Hi guys, jumped in the car this afternoon and it wont turn over. Ignition lights up, fuel pump sounds like it primes as normal. Turning the key it doesnt even attempt to turn over but i can hear the fuel pump doing some work in the boot. Was running fine yesterday, but isnt that always the case .

I live on a hill so tried bump starting the car but didnt work, i live near the bottom of the hill and ran out of road after two attempts. Never realy done a bump before though so could be user error :P.

I would take it to Sheffield Subaru Service but i cant get the damn thing there ofcourse lol. ANy advice greatly appreciated!

Car is a uk turbo 97 model, running td0516g, walbro 500lph, 555 nismo injectors, Apexi Power FC. Any other info required please ask away.

Battery,starter or imobiliser if its not cranking

I donjt think its the imobiliser as when thats on the fuel pump and ignition dont come on either.. although it could be faulty and not fully disarming i guess?

Battery and starter would be my cheif suspects, hoping to eliminate the battery tonight when a friend comes round and ill stick the jump leads on. Hopefully its just the battery then, a nice easy fix .

Thanks for your reply

Alternator or battery at my guess

Does it turn over?.

Genrix

No, doesnt even attempt too

If the battery is flat the alarm beeps twice when you try to turn over..

Genrix

Dont get any beeps when i turn the key, i would imagine such a feature is alarm model specific though?

dazsti72

All newage do it from the stock alarm,unless their is nothing left in the battery al all.

Genrix

Ahh mines a classic ('97) with a Toad alarm.

Have you checked all you lights and radio to see it is the battery?
After that it could be a host of things.

Ok i managed to get it started, jump leads from a friends car. But to answer your question the lights worked and the stereo worked. Once the jump leads had been on a minute or two it fired right up, didnt need to turn over a couple of times before it fired it was first turn of the key lol. I guess i need to get a new battery, which is good and probably the cheapest problem to fix hehe.
