Very nice mate :thumb:
|
So i have now fitted the engine into the WRX this weekend but cant get it to run, i have changed the ECU the chip in the key and basically every box from the STI to the WRX. I have fuel getting up to the engine and i have a spark, whe turns over lovely she just will not fire? The STI speedo that i fitted in aswel the outside temp doesnt seem to be working either but that could be anything the only thing that seems suspect is that when you take the key out of the ignition the key light on the dash just flashes now and again
http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps8070a8dd.jpg |
Sounds like crank sensor, have you checked the fuses in the wrx ?
|
what the ones in the engine bay fuse box?
|
yes there are 2 of them that go to cam and crank sensor.
Just popped to the garage for a look at mine, they are the 2 smaller square ones in the centre i think, dont know which one is which though |
oh right no didnt think to check them lol it ran fine in the STI so ill just change them all lol
|
Someone might of pinched them as I recon they are quite expensive and if the shell is from a breakers you can bet they are for sale on ebay, and folks always pinch fuses and relays at breakers yards, pain in the arse if it's what your looking for, one of the relays on my transporter is £90.:eek:
|
if it aint them then looks like ill have to get someone with some diagnostic gear to see if they can fault find lol
|
Tim Farmer at Subbus, he will come to you and is in your area. Number is 07880661866.;)
|
oh right nice mate cheers for that
|
she now runs so im happy so i can take it back out and start to rebuild it
