Impreza gc8 not starting

[rota dave]

Hi all, have the mis-fortune of swapping my wrx for another one, which now has issues.....

Have just installed silicone hose under manifold, car starts fine when cold, but when it warms up it starts over-fueling and eventually stops (floods itself). At the same time I also installed a 3" Siamese down-pipe.

I'm a newer hand at subbies, have double checked everything I've touched, and can't think wtf, also this car ooops, it's a 1998 type R coupe with a piggy-backed ecu (Megasquirt), and the check engine light has been removed, as this was on all the time (previous owner). So I am unsure if I can re-enable the check-engine light to read codes.

Hope someone can make some sense of all this.

Pretty much at my whits end, any suggestions greatly appreciated. (No-body say match, tnt, etc)

I would start with getting it to someone who can check the tune.

Did the issues start after you worked on it? If so something must have been altered or damaged. Try and retrace your steps.....again. Failing that I would take it in to a reliable mech to read any possible fault codes. I don't think just removing the engine check light will stop you reading the codes. Good luck with it.

Nice, thanks for the update. Was the engine fan coming on randomly when the engine was cold?
