Default gc8 turbo cut out/non start

hi everyone,please help! today my MY00 classic turbo impreza cut out after booting it out of a sharp corner,now it refuses to start! It has cut out in similar circumstances before but restarted after a few minutes.The cambelt is fine,it has fuel out the filter and a spark on at least two cylinders that i could easily check,but it just winds over and over with no signs of firing. I tried a new crank sensor before i was able to check for a spark,but it made no difference.I have been told of some relays in A pillar which could cause these symptoms but not what they do! Any ideas would be greatfully recieved. Thanks

can you hear the fuel pump buzz when you turn the key on?

I haven't listened for fuel pump,but did disconnect outlet pipe from fuel filter and got continuous fuel when cranking.

there are two fuel pump relays and a main relay next to each other in the a -pillar (they are on pre 96 anyway). one fuel relay is for prime, one for after engine start. maybe your after start one is temperemental.
