Default Help please car wont start

Hi guys and girls.
I have a WRX MY02 tuned at All Star Garage. When I put in pin code I usually hear the fuel pump prime, now I hear nothing (New pump fitted a Year ago Warnbro 550hp something) . Then then engine turns over, engine light is on and stays on and car does not start. Yesterday we had alot of rain (car parked and not running at the time) when I drove home the engine light was on and 5 mins later the car stalled and lost powerand stopped. I could not start it... 5mins later at the lights(embarrrasing as it was) the car started with the engine light on still, got 2 mins down the road and it stopped again .Finally it started again and I got the car home. Still the same thing now at home, start car sometimes and when it does start the engine light is on and it will cut out without notice even though the car is running smooth.
Is it my immobiliser or fuel pump or maybe something else.
Please help or I have to get it towed on Monday to Subaru and hopefully they can still access the CPU even though it has been verso tuned.
plz plz

Search "brant" on here. Sounds like a well documented issue with the security system. Hopefully you can confirm that before towing it to Subaru who will attempt to bend you over to replace it with a new system. If it does turn out to be Brant shitting itself, get it ripped out and replace it with an aftermarket system.

I have come to the conclusion based on you posts that i should.
1. Tow it to Subaru to find the issue .
2. If it is the Brandt alarm and its too expensive to replace get it towed to a Auto electrician to put in a new alarm as Brandt alarms suck.

I was just thinking that if it is the Brandt, the thing is a death trap waiting to happen, as I was coming up to a busy intersection when the car cut out and l was lucky I rolled out of the way of on coming traffic!!!

Thanks for the help, had it towed to Subaru wangara cost $500 for a new alarm. I didn't have time to take it elsewhere . If I knew it was the alarm for sure I would have taken it somewhere else. Anyway problem solved
