Hi everyone, so December 2018 was the first time I got to hear the WRX STi motor I purchased run. It ran rough because the intake wasn't connected, hardly any sensors hooked up, etc. However, it ran and that made me happy knowing my investment wasn't useless.
The engine that was purchased is supposed to be a subaru wrx gc8 sti v4 turbo ej20 Cut to a few months later, now I have all the required sensors (MAF, purge solenoid, ignitor, etc) that I was missing purchased and hooked up. Vacuum hoses hooked up and I thought now the engine should run and idle beautifully. Nope, it will fire and run for maybe 3 seconds then shut off. Check out the video in the link. Subaru Engine Video The only thing I dont have hooked up are to the non-pressure side of the intake. I tried plugging these holes today and the car did t idle any better. Now, I need to find a permanent solution to these holes, but I swear the engine is running worse now with everything hooked up then in December with nothing hooked up. Any ideas where I could start? I was thinking fuel pressure and timing would be my next step. In the video you can hear the fuel pump prime the system before the engine kicks over. The wiring harness was sent out to iwire services to be redone and that appears to be functioning properly. Thank you everyone for your help. |
