tweety Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Have installed the SPFI conversion in my trike. Tried to start up and no start. ECU is displaying 5 short flashes then a long pause. Have spark at the plugs, hot wired the fuel pump to prime still no start. Mate Scott (El Freddo) to come to the rescue later next week but in the meantime can anyone post a code list chart? Tried google etc and can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 First off, Subaru SPFI error codes are misleadingly uninformative on a non-starting engine. It is easy to get caught up in them if you don't know that they really say nothing more than the engine is not running normally. Compression, fuel, spark. Which one has the issue? I am assuming that you have adequate compression. Sounds pretty basic for you. Spark: Is it occurring at the right time and the right sparkplug? I am also assuming that you have a handle on this, though it is a common issue with others, Fuel: Amongst other things, the ECU relies upon a signal from the distributor to both energize the fuel pump (already mitigated by you) and to energize the injector. If provided with alternate fuel source (starting fluid, a dribble of fuel into the TB/intake hose, whatever) does this make it try to start?
