Cheela Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Subaru will not start, there is spark on all four plugs (1800 FI) There appears to be gas as well. Any suggestions???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 After pulling a sparking plug or two to make sure they are not fouled. Then pulling the distributor cap and making sure the small screw holding the rotor in place is indeed holding the rotor in place. Try pouring some petrol down the throttle body. What is the temp. where you live, the coolant temp sensor could be knackered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 well since there is spark at the plugs we can rule out a broken timing belt. has anyone ever worked on the motor before. check the distributor alignment it will point to #1 on the cap, the farthest back to the right of the clip on the cap. it is possible the disty could have jumped a gear but the only time i have seen that happen was due to a cam retainer havong stripped thread allowing the cam to walk.. it is more likely for the timing belt to jump a tooth also lets verify the ign alignment and go from there read this and run through the alignment procedure, you can remover the outer belt covers http://www.warpthree.com/milesfox/subaru/service/timingbelt.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Good point Bill he says he has spark at the plugs Drivers side belt snapped -> no spark as dist doesn't turn but pass side snaps - may start or try to Now how about belt stripped or slipped a few teeth. Needs to do some homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john templer Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Subaru will not start, there is spark on all four plugs (1800 FI) There appears to be gas as well. Any suggestions???? Just joined the club. I have 1986 Sub. just like yours and had same problem.There is a coil on the distributor which has a open circuit.You will have to pull the distributor out,to see the coil.I had to have my car towed to the dealer because the garage mechanic was baffled.
