Stevethefolkie Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (*&^$$^&*@~!!~~~*(^$(@! subaru - at least the @55hole who designed the dash assembly ... anyhow .... removed dash .... disconnected thousands of wiring harness connectors .... removed old heater core ... installed new heater core (funny - the actual heater core exchange took about 3 minutes once you dug DOWN to it) - installed everything - hooked all the crap back up and no start - she cranks - all the accessories work - the only thing I'm lacking is the engine running. Going to try to figure out if it's a fuel or spark issue tomorrow - kinda beat from the days festivities .... Any / all ideas appreciated Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If you can't see any connectors that you haven't connected, then first try to tighten each set - make sure they are fully seated. If that fails then you need to start tracing the power and ground leads to the ECU as it controls fuel pump operation and ignition system operation. You are missing fuel or spark by the sounds of it. Could be as simple as the fuel pump relay not being plugged in. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Bet you a box of doughnuts the problem eventually will be discovered to be part of some wiring harness not connected. have pulled a few dashes myself over the years and know from experience it is very easy to overlook one or two connectors.

You win - plugging in the fuel pump relay really helps ....... - she's all back together now - good heat - just in time for summer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 good heat - just in time for summer ! I just flushed my heater core as well. Got good heat and currently having 60 degree mornings. I had to flush mine has the Brat was running a little warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
