help...hunk of crap wont start
Ok, one night, i was taking off from a stoplight, and all of a sudden, the car stalls...umm, ok. hit the key, turns over like 35 times and no fire...lotsa curse words come out of my mouth as i realized i had to push the car by myself at 2 am in 15 degree temp over half a block to the shop (i only weigh like 135, so it was a workout). Next day, after some diagnosing, i assume it was the fuel pressure regulator. order a new one of subie...$120, ouch...still no fire. finally give in and take it to the dealership. they said they could get no communication with the ecu whatsoever, and that teh ecu wasnt communicating with the engine at all. They said that their best guess is that the ecu fried...crap. After searching, Green1995svx sold me his for a good price. got it today, installed it, still no fire at all, car just turns over endlessly...doesnt even want to start. i hate this car and just want it to run already...any help would be grealy appreciated

Fusible link would cause zilch -- no crank, no nothin' (I know from experience ) My recent no-start problem was due to a bad battery. Even though it had juice, it didn't have enough CCA to crank the engine-- even with my booster pack or a jump. Also, was the ECU 'known good?' Is the fuel pump working? Can you draw codes from the u-check? If so, ECU is "talking." When was the fuel filter last changed . . . we could go on and on, unfortunately. Have you checked spark, from the igniter?

Randy, I recently had the same problem on my hibernating 95. I try to run it every so often so the battery won't die, but two weeks ago it needed a jump before it would run. Last week even with a jump it wouldn't start. Dave |
