I will try that tomorrow. But I'm pretty sure it won't help. Because when I crank the engine it doesn't have spark. At least that's what the ignition lamp is telling me. But then again if I pull one spark lead of, the Sparks shoot out of the coil. But thanks for the tip. Really need help on this one????

Hey. having some problems with my impreza gt 97. EJ20G. Tested the car yester day after i changed the clutch. To day i were just changing the steering fluid. After that the car wont start. The car have been hard to start some times before. but have always started. Now it wont start. i can hear the fuel pump running. Installed new spark plugs, New coil and plug wires. The compression is good. When i pull out the spark plugs they are wet from gasoline. When i pull of the plug wires, sparks shoot out. When i connect a Ignision lamp??? not sure what its named on english. Its the thing that show your spark plug timing/ flashing light on the crank. It does not flash. If i keep cranking the engine about 15 sec. the engine almost starts, and the ignision lamp flashes a few times. So i guess the problem have something to do with that. I have read troublecodes. Getting Code 24 and 32. Been told that if the taco meter move when i crank the engine, the crank sensor is in working order. Were do i go from here??? Please help

Installed a new tensionner and timed it up. started right away. tested compression, its all good no bad sounds. The vaves cleared the pistons!!! Car is finaly up and running good!! Thanks for the help!! I got lucky this time

Thanks for the help btw just need to order some parts now:P

I guess thats what caused it then. compressed the tensioner too fast i guess.

This does not make sense. How is this possable??? car were running fine home, no problems at all, Next day when i were going to start. it run on 3 sylinders... Crank/cam timing Right side is good Crank-good Left side. exhaust is way off!! Bah, now i might need a new head dont see how this is possable. Installed a brand new cambelth kit in january. pulling in the cambelt now its not loose. its at the spec its suppose to be. Any one know to this might happen?

well, i havent cheked the timing. everything were replased when the engine were rebuildt in january. and then the timing were spot on. And the car were running fine the last time i were driving home. Next day. it was running on 3 sylinders. Dont see the need to looking at timing but will check it anyway.

Been trying to manually read the ecu codes. But when i connect just the black wires the check engine lamp just keeps blinking. not giving any code. when i connect the green ones and black ones at the same time the lamp just stays iluminated.

yep, Any way i can test them? i can messure to resistance right? just need to find out what the resistance is suppose to be

Its too old, it came a few years later on the impreza

All the plugs are connected, and the fuses are fine Wont fire at all now

Dident help, still the same. wont start, sounds like its not trying to. like there is no ignision.

The compression is good, removed the injector and turned the ignision on. the injector is getting fuel. installed it again and now the engine wont start at all. its like there is no ignision now. It might be some kind of anit theft system? there is also a warninglight in the dash, but i dont have the book for the car, and everything online is japanese. Anyone know that this sign might be?? its not the handbreak.

Im pretty sure that its getting spark, When i pull of the pluglead sparks fly out of the coil. When you check the wiring to the coil, Did you just use a multimeter and messure the risistance? Or use the Beep thing that tells if the wire have connection? Nope. looks good, Engine Havent been smoking, or using any oil/ water. Wont be able to test the compression to day, because i need a hand to do that test. I might be able to do it in the weekend. I will come bake with the numbers later

Going to do another compression test to morrow. Going to do a test at the other sylinders as well. Not sure if i understood you right, Compression Under boost??? how can i do that test?? What i have used is the standard tool. That you just press into the sparkplugg and have someone to crank the engine a few secounds. When i take out the spark plug, On the sylinder that dont run. it smells of gass, But its not wet. Im also going to take out the injector to morrow and the crank the enegine to see if there is fuel spurts out. I also notised that one of the injectors may be damaged. but not sure it it makes any difference. At top of the injector there is a Tap, that goes into the bracket that holds the injector in place. But that injector is now on one of the sylinders that run. If you look at the grey injector, you can see that Tap/ thing stikking out at the top of the injector. This is missing on one of mine. The injector that have been damaged/missing the tap, Was the one on the sylinder not running. Not sure if it makes a difference Thanks for the Reply`s

Hey. Having some problems with my Impreza gt 1997. Ej20 turbo. The car was running fine, Drove it home like normal one night and parked it. The next day It was running on 3 sylinders. So then i started looking for failures.( sorry about my English) I have tryed everything i think. I dont know to number the sylinders on boxer engines. But its the sylinder at the rear left that wont run. When i pull of the spark lead there is no change. I have changed spark plugs, spark leads. Coil, deliverd the injector for testing. Came back fine. Swapped the injector with one from the other sylinder. No change. Tested the compression 8kg-80 psi i think:P. Took out the fuel pump. filter/bag looks like new, Changed fuel filter. took out the injector again.filter looks like new/clean. Engine were rebuildt in january. Sylinders were fine!. cams looked brand new, New multilayer steel gaskets. maskined the heads. Please help me, dont know what else to try! workshop prices in norway are unbelivable. 60 min is like 180 usd.....
