Hey everyone! I am thoroughly stumped! hopefully someone out there can help!
I received this 99 forester with a blow HG, it sat for 2-3 months before being worked on.
No major hiccups in disassembly/reassembly.
Now that its all back together it starts right up the first time but will only run for a few seconds then shuts off ( while pumping out white smoke). You can keep it running with the pedal but the second you stop giving it gas it dies immediately.
What I do know is;
No codes thrown on Boshc reader
Spark is good
Compression good
All vac lines connected/airbox fully assembled
All vac lines replaced besides the large diameter Y shape hose between PCV/airbox and valve cover breathers
Fuel rails, pressure regulator and injectors cleaned by hand
New fuel pump
Fuel filter not replaced because fuel flows steadily out
Fuel pressure solenoid switched with one that works(wrong name? ( green cylinder with prongs under drivers side dash by left knee)
