3.0R .B congested in wet weather
Posted: Sun Nov 27, 2011 12:58 pmHi folks,
hope this isn't a regular post. Did search beforehand with no luck.
I tend to drive my stock 08 3.0R .B Liberty around the city in economode (Intelli-whatever) saving the go fast switch for when I need it. Under normal circumstances, it's all good. A bit gutless and not keen to rev, but it moves the car around like it needs to in traffic.
However, I can't shake the feeling that when it moistens up outside, the engine feels like it's congested and really can't breathe all that well. Is this a common thing? Do I need to get Subaru to look at it? Or is it a case of TADTS? Is there a fix?
Are the 3.0R .B's known for the intake being a bit constricted? Is there a reasonably priced solution to let it breathe a bit easier and is the ECU capable of dealing with it / learning how to deal with it?
