Have installed the SPFI conversion in my trike.  Tried to start up and no start.  ECU is displaying 5 short flashes then a long pause.  Have spark at the plugs, hot wired the fuel pump to prime still no start. Mate Scott (El Freddo) to come to the rescue later next week but in the meantime can anyone post a code list chart?

 

Tried google etc and can find one.

Must not have had the right search term, came right up for me:

First off, Subaru SPFI error codes are misleadingly uninformative on a non-starting engine.  It is easy to get caught up in them if you don't know that they really say nothing more than the engine is not running normally.

 

Compression, fuel, spark.  Which one has the issue?

 

I am assuming that you have adequate compression.  Sounds pretty basic for you.

 

Spark:  Is it occurring at the right time and the right sparkplug?  I am also assuming that you have a handle on this, though it is a common issue with others,

 

Fuel:  Amongst other things, the ECU relies upon a signal from the distributor to both energize the fuel pump (already mitigated by you) and to energize the injector.  If provided with alternate fuel source (starting fluid, a dribble of fuel into the TB/intake hose, whatever) does this make it try to start?

The 5 short flashes are a specification code.

5= 49 state car w/manual trans

thanks for that guys.  Northwet- will be checking the firing soon. had that issue once before. Printed out the codes. thankyou.
