  1. I've got a 91 model legacy/liberty wagon with a EJ22M motor. I recently changed the head gasket and lifters, no hassle there. I put every thing back together and is running fine with a little gunning at times that I'll deal with later, my main issue is after spending endless hours with the front of the car elevated and bleading the air out of the cooling system. When I start the car and just let it idle to operating temperature the Thermatic fans cut in and out fine. Now if I drive it for 10 minutes or more the fans stay on and won't cut out, till I stop the motor and let it cool right down. I am suspecting the themo fan senor switch. Any one got any I deas on what this fault might be caused by??
  2. Fuse tap sounds like the way to go. I haven't heard of them but will try to get hold of one. Thanks
  3. Has any body got a wiring diagram for a '97-8 liberty/legacy? Trying to find a good take off point for an extra wire for accessory such as a little fridge in the back of the wagon have run a wire to the back now just need somewhere that gives ACC.only using say the CIG. outlet which allows 20A, but finding the wire is proving difficult.
  4. thanks for the couple of tips, I can see why (I think) why the front tents to take longer than the back to come up i think it is purerly a weight difference between the front and back of the vehicle as all struts are conected to the one delivery line before the solinoids take affect. will try the battery disconect idea once I get the compressor going again never even thought to do that but makes complete sense. Any one know whether I might be able to get the seal at the top of the piston in the compressor?????????
  5. So far I've done the bubble test with detergant and water on ALL the connectors and they seem fine NO leaks there, checked the condition of the Pressure switch on the air tank and its fine still gotta check to see if it actually switchs, this I can only do on the tank because my compressor only goes to 115 PSI and the switch requires 137 to open and 109 to close. So still checking one thing at a time. I forgot to mention that over the 4 years that I've had the wagon every say month or so the height control switch flashs, I just turn the ignition off then back on and it's fine for another month most times. thats all for now Well just pulled the compressor apart and the seal that is on the piston within the compressor is cactus (no good) Are these available any where?
  6. Absolutly brilliant thanks a heap. Exactly what I was after, now where's the wagon
  7. What I would like is a detailed description of how the suspention system works eg when soliniods open and close, what solinoids stay powered when ignition is off. I find that the pump is working but the solinoids near the fire wall seem to stay activated even when the ignition is off and key removed Any help would be good Suby do
  8. that was something I thought about but couldn't figure why the air disapeared from both front and rear right side. Will change solinoids in the next week, cars off the road got another suby to run around in. Thanks
  9. Hi guys I have a 90 liberty(australia) Legacy(usa) wagon and have replaced a rear passenger side strut and a right front strut since i have had it (4years) it,s done 300k kms and am about to do the head gasket, that bit doesn't bother me too much, but have a problem with obviously a air leak in the right side, as the right side goes down overnight and takes ages to come back up when i run it. there doensn't seem to be a leak in the front unit as it's new and i've replaced all 'o' rings and done a bubble water test, Should the front strut go down if there is a leak in the rear one? any suggestions
  10. yep it's KMs If thats all then I'll be happy I have a 91 lierty thats done 290K Kms and replaced all the said items but has a very small leak from No. 2 the commpresion is about 80lbs plus a little bit of exuaust gasses coming into coolant so gotta replace head gasket hope thats all it is.

  11. I'm looking at getting a 94 liberty and wondering is there anything you have to watch out for. one has done 171k
