idosubaru Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 like they said check the fuses and fusible links. i guess this is an EJ vehicle. on the EA series hooking up the battery the wrong way may fry the ECU. it actually blows part of the fuel pump circuit inside the ECU so everything works fine by the engine got no fuel. i got one to run one time that had this happen by hard wiring the fuel pump.

keltik Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Just be carefull not to drive the car more than 88 mph! I think only the XT/XT6 came equipped with the flux capacitor so you should be safe. Just check fuses and links, if i had a dollar for everytime i'd done this...well...i could buy a pie, and maybe a can of coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
