[Running On 2 Cylinders :(]

Odd that it can run on only two?! Should just stall out the engine. Let us know how you go with testing

[Car running rich as hell, white smoke everywhere, rough idle, won't start now]

Appreciate all the input into my previous thread however, this morning I am faced with something new. Last night I took the car to get a new air filter (put it in) and on the way home I started to notice power issues with the car at any rpm and even on full boost.

This morning I started the gf8 STI and white/blue smoke started pouring out and smelt rich of fuel. Car was running rough as anything also, sounded like it was misfiring and had piss all power even on full boost (as I mentioned earlier) wheni took it for a drive.

Had a mechanic look at it who thought it was the leads/plugs and he’s probably right.

The car won’t start at all now as I started and idled her a few times to check the leads one at a time. No sound from the fuel pump priming when I turn the key now and the last time the car started I heard a small bang when I turned the key once... Perhaps the relay?

I have pulled the pump put and checked it on a car battery charger and it\'s running fine. I just put it back in despite all the recommendations to change to a Walbro maybe I’ll do that next?

My guess now is that the plugs are flooded due to a faulty MAF sensor. Have bought one off trade me and I guess I’ll get it on Tuesday?

Will check the plugs tomorrow (because it’s a bastard of a job) and check their condition. I\'m guessing if I clean them and dry them out that the car will start briefly until they\'re again flooded and then stall.

I also found this thread that describes my problem nearly exactly.

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks again for all the feedback regarding my fuel flap.

[Fuel door wont open]

Are you sure? I am over 6ft and no luck maybe because I have the wagon? Lol two years now, who needs replacement parts? My mate suggested a piece of sponge

Good find! Friday afternoon is not the best time to ask people to get in touch with you... I\'ve got in touch with a wrecker and will take the parts i bought from the Subaru dealer to see if they can be any use. Think they\'re open briefly on Saturdays. Tempted to glue a bloody spring to the door.

Thanks for the response. It\'s not the cable as you can open the fuel door as long as you have two people. I\'ve tried that but i think the plastic clip may be broken also. Which pick a part did you get your bits from?

[Fuel door wont open]

Having trouble opening the fuel door on my GF8 wagon. Today i visited winger who were confident they could help and we had no luck there, ended up costing me too much... I\'ve searched the net and got in touch with some wreckers but still nothing. I\'ve found some pictures of the parts that i need also but cant find then online. If anyone has had a similar issue or has some good advice pleas do share. Cheers.
