Hi guys,

We're building up a GC8 to go rallying this year. We've bought a caged car, but it's a bit of a bitsa, so we're having some problems getting it to start.

The car was initially a japanese v5 STi, but it has '98 WRX running gear (including the loom) from a crashed jdm wagon. Now, we think we've got everything connected correctly, but it doesn't start.

It's got fuel pressure, compression, but the injectors aren't firing (tested this by using the old screwdriver stethescope trick) when the engine turns over.

Can anyone tell me how the clutch interlock works? If the pedal is up and the switch is connected correctly, will the engine crank, but not fire, or not crank at all?

Will an Impreza crank if the gearbox isn't in neutral - we're not sure if we've got everything on the gearbox connected properly.

Cheers!

Other suggestions welcome. We've swapped two ecus in, but both of them are STi ones, not WRX...


Curly.
