My WRX95:

Starts and then it dies after 5 seconds everytime!!!!

Have tried:
Flushing all fuel
New ECU
Tried sensors, no codes on reader.
Timing is OK

It starts idles aroudn 2k, then just dies out. Doesnt like gas pedal to keep revs up either, just dies!!!

Any idea's please.

 

Tried the fuel pump?

 

Yea new fuel pump last month

 

Fuel pump solanoid?

 

Where would that be found?

 

At least check the fuel pressure first.

 

Where u based?

 

I am based near Bristol.

 

You have connected the correct sensors for the CEL check? (Black ones)

 

I didnt do the test that way, my mechanic tested on a subaru test device
(he works at a main dealers)

First time round loads of codes came up, then tested removed, refitted sensors and nothing comes up now.


The car just dies with revs at aroudn 5 secs, it trys to settle, then as calms down, it goes all the way down and stalls

 

this may be way off but i remember the old vauxhall motronic set up and wen the car was cold the water temp senser would tell ecu it was hot and shut the idle fuel down or off totaly so its not enough to keep it running so stalls.. may be its this case the sensor is that bad its just shuting fuel right down????????
just a thought...

 

im kinding of having the same problem,on warm start up it starts straight away,but revs die to around 200 revs before kicking back up again,hasnt stalled as of yet tho,just annoying...let me know how u get on mate

 

i had the same problem a few weeks ago on start up in the morning it would cut out. ended up being the coolant sensor 40 pound from subaru.

 

i've got 1 here for 15 quid posted

 

pm sent.

so looking between maf and coolant sensor(water temp) at mo?

 

If its the maf it should be showing the wrong voltage when plugged in.

 

It doesnt start at all again and sinks of fuel.

I think am gonna bite the bullet and ring a garage
