mwernerwi Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) I recently became a first-time Subaru owner. The day I drive it home a rod when through the engine. I bought another engine, and just swapped them today. At first start the engine ran fine, idled, etc...no CEL. I drove the car slightly forward and back, all was fine. The car then died. I restarted and let it idle, to the point that oil on the exhaust was starting to burn off, but there was a CEL on. After a few minutes I went to rev the engine and it died instantly. Since then, the engine will not restart. I checked fuel pressure after the fuel filter and it's fine, there is fuel pressure going to the injectors as well. If I pour a small amount of fuel into the throttle body the car will run fine, until obviously there is no more fuel left. Is this a problem with the computer not activated injectors? Or is this a timing issue? Thanks for your help. Edited August 20, 2009 by mwernerwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 What did your replacement motor come out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwernerwi Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 It came out of another 97 Impreza. I actually was able to get this solved. I swapped out the cam shaft sensor and rechecked every connector and hose. Started up and is now 100% functional. Thank you for the response.
