2.5 sti wont run, tried everything :(

07 December 2013 - 02:34 PM

Hey guys and girls,

 

I am completely lost as to what I can do, my WRX died on the freeway a few weeks ago while I was on boost in fourth gear, driving at about 90 kph, when I rolled to a stop, the car would turn over and start but then stalled after about 3-5 seconds. I had it towed home, and have tried everything but it still doesn't start and idle, it runs for about 5 seconds max, sometimes it misses a bit and sometimes it seems to run smoothly for those couple of seconds. If I touch the throttle the car stalls immediately.

 

Things I have done

  • checked fuel pump
  • drained and cleaned fuel tank
  • checked fuel lines
  • checked fuel pressure
  • checked fuel filter
  • tested afm
  • checked for any popped hoses

when my mobile mechanic came past he said that the fuel pressure was good but it was not constant, but believes that this is not an issue.

I thought maybe the alarm was the problem but mine is not the original brant so I don't know how to check,

 

I would love if anyone who knows about these cars could come and take a look (I can supply beer lol)

or if anyone could recommend someone that is mobile. I am located in Bella Vista NSW.

 

I am sure it is probably something so simple, like a sensor, but its not throwing an engine light and I am not sure how I could check the computer for any codes (apexi power fc)

 

Any help Would be greatly appreciated :)
