this car still wont start. i'm at the end?
ok, today i've changed the cam senser & the crank senser.
know i do get a spark, but the one for pot 3 don't spark at all. the other 3 do. the wiring in the engine bay is fine, i've checked every wire. is there any fuses for the coils at all. i've checked all the one in the bay, in the fuse holder & all are fine.
i even changed the ecu & its the same, i even changed the injectors. to find they work perfect too. the timming belt is lined up fine too.
where does the coil number 3 go, apart from to the side of the battary.
i tryed to chase the wires to the ecu, followed the colores but with no luck.
if i dont get this car sorted very soon, im leaving subarus well alone. i've had nothing but probs with this car.
any advice would be great

Have you tried the ignitor which is fixed behind the boost soleniod bracket.
Also try swapping a coil packs around with the pot 3 coil.
Also check your fueling?

its not that ignitor at all mate, i've just even changed the cam pullies over as i had the metal sti v2 ones fitted. even with the plastic pullie on there, still dont start. for some reason, coil number 3 wont spark at all. but its not the coil its self. is there anyone/garage ect, who wont charge to much to find this problem.
i won't to get the car working so i can get rid of the thing, this has to be the worst car i've ever had. it spends more time off the road than it does on
please help me with this car, i've had it!
