I bought a 93 WRX from Japan that landed on Friday, delighted with the car... however it doesn't start!
At first we had figured it had ran out of fuel, filled it and no joy,
Removed a plug and it was dry so am I right in thinking its not flooded?
It has spark however it the injectors don't seem to be triggering, fuel is getting as far as the rail,
Than thought possible the ECU had been fried by some numpty fitting a jump pack on the wrong way... tried a mates ECU from a 96 WRX but that didn't work (the ecu he has is a plug and play aftermarket one but figured it should at least fire up using it,
I'm now thinking crank sensor or cam sensor? Cleaned both but still no luck, going to order both in the morning but just thought id chance my arm if someone might have any ideas. I'm told the car drove both on and off the ferry but I haven't managed to start it as yet.
Cheers, Peter
