Hey guys, I have a 1991 EJ22 NA auto 2wd. When it sits over night It will crank but won't start. It will start eventually if you hold the key on start for 2 mins or so, then it will run on 2 cylinders untill you can rev it clean then its all good for the day. we've recently had some dodgy fuel that ...

Cool thanks yeah I have reset the ecu still the same. i'll get right onto the tps.
I hate this car and it hates me both mum and dad's liberty's are good to me but not my sis's lol.

My sister's 1992 liberty 2.2 auto na does this crazy flat spotting when you give it full throttle acceleration from a stand still its like very rythmic it does it 3 to 5 times and then clears up and will go up to redline no probs. If you take of with up to 75% throttle and then jump on it 100% its f...

Hey guys my sister's 92 liberty ej22 auto, while driving along it begins to slow down all by itself no matter where the throttle is even with foot flat to the floor it ends up doing about 10kmh then all of a sudden it goes back to normal. There is no missing or rough running of any kind and no check...

I've always run my engines for about 30 seconds or start the car then go open the gates it takes that long for my 2006 liberty to come down from 2000rpm idle any way lol.

Thanks, is there any way i can test it?
The switch light comes on but it just wont set.
Cheers

Hey guys the cruise in my 89 auto sedan is dead is it electronic or vacuum operated?

I'll test the tensioner the belt was still very tight. I didn't fit the belt. I bought the car cheap with the problem.

Cool thanks I was getting worried. Any ideas how the belt jumped so many teeth?

Sorry. Its a 1989 liberty/legacy ej22 auto sedan 226000kms

Hey guys how would a new timing belt jump 5-6 teeth on the LH head and will that have caused any damage to the valves? head gasket is dead on that side too lol.
Cheers.

It took me a while to find the appropriate calculators to convert km and litres to mpg lol. I usually get 410 to 450 miles per tank in my 2006 liberty with EJ20 quad cam n/a 5sp.
Usual mpg is 29.40 but it has been known to hit 33.60 on pure high way driving.

Hey just by incident I found that the lamps in the sun visor mirrors are fused through the meter fuse and its not on the haynes diagrams. I spent hours pulling the car apart till I found the charred wire in the roof. Just thought people might like to know this lol.

Also another sign is the coolant reservoir slowly over filling.
My dad's has that problem and i will be doing the gaskets soon, it didn't even show up in dye and compression testing as it is such a small leak

Yeah I am talking valve covers and cam gear. Over here is Aus they are also referred to as rocker assembly, just to confuse.

All the seals and valve cover gaskets are new I didn't want to waste money.

I'll give it a shot, if they get in the way have to come off so be it.

Thanks

Heya guys I have a question to ask. I bought a 1990 liberty with EJ22 n/a for my dad all it needs is cvs and rear shocks and ......... Head gaskets! I am feeling very lazy, has anyone successfully replaced the head gaskets without removing the rocker covers and rocker gear? If I have to remove it al...

Hey guys, seasons greetings. I replaced the maf sensor yes we have the jecs on in our non turbo in Australia. The car started better when I changed it and my cousin claims it drives better then it ever has. :-D While I was there I decided to check for codes anyway and I found that the 02 sensor is o...

Thanks Apparrently it lossed power and died it may or may have not stubbled (sorry guys she is a girly girl as long as the wheels turn she's happy) Are the USA legacy's with a MAf the same as a Australian liberty with an Airflow sensor/ meter? I was trying to get a good answer out of google too much...

Hey guys im new to the forum. all of my immediate family drive liberty's we're in Australia. my cousin was driving her 1991 Ej22 with the ac on full speed today a hot day and the car just stopped while she was doing 60kmh not sure what that is in mph the car restarted fine like nothing had happened ...
