Why car?
My 02 WRX decided not to start after driving it today. I did nothing strange or out of the normal when I drove. The car cranks but wont turn over and I hear a ticking noise. First time this happen to me so just wondering if any of you had similar issues? I tried searching, but I dont see anyone with similar causes. My mods are that of a Stage 2 but with a proper tune and EWG. Any ideas?

First i would recommend, if you have a multimeter, check to make sure you have at least 12.6V at the battery when off. If you have less than 12.4V, your car wont start. Try to jump it using another car. If it starts while using another car and keeps running good, your alternator and starter are fine but your batt is bad. If your car starts but seems to sag or unable to run things properly like stereo and lights, you may have a bad alternator ( i have one for sale ).

Wouldn't hurt to play with the relays too. Swap the horn relay for the fuel pump relay and see if it kicks on. That's what I did when my fuel pump was dead.

Alright so after digging into the gas tank, the connector to my fuel pump was jacked up. I tried the pump relay first. Good thing I had bought an extra install kit. I changed out the connector when I first swapped fuel pumps from the start, but don't know why this one burnt out. Anyway problem is fixed. Tnks guys!!
