What causes a Subaru Legacy wagon to lose power?
Partially open the throttle by hand and watch the vacuum guage. If the vacuum reading continues to drop at a steady 1500 rpm, the catalytic convertor may be plugged up. I’ve seen technicians disconnect the exhaust ahead of the convertor, then run the engine just for a moment to prove that the convertor is plugged.
When did the second generation Subaru Liberty come out?
… There wasn’t much hoopla surrounding the launch of the second generation Subaru Liberty in 1994. The previous model was safe and solid without being particularly exciting, and there was no reason to believe the new one would be anything but a competent follow-up with the same attributes.
What was the performance of the Subaru Liberty in 1996?
Performance was improved in 1996 when a larger 2.5-litre version of the flat-four became available. Liberty buyers could choose between a five-speed manual gearbox and a four-speed auto, both of which were highly rated, and there was the choice of all-wheel drive.
What’s the difference between the first and second generation Liberty?
The second generation (2GEN) Liberty was new from the floorpan up. The chassis and floorpan were refined and improved, but essentially they were carried over from the previous model. The major changes to the underpinnings came from the increased wheelbase, which was 50 mm longer than the first generation model.

Why does my Subaru stall at low idle?
Anyways, the car no longer stalls, and the rpms don’t sporadically dip when at an idle. The idle itself is a little rough, but i’m sure theres other reasons for that. Just wanted to share my experience since it seems a little more common then I thought.
What causes a Subaru Impreza GC8 to stall?
All the sensors were appearing fine, we pulled out the throttle body and it was pretty gunked up. We cleaned that and the air box out and everything is running much more smoothly now, a steady idle at 750 RPM’s. Thanks again for your response, shaz. Not a problem, cleaning anything completely spaced my mind. Glad you figured it out though.
