We discussed this problem here in the past and after changing the fuel
pump a couple of monts ago when it had a hard failure I thought the
problem had been nailed.

I live in Omaha, Nebraska and own a 93 touring wagon "Turbo" with
98000 miles on it and an automatic transmission. I love this car but
have had a reoccuring problem.

Intermittantly when accelerating the car loses power instead of
winding up like normal. Once a week or so is all this happens. My
wife drives the car and has had in die in traffic on her a couple of
times. It usually doesn't die and always restarts after puttsing and
futtsing if it does.

The check engine light does not come on. I have errors in the ECU for
fuel purge canister and cam angle sensor.

I have replaced the following:

Fuel filter
Cam Angle Sensor
Mas Air Flow Sensor
Fuel Pump
Plugs and Wires

Do any of you have any suggestions. I recently saw a post here from
someone who said their turbo didn't always accelerate as expected.
Was there a solution for him?

I would hate to have to trade this car because of this problem but....

HELP!!!!

Thanks,
Carl

Is there any reason to think it *isn't* the fuel purge solenoid?

I was of the impression this was an environmental item only that wouldn't affect performance etc.

Was I wrong. I surely will replace if there is any possiblity.

Hhmmm, have you considered the bypass valve? At least on the European
turbo version when the valve is leaking (or other malfuntion), it
makes the car accelerate badly every now and then.... but I don't
think it would make the car "die on you"... anyway, just an idea...

Tell me more... The bypass valve does what and where is it located? I will try anything at this point...

Thanks,

Carl, try this site for info on bypass valves/blow-off
valves:

http://www.mrtrally.com.au/performance/default.htm

check under "Technical Info & Tips" and then "How it
Works & Why".

Here's a pic of my engine, but I have the EJ20
engine...

After reading this I don't see how a bypass valve could make the car die.... Am I wrong?

I sat in the book store yesterday reading a tech manual on the Legacy's fuel system. Any chance this could be a faulty fuel pressure regulator? My thought is that it is not holding fuel pressure up so fuel recycles to the tank.


Any comment?
