i have a 06 wrx running a cobb ap. i started my car it ran for a second and died. i turn the key on and the fans automatically start running. i dont hear the fuel pump running with the key on and i couldnt find a fuse or relay for it. any suggestions?

 

hmm any other symptoms before the car started to have this issue? Also what other mods do you have?

 

car has catless dp, catless exhaust and a spt intake

 

does it start up and turn off right away every time you start it up?

 

also have you disconnect the test conectors after flashing the ecu with cobb?

 

i doesnt start at all anymore and i had the cobb flashed on the ecu for a year or so now

 

did u check battery?? did u install or remove anything before this??

 

battery is good. didnt do anything else to the car but the car does sit without running during the week

 

alternator???

 

It could be a bad ignition switch.

 

Air, fuel, spark

It sounds as if you are getting it to turn over, so the spark is there. Your intake hasn't changed so air is reaching the combustion chamber. The fact that you don't hear the fuel pump priming leads me to believe either the fuel pump relay has gone bad, or the fuel pump itself is bad. You can check the relay by swapping it with a known good one. The relay you are looking for will be in the under hood fuse box.

 

Are you sure it isn't out of gas? Sometimes the sending unit goes bad and your fuel level could be lower than you think. Pouring in a gallon or 2 is a good idea unless you know for sure that it has gas.

 

^^^this

not to be a smart *** but Chad has a point.

 

Seems like the pump would be louder when dry, but he doesn't hear it at all. Disconnect the sending line and see if you're getting fuel.

 

I second checking the fuel pump relay. Its in the kick panel passenger side under the glove box. there are 2-3 relays there it will be the Green plug
