Cars died on me :-(
Was driving down the road this morning and the engine just cut out 
it will turn over at a good speed but wont fire up 
recently it has been sounding like its going to cut out before the engine warms up from a cold start but then its fine when the temp gets up
Someone lightly front ended me just over a week ago pushing the drivers head light in and since then the turbo timer comes on some days and not others and its only done that since the bump but the cars been driving fine once warmed up when the timmer has been on and when it hasnt
Cars a 93 WRX Type RA.

Been back down to the car this morning and tried it again, still no joy but i cant hear anything when the ignition is on so guess its the fuel pump or immobilizer
Hopefully will get it recovered later today.

How hard is it to fit a fuel pump? are they in the petrol tank on the classics?

its a 20min job. or failing that the immobiliser may have kicked in or the main ecu relay may be faulty its the green one behind the dash on the o/s a pillar might be worth checking as my 95 impreza wrx has done this to me twice before.
