffic lights), the idle drops down till the car starts spluttering, then after about a second it picks itself back up to around 1200rpm. then it drops back down to spluttering again. whole cycle t...

yeah, it was a new knock sensor... So I connected black-black, and green-green plugs.. turned ignition to on not starting changed gear lever from P to N to P full throttle on accellerator for a few seconds back off throttle, start car drive for a minute or more above 12kmph And got a new fault code....

I'm a little hesitant to wipe the code.. Or will the code come back if there is an ongoing problem with new knock sensor? Also found out from Subie that head gaskets are Farked, but there isnt any oil in coolant, or vise versa... at this stage.. Is it a ticking time bomb till the engine overheats? I...

G'day, So I plugged my error code wires together the other day after some idling issues. When warm and sittin stationary for more than 30 sec, engine would drop the revs til almost stalling, then pick back up to around 1100 rpm, before dorrping down again etc... Car did not have check engine light s...

Hey, so found my radiator is crack on the front of one of the side tanks. I have a 92 EJ22 liberty. I am going to cruise the wreckers tomoz, but Wanted to know if i need a radiator out of same 92 model, or if i can maybe find the same radiator in a later model with less kms... anything else to look ...

cheers mate,

so anyone have any ideas on how to tighten crankshaft bolt without a rattle gun? or is the screwdriver trick the go?

planning on replacing waterpump on monday, day off... So picked up some parts today. Went to Subie and got a waterpump, gaskets and thermostat. at repco i picked up some coolant, radiator flush/cleaner, and some copper loctite for the gaskets. any more parts needed/recommended? just to run through i...

Cheers Fellas. Yeah i was wondering what you were goin on about El Freddo, haha. I remeber using G-clamp to compress pin when i did leakey camseal in 94 DOHC 2 years ago. sacraficed a little allen key, which worked pretty well :) Nice Nicname by the way :) RSR, assuming the belt was replaced less 16...

Awesome, Just found the SOHC Timing belt procedure PDF. Looks like i have to take off passenger side cam pulley wheel to access waterpump? is there any way i can stuff the engine up (as i did with a DOHC suby) by bending valves etc... if im a little heavy handed with getting the bolts undone? looks ...

Woohoo! current is SOHC! :) Car came with invoice from Mechanic, saying at least one of the idler pulleys(more than one in SOHC??) , 2x camseals, timing belt and tensioner were all replaced... this was done at 122,000 so not too long ago...unless its a false invoice...? if i just do the waterpump, a...

So, turns out the stupid-arse last owner didnt replace water pump when he did timing belt 37,000kms ago. So i guess i'll try replacing the waterpump first... recon i should go new pump, or go to the wreckers and try and find a car with similar k's (ie 137,000, or 237,000)??? i used to own a 94 liber...

Dammit, it's only done 37,000 since last timing belt (and hopefully) waterpump change...

Would the water pump being out cause the oil to leak also? or do you recon its a seperate problem?

Hi, I've recently had coolant dripping at about 1 drip/sec when the car is running, a bit faster when its hot. Looks like its dripping down from the centre of the engine, slightly the passenger side of the car. dribbles from somewhere unseen and then drips onto sump housing... Could this have also s...
