Hi guys.

A mate of mine has just bought a '95 JDM WRX, and has started having problems with it. Initially, it wouldn't start when hot, this has gone from just leaving it a few minutes to over 2 hours, and it occasionally cuts out while decelerating too. Engine turns over fine, just doesn't fire.
We're hoping to get a look at it over the weekend, change the spark plugs, filters etc, but also thinking it might be fuel pump or ecu temp sensor? Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Ritchie

 

Crank position sensor.. common fault..

it is located between the pulleys and belt on the front of the block in the middle.

Oh and you can get a secondhand replacement from www.hdcsubaru.com

 

Thanks for that, we'll get it checked out

 

Have you done a CEL check?

Look here http://www.saxonfields.freeserve.co.uk/

It should tell you what the fault is I'm with JGM on the CPS though. Spose it could be the water temp sensor (also a common fault)?

Thats awesome, cheers guys. He's only had it about a month so we were dreading the fact he'd bought a dog, but fingers crossed we can sort it now.
