JesusLady Posted Monday at 04:29 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:29 PM (edited) I guess that's what I'm looking for. Replaced frayed timing belt but "the timing marks are so faint." The uncertainty makes me question. Fired right up after timing belt/water pump kit was installed, but when all was reassembled, car misfired then would not start. Fuel pump suddenly not priming and fuel guage not registering. "Let's buy a new fuel pump" but I wonder if it could be the main and/or fuel pump relays? Fuses? Ground wires? Please help, I've been told engine damage occurred when timing belt frayed but that's not possible (SOHC). My hunch that it's is an electrical fix has been pooh-poohed.

573417h Posted Tuesday at 12:29 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:29 AM Hi, I suspect a sensor could be incorrect, IE injector plug on CAS or similar. however, since you have indicated fuel I'd start there: - Ensure there is enough petrol and if in doubt put another 20L into it... then check to see if petrol is getting to the rail/front filter, if it is you can assume its not petrol related If its not... then hardwire the pump at the plug to a battery to see if its pumping etc, then you can start eliminating things that make the pump run ie wiring/relays. If it has fuel getting all the way to the rail/filter, then id check if it has spark, if it doesn't have spark then you can start trying to figure that why. If it has spark and fuel, then id compression test it and go from there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted yesterday at 03:15 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:15 PM Well, since you said "Fired right up after timing belt/water pump kit was installed, but when all was reassembled, car misfired then would not start." First thing I'd check would be the T-Belt. Make sure the timing is correct! Yes you should hear the fuel pump run when you first turn on the key for a few seconds. Subaru fuel pumps are much better than aftermarket pumps! You can just put a little gas into the intake and see if it fires up to check and see if it's Fuel or Spark.
