Help PLEASE :(
 

Hi Guys,

Iv given my 1995 subaru wrx to a garage to put in a new engine, the garage has fitted the engine in, but now the engine turns over but wont fire up, they have checked all fuse and relays and all is good.

Can any1 help, also to mention it has a toad alarm/immobiliser fitted.

Help PLEASE , much appriciated.

Thankyou

- Crank (and/or cam) sensor's replaced?


But if you had the immob. fitted at the same time though, my betting's on that being the issue.

Theyv used the sensors from the old engine which was running,alarm system was already installed before engine replacement

Could be a few problems mate check Earthing because the Engine been out , Also sounds like could be elic if it wont fire hard to help with out seeing the car turning over Immobiliser could be the issus but find it hard to belive it shouldnt reset . Check the Ecu also a good idea just incase yours is differnt cam sensor's can also stop the car turning over

what alarm/immobiliser have you got ?

- Is the fuel pump priming? Can you hear its 'whine' when put the ign. on?

- Did the garage open up the heads and remove the cams (for whatever reason)? If so, did they put them back in their correct places?

and did they check the plugs?:norty:

Does anyone have a idea where earthing are fitted,and how many earths they are,car ran and started fine before engine replacement,also where is the camshaft located. Also I have a toad alarm system

+1 :thumb: Sound like elic or fuel to me mate where you have all the work done ?

When put ignition on I can really hear the buzz noise from the fuel pump,also heads were not opened,was just a full engine replacement and inlet manifold from old engine to new engine

Cant* hear the fuel pump buzz as should

Can't hear it? Or can? :wonder:

Get a Vid up off you trying to trun the car over mate as for the Earths follow the battery wires will come a cross a few , also starter moter and I belive theres one at the back off the bulk head

:D Don't confuse the poor bloke. ;)

I'm sure the fuel pump ment to click and buzz when ignition is on,but it doesn't do that,alkso can't smell fuel when turn over.

Yes I'll try to geta vid up of it turning,the mechanic said he's looked it up more than 3 times and all seems to be connected fine

:idea: Thinkning about it if the Earth wasnt on right you wouldnt have any power :brickwall You need to check and see if you have any spark from your plugs you will need 2 people for this job

Take one leed off at a time place a plug at one end leaveing the other side connected to the unit place it clost to somethink metal (your trying to get it to conducted) turn the car over and see if there is a spark do this with all four but be careful :eek:

If you have spark on all 4 then its fuel issue or alarm/immobiliser :thumb:

The garage has checked and ther is spark,they now saying that ther is no live ??

:confused: You lost me no live try and explaine a little better mate know its hard some times I know I was like you at 1st lol

Afew people are saying it looks like fuel/immobiliser related,how do I deactivate the alarm/imobiliser system

Lol sorry mate only saying what the garage have told me, they saying theyv had some1 look at it and the bloke who checked it is saying there is no live, ?? Dont no what he means by it

Sounds like it to me mate some immobilisers are :cuckoo: at times if the battery was off for some time can reset it self . some immobiliser stop fuel going thought some cut the power :eek:

No live means no power Iv just Pm you mate

No power but it's got a spark?????

Yes got a spark but won't fire up,I think its immobiliser that has activated as said by mitman,going to go and try it tmz,could a low battery be the cause

Cheers for all the help, it was the immobiliser that needed reseting,thankyou mitman
