Check the images.

It seems my last problem was another injector. I have changed them one by one to see the result or each....changing cylinder 1 injector has cleared up the hesitation the car was experiencing on take off when the car was dead cold in the morning.

I have one injector left to change, hopefully that one wins me the lottery since all the others have done wonders.

Also had the car tuned by Matt from KiDo this morning. A top bloke and a professional at what he does. The car behaves much better now, gear changes are smooth and expected and the gearbox does what I want it to do when I ask it to do it. The idle is stable and smooth. The mid range is strong and the throttle response is more like a car with a throttle cable, there is no throttle lag anymore. Fuel economy is under 10l/100km whereas before I averaged 12.4l/100km!!! The tune will pay for itself in a very short time.

Finally a happy camper with this car!

Bummer.....that cylinder 1 injector I changes didn't fix the hesitation when cold. The tune has made it worse in fact as now when I take off there is a complete power cut of all power at low RPM (below 2500rpm). The day after the tune the car threw a code, CEL and cruise flashing. Car ran rough as while the CEL was on so I shutdown, waited for 10 seconds then turned back on and all was OK...hesitation was still there until it warmed up though. THe cruise light stayed on until I used the cruise control then it went away. But the good thing is that the car didn''t throw codes pre tune so if all is good this might locate my final problem with the car.

I read you can check your own codes by connecting a white plug near the fuse box and pressing the trip button on the odometer while the needles do a sweep of the gauge.

Hey Leigh,

Have you resolved all your problems yet?

I'm having exactly the same problems.

Revisiting this thread after a long time, forgot I posted it actually until a Google search found this thread.

I found the air intake hose was shredded underneath. There is a massive hole in the system, I hope this is the extent of the problem. I used Carny Cleaner while the car was running and sprayed it around the intake and manifolds, sprayed it onto the turbo intake revs rose.

Now I have to change the intake pipe which looks like a bitch of a job thanks to the BOV return pipe forming a tee into the intake pipe under the intake manifold. Thanks Subaru.

Visiually looking at the pipe it looked fine, the tear was underneath, at some point in time someone had over tightened the hose clamp causing it to fail. I think a silicone intake is the only way to go here to avoid future problems.

Does anyone know which silicone intake fits a MY05 Liberty GT? Do I have to take the intake manifold off to get the pipe out?

Does anyone have a standard intake pipe they want to get rid of?

Hey Leigh.

Looking into this myself at the moment.

Standard ones are available, do a search for the following part number (Subaru 14459AA320).

There are quite a few aftermarket options available, PSR, Kobemotorsport, AVO and Perrin to name a few.

I'm looking into an intake from a mob called Autobahn88, part number ASHK136-BK. It's made for the BP-BL 2.0ltr Liberty's, so you won't end up with a hybrid 2.0ltr/2.5ltr intake.

Hope the above info helps.

Cheers,
Rusty.

That is a huge help thanks for that.

Say thanks to Kido_tuning. He called this one for you from way earlier..

Btw, what size are the stock injectors? I'm thinking of going back to them. I have yellow side feeds now, i used to have the blue ones

KIDO_TUNING did call it early on for sure. The only problem being that there were three issues all at the same time so was hard to diagnose.

When he tuned the car for me I asked him about it but because the vacuum issue would go away when the car was warm there were no tell tale signs from his sensor readings.

I'm on the search through the wreckers to find a standard intake pipe. Looking at selling the car, have it advertised for a few days on Gumtree but no nibbles yet.

Intake pipes are impossible to find at a wreckers. Went with Kobe Motorsport intake pipe and maf pipe for the same price as a genuine Subaru retail price.

If you want a genuine part All Drive Subaroo can get them from Japan for less than a dealership.
