Unlikely there is a factory immobiliser on a 96 WRX although if it has an aftermarket alarm it might do then.

If it turns over but doesn't fire crank position sensor could be the culprit. You need to put the car into test mode via the connectors under the dash to see if there are any error codes coming up.

Cobra's are good - rarely foul up, if fitted by an accredited VSIB installer.

That's not to say it's impossible, of course.

i had a problem like that.

can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition before starting?

if not its not working, i replaced the fuel pump - faily easy job and it was sorted.

thats what mine was.

good luck
