Problem with my RS powered Liberty - Page 3 - Perth-WRX.com

Here have a look at this pic:

Ignore the modified rails and just look at the vacuum lines attached to the fuel lines. The vacuum line attached to the top of the manifold goes to the FPR. the vacuum line attached to the top of the TB goes to the charcoal canister...

Mate you are an absolute CHAMP. I'll have to check this tomorrow as I don't have the privilege of owning my own torch. Thanks for spending your time taking photos! I'll let you know tomorrow arvo. Cheers

Wow look at you! Rub in it a bit!? Naa its ok man, i have a remote control car with blue LED's for headlights, all I have to do is charge her up and hold the forward button down on the remote with one hand, while holding the car with 4 spinning wheels with the other. Bango! Instant torch

Well i took my car to the mechanics this afternoon, I had Miggidy follow me with his hazards on, lol. I took the vacuum hose off for the FPR, and blanked it off. It ran like a pig and could barely get up to speed (we where just babying it to the mechanic.) But for some reason about half way there, it was fine!?!? It took off from the lights and boosted fine at 3000rpm, and I was gone. Argh!! This has got me wondering!! IT was about 2 minuets in to the trip, just enough to bring the temp gauge up to operating temp. Any clues?

theres two water temp sensors on the RS. one is a single pin plug used for the dash cluster. And the other is a two pin plug sensor used to give exact temps directly to the ECU. Just a guess but, maybe your two pin water temp sensor is gone and the ECU is not running properly when cold as there is a separate map for cold starts. combined with the vacuum line issue causes your issues.

Replace the water temp sensor which I believe is screwed in the metal water pipe running under the intake manifold and see how you go.
