I found this grounded Impreza wagon, GF4 Engine EJ16 1995 Model imported from Japan. The owner says he has been to many garages to try and fix it in vain. The CEL does not come on so I was unable to read the codes. Some technician opened up the ECU and replaced some parts. The engine does not crank and the car has been grounded for two years now. I suspect that since the ECU was tampred with, it needs to be replaced. If its replaced, shall we then be able to read the codes? How much do they cost?

Any ideas welcome

Thanks

Yeah, I'd start with the ECU. You could probably find a used one for 100 bucks or so.

 

No idea if that would solve all the problems, but that's where I'd start.
