Hi All, hoping for some help. I have a 2011 Impreza that sometimes starts like there is nothing wrong with her. Other times she will just crank and crank and crank and most times eventually kick on but sometimes I have to leave her sit for a few hours and then bam, she'll light up like there's nothing wrong. Sometimes I see the CEL and stability lights on and flashing cruise, other times no lights at all. I can hear the fuel pump and relay kick on when I turn the key. I have even pulled the fuel line and run the pump and it does work...just not sure if the pressure is sufficient. My first instinct is fuel pump issue but at $500 I'm trying not to replace until I know for sure what the problem is. Sometimes when it is in crank no start mode, I can spray starting fluid in the throttle body and she kick on briefly...although last night I tried that trick and it did not work at all. I pulled one plug and it looked fine but replaced it with a new one (plan to replace all but they are buried and tedious). Comp test in that cylinder also good. Put a can of Heet in with full tank after this started I suspected water in gas. This seems (not exactly sure) to have started when I had some corrosion on the battery terminals that was causing a weak connection. Cleaned battery terminals and started to have this crank no start issue. Probably no connection but a month ago I had a new clutch put in at the dealer. Very soon heading to advance to have codes read as I understand that even if the CEL is off there might be codes present. Could not get the 'lights and trip ODO reset' trick to work to read codes. Any guesses from the community would be welcomed and appreciated, trying to avoid going to dealer and having them throw parts at it until it works again. Thanks All!!!
