Car Info: '06 WRB STI
Don't have any yet, the STI is at Capitol Subaru atm and Jeremy is supposed to be figuring out what's wrong.
Last week I got in my car after work and the car wouldn't start. It cranked but wouldn't catch. I could hear the battery wearing down and i had my co-worker come and jump me. After a couple minutes the car started right up. I thought it was the battery. Yesterday I was feeling sick in the morning, but better by the afternoon and took it down to Capitol to get looked at, Jeremy found a disconnected ground wire between the manifold and the strut. We figured that was it, so he hooked it back up and I went on my way.
This morning, I got in my car and it didn't start, my roommate gave me a jump and it still wouldn't start after charging for 10 minutes. Called Justin and he had a tow truck come get my STI and take me down there. The warranty company got me a rental and now I'm waiting for a phone call.

sorry to hear that Paul.
we stock the walbro's if you want an upgrade, well worth it if someone is already diving in to do the job IMHO.

Thanks for the heads up Noah, but they're replacing the OEM one under warranty so it's free. =) But if it ever breaks again i'll definitely go with the upgrade!
