help with subaru 2000 blitzen

[jackdaroo]

hi i have just got a 2000 blitzen model legacy it was in parts and had been striped down to the carpet . i have now finished putting it back together and it will not start . all the lights on dash come on and but no go there is some clicking coming from under the hood and when the self diagnostic is working the engine check light just keeps on flashing and dose not show up a code can any one please help

It didnt have an aftermarket alarm did it? That can mess with things. Also is it auto or manual? H6 or H4?

[jackdaroo]

hay its a manual and how do you mean h6 h4 and no it dose not have alarm

[Dead91silvia]

6 cylinder or a 4 cylinder

And what I mean by alarm is, it might have had one and some how it's kill switch kicked in. Look under the dash to see if there is an alarm brain.

I bet the green diagnostic connectors are plugged together under the steering wheel. Find a pair of green connectors, and make sure that they are disconnected.

The black ones next to it should be disconnected as well, but won't actually cause problems.

If its a manual, it's an H4.

If the car is JDM, the system might be different...

Is this car OBDI or OBDII?

[jackdaroo]

no connector not hooked up ether of them and its manual 4cylinder twin turbo . how do you mean alarm brain not sure what am looking ?? if there is do you think that is what it is ?? will take some photos for you guys to look at

[Dead91silvia]

Well, sometimes when I'm working on cars that wont start, it sometimes is the immobilizer from an aftermarket alarm that no one knows about.

Look under the dash to see if there are any wires that dont look normal. Like zip ties that are out of place, butt connectors, scotch locks, extra leads. All of those are not normal for our cars.

Beyond that, then your getting into mechanical/electrical that is the car. If this is the case it could be a few things...

-clutch switch at the pedal
-bad starter relay
-blown main fuse
-missing ground

Could be a number of things...

[jackdaroo]

thanks for the help dont think got alarm nothing to out of place do you know where i could find a haynes or work shop manual for this as think its a ground wire or some thing

[jackdaroo]

dose any one have any photos of the fuel line set up under the hood

[pleaidestar]

maybe you have a bad starter...if the solenoid clicks and doesnt engage it could be that or one of the two other relays that click when you start your vehicle...and dead91 is completely right...there is alot going on in our cars when we turn the key.

[rkrenicki]

haynes? Where is this car? I do not think they have haynes manuals in Japan..

[Dead91silvia]

I think he's in Aussie land...

[jackdaroo]

lil lower guy im in new zealand and yea got them here wanting to know if there any that i can download

[jackdaroo]

and really kinda need some photos of the fuel line set under the hood if any one got one thay can take some photos and post them

[jackdaroo]

and really kinda need some photos of the fuel line set under the hood if any one got one thay can take some photos and post them

Can be a lot of things, powerline to the starter(thick one that runs from the battery) starter relay (try tapping it with a rubber mallet while turning the key)
immobilizer, fuses and other relays.

[jackdaroo]

got it to turn over now but still no start there sound like it wants to but think fuel line are not hooked up right ????

[Legacy89]

Fuel? would be pretty hard to install the fuel lines wrong i think.
Is the fuelpump running? and is there any/enough gas in the tank?

[jackdaroo]

yea there gas in the car lol and have just installed a new full pump

[Dead91silvia]

Have you made sure the fuel pump is running or has pressure?

[pleaidestar]

your fuel pump should prime itself...thats what the fuel pump relay does it opens up then clicks off when when the key is turned all the way to start, then your ignition relay opens and closes just like the fuel pump relay at the same time there is a purge solenoid that tells the fuel lressure regulator to send the maximum amount of fuel required for start up..you can test that too with some test leads. It might be hard to test that though with the limited access you have in that area

[jackdaroo]

i have sort of tryed to test it but not to sort i have used the test mode set up to check it but dose not show any codes do you know how i would test it by hand

[jackdaroo]

there gas getting there and in the lines but yea dont know

[pleaidestar]

I think you can do it with test leads, there are some that have alligator Clips, go from the battery and determine witch pin is positive and negative. Touch them and if it clicks then it should be good, if not touch each pin in reverse. Either way a relay will open when power is applied.


I'm not sure if you can test those with a multi-meter, I have no idea how to use one other than testing open circuits.

[pleaidestar]

But I'm not sure if your emission system is the same as the ones we have in the states.

[jackdaroo]

hay my car is a blitzen i just want to know if any one knows the paint number or ral number for the subaru legacy red 2000 really need the ral number if any one knows it

[pleaidestar]

Your paint code is on you vin. Plate under your hood, it will say color code and will probably be a 3 digit number.

[jackdaroo]

yea got that number but need the RAL number so can get some paint made up as dear as
