(UPDATED)

Hi all,

My 93 wrx broke down yesterday. I was driving along and it just died.
Waiting for the AA I worked out that there was an electrical gremlin.
I had lost power to the fuel pump relay and the cel light was not lit with key at ign. A bit of reading points me towards ecu power failure.

yeah i found em now thanks mate. i think this is either:
rain got in somewhere (had heavy rain all day)
piggyback chip fault
relay failing
alarm playing up

 

ive ruled out the alarm,
top suspect is now connectors by the battery have might have got water in them after the heavy rainfall. the bonnet vent drain holes drips straight onto them!
