Needing some help

So this morning I jump in my 2011 wrx an head to work. No problem. I get to work go in an have to run back home. Car won't start. Will crank just not turn completely over. Checked all fuses, gave it some gas, nothing. Smell it though. Battery is good,starter an alternator are good. Even went as far as changing my tune on my Cobb. Cobb says I have no codes. What in the hell could this be. I'm out of things to try. Only thing I can think of its electrical maybe like something is touching or shorting out but what. Help me out people.lol

If it is flooded, starting the car with the gas pedal floored will shut off injectors during start to clear it out.

Are you running E85?

Really big injectors?

Might have a leaky injector?

Might have a bad coil pack(unlikely)

Might have a loose coil pack or 2(more likely)

Also check your exhaust pipe. Sometimes people put bananas or potatoes in there. Especially if you have a big barrel exhaust. Might help to post more details about your setup so we can point a finger.

Also check the clips on the wire harness of your injectors. If the clips are broken, you could have a loose connection. It's pretty cheap to re-pin the connector if it is broken. do you hear your fuel pump prime when you put the key in the on position without cranking it?

sounds like your Mass air flow sensor needs a good cleaning or replacement. Try to start the car with it unplugged just to see if it will start. It should start but run like poop. Be careful with the clip when you unplug it. They can be fragile.

Could be a ton of stuff. We are just nailing the easy stuff. Try Unmarrying your AP to see if you can limp on stock Unmodified rom. It's unlikely but your ecu could be having a hard time.

Would help if you'd answer questions from further up the thread.

Stock injectors, nothing wrong with exhaust, plugs seem to be fine.
