April 23, 201312 yr Ouch sorry to hear that mate. Sounds like you have tried everything. I'm not sure what to say maybe one of the other's maybe able to help more then me
April 23, 201312 yr Sounds like you've done preety much everything if it were me and seeing as you are in Surrey I'd get in touch with James @ Greenwood racing developments or Dan @ Surrey Subaru Specalists. I've had dealings with both, very good. I would also suggest visiting http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=77 as they both have forums in the Trade section there there along with Simon @ Jolly Green Monster they all have very good reputations with the Surrey Scoobies Membership.
April 23, 201312 yr must admit I'm stumped you have fuel and a spark - after it cut out whilst driving - only thing I can think of is a split tube somewhere leaking all the good stuff before it gets to the chambers
April 24, 201312 yr Well the good news is your not on your own you got us puzzled too. :( Think best thing would to do what Pete said and get it into one of those place's he has listed :( Have to let us know what they say if that's ok
April 24, 201312 yr im building a rally spec wrx sti, and having just fitted everything, it too wont fire up, it will turn over etc , like yours, after checking we have found the immobiliser is missing from the loom, so the key and the ecu wont talk too each other. the immobiliser it seems controls the injectors, so they shut down. to cure it its going to Geoff jones motorsport in wales to have a motec ecu fitted with anti lag. stu
April 24, 201312 yr Have you got a spare MAF you could try? They usually give a CEL when they go but it's worth checking. Sounds like you have checked everything else.
April 24, 201312 yr Author Wheres this meant to go? Its hanging there it May be why car not starting , ive gt spark and fuel i tried easy start too but nothing
April 24, 201312 yr Hi there i think it's definitely your immobilizer this is why your car is not starting

April 25, 201312 yr Still worth a look to see where it goes. Either way it's not meant to be like that, and agreed can't see it letting you have fuel and spark :( but who knows you might get lucky :)
April 25, 201312 yr Author I can smell fuel in cylinders tho, im gna change spark plugs tonight will all update as spark may be !Removed!
April 25, 201312 yr I don't think that would stop the car as you are driving along - maybe to have it run lumpy or not on all cylinders but I believe your problem is common to the whole engine, a sensor defective somewhere that has killed the engine but as you are returning zero EML faults I, as suggested, would rule out the immobiliser first
April 25, 201312 yr Hi there, so you say you don't think it's the immobiliser that's doing it. You're gettng a spark and you're getting fuel so that is eliminated to a certain degree, are you getting a spark at the right time when the valves and piston are coming up to TDC? If you're not that means that something has jumped out of place which is going to be the crank position or cam position pick up points. Also make sure that on the ECU the female block connectors under the floor pan havn't worked their way loose. I would check to make sure it is firing at TDC, if not there's you're problem. I've owned Subaru's for the past fifteen years and own my own garage so i'm pretty certain its something to do with the cam or crank position sensor.
