hello subie brothers and sisters, i have 02 WRX wagon, it stalled in 2nd coming out of a corner. i wuz not drifting of beating on her. i managed to get it to the side of the road shut the egine off but it would'nt restart? she is now home after the flatbed ride. my mods are HKS up/turbo back Hyper exhaust, STI tmic, K&N drop in with air intake silencer dealte elbow & ramp, GFB adjustable bov, and grounding kit. she has a 3 month old Optima and i just changed the oil & filter in Jan. with mobile one. she turns over good but will not fire/start? what could it be? any ideas? thanks in advance.

 

Did you change the fuel pump or did something to the ECU? How many miles on the car are you the original owner? What alarm do you have? Sorry for asking so many question just trying to help.

 

hey, the computer is stock no UTEC/reflash of any type. the WRX has 43 thousand miles, cant' give a exact number because battery is out of car. i purchase in 02 with 26 thousand miles on her. i am the 2nd owner. the wagon was totaly stock. but not for long, wink wink.. i was thinking about the alarm too hmm. it's an Auidovox , it does have started-kill. it was installed by a friend who has worked in the install bay at Best Buy for 7 years, he's good. the alarm has been in the car for almost a year. hey bro thanks for the quick reply. i am currently changing the plugs and fuel filter. this is the 2x i have done this. 1x wuz right after i purchased her. #1 and #2 plugs look fine, so far so good. i keep ya posted. oh yea! thanks again for the fast reply.

 

maybe MAF sencor or somthing to do with the STI intercooler piping. I know it doesn't fit exactly right, you may have leak. If you have a hole anywear in your intake piping before the Throttle body, it will do this, so I would check all of this and tighten everything down.

 

i have now changed the furl filter and all plugs. still will not start? any ideas..

 

Did you scan for codes(P0340= reflash)? See if you can push start it and check your 60amp fuse in the main box under the hood.

 

thanks guys i will check and give that a try in the morning, keep your fingers crossed. i 'll keep ya posted. thanks again for the help..

 

hello subie nation! it's ALIVE! well after replacing the plugs and fuel filter i tried to start her, nothing. returned backed to the forum and someone mentioned something about fuses. i had already checked the fuses but checked again. prior to that i also read on the forum some place about the noise the fuel pump makes putting fuel pressure in the lines, i no longer heard that noise. i then checked the fuse box in the engine bay and there it was the 2nd bus fuse on the 2nd row was bad (SBF) no#5. i replaced it and tried to start. prior to starting i listened for the fuel pump noise there it was again! she fires right up! thanks to all who buzzed in. thank you SUBIE NATION!!!!!

 

hello, subie nation. my car just stalled again! i know shut the front door! it wuz the same fuse. i replaced it. has anyone had this problem please let my know. what might cause this? bad fuel pump? any advise and or opinions well always help. unless it's to buy a neon so far she runs fine. she stalled in 2nd in a corrner again. i managed to roll her to my garage. hhmmmm???? what's going on!

 

can it be the BOV? My friend's evo would die on him on and off because his BOV wasn't secure enough. He had to buy a high pressure clamp before his problem went away.

 

How much fuel was in the tank when this happened?

 

hello, subie nation its me (rally me) but for some reason i had to re-register, i changed my hotamail account and don't know my old password. ANYWAYS. i took the car to the Autozone and they read the code. the last cel wuz P1130 fuel air meter. does this help any? to answer those who have tried to help, the wagon wuz at have tank. shes running good. i adjusted the GFB bov to 50/50 thinking it my be the egine thinking she wuz running too rich in between shifts at 100% thus trying to adjust? does this make sense? please your 2 cents might help. thank in advance. peace.

 

heavyarmscustoms, i will check the bov. thanks for looking out.

 

Subie Nation, i just talked to Masturo Surbaru in Tampa. they have told me that the P1130 is a problem with the 02 sensor on the exhaust manifold before the up-pipe. i do remember funking it up during the fun filled weekend that will foever be remembered as, 48 hours of up-pipe install or hey! i am missing a down-pipe nut, did i leave it in the turbo? well they have informed me that this is the first they have heard of a WRX throwing fuel pump fuses. hmm... i am parking her until i can work on these prob... issues this weekend.
