vincentmoy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 So, my 98 Impreza OBS 5MT with about 190k was invloved in a drive way accident last weekend and resulted in a bended hood and some other front end damages. On Monday, my roommate and I were fiddling around with it and it cranked right up. Then it was sitting until today. I went out and started it and made sure it ran for a couple minutes, then I turn it off and went back to the house. About an hour later I went back out, clean off some snow and try to start it again. This time it cough (sounds like it caugh but once I release the key it died) the first time. After that, it will crank all day (well, more like 5 mins) and won't catch. Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Pull the codes with a scanner. If you don't have one, disconnect the battery for a couple of hours. Put the battery on a charger to make sure it's fully charged and then hook it back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Check fuses first. Then check for spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
