Hopper4ua Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I pulled my engine to change clutch. With the engine re-installed, the fans come on as soon as I hook the battery up. If I turn the key on the fans turn off. I don't hear the fuel pump priming. Gas gauge reads zero but it has gas. Car will not start. When I turn the key off the temp gauge goes to hot and the small red oil light very slowly fades instead of turning off. I changed the water pump, oil pump, and timing set while engine was out. I have zero clue what I have done wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Sounds like something electrical is connected backwards. A WRX has crazy wiring with full redundancy in the wiring for all systems. Go back and check all your power connections, even at the battery terminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper4ua Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Ya it was ground that I had power to. Oops. Now 1&2 tgv are stuck closed. Wondering if it's from sitting for 4 weeks or electrical gremlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Did you take off the sensor on that side? And maybe put it back incorrectly? Otherwise, electrical wouldn't have any effect on the TGV. Good video about it: Emily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper4ua Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I did not pull sensors. Both sensors are getting power and ground. Driver side motor is showing power, passenger side isn't getting power. Trying to find fuse/relay/power source for it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper4ua Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Actually the driver side is showing power and ground on both wires. Passenger side is showing ground on one wire and no power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper4ua Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Both sensors showing 5 volts, one motor showing 5 volts, one motor showing 0 volts. All showing good grounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Both sensors showing 5 volts, one motor showing 5 volts, one motor showing 0 volts. All showing good grounds It's broke. It happens. If it was me, I'd be looking for a replacement about now unless you feel like disassembling it and fixing it, if possible. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper4ua Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I pulled the motors, they both work. One side's butterflies were sticking. I got it loosened up a bit. Now I'm throwing p1090, p1092, p1094. Stating stuck open tgv and open circuit. I'm not getting continuity btw tps and tgv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper4ua Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Were you saying the motor is broke or the butterfly assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 you might consider a TGV delete if this continues to be a problem. You will need to flash the ECU's rom to kill the associated codes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Were you saying the motor is broke or the butterfly assembly? The motor. At least, that's what it sounded like. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
