Hi all new to club had subarus for a few years. I've got a v2 import now and got a problem if anyone could help I've just fitted 440 injectors, parallel fuel lines and fpr got the car back together went to start it had a loud clunk noise now nothing car won't turn over. any suggestions would be great
Could the injectors cause it? There the only things that were second hand so couldn't be 100% sure they were fine before hand but couldn't understand how they would cause it
Didn't remover or touch starter has been fine until I changed injectors it's a hard noise to describe it wasn't the normal clicking noise it made a sort of clunk/pop noise engine didn't turn over it didn't try to continue turning over just got nothing from it really confused
Sounds electrical to me. If you can turn the engine over by hand without issue then unlikely to be a mechanical problem. If the starter motor refuses to even try and turn the engine then there's an electrical problem somewhere. You sure the battery is charged? If you got a multimeter see what the volts drop to when cranking the engine.
Otherwise I'd be looking at relay/fuse/sensor fault or disconnected.

Had same issue just now after fitting parellel fuel lines, high flow rails etc. I had the rails made to fit phase 1 manifold but accept phase 2 injectors so no adaptirs needed. First the rails weren't made right and pissed loads of fuel thru into my oil and exhaust. They were returned and sent back to me and put injectors back in and all was good and it ran fine....until I started it next day and ran really lumpy. I tried the next day and it didn't turn over just locked up. It did turn slightly by hand but as mentioned, I took out plugs and cranked by hand and fuel came out the front drivers side plug hole. I then took the rails out (with parellel lines this is easier) complete with injectors and fuel lines attached and got misses to turn to ignition. Fuel pissed out of the lower seal on front drivers side. If all is well when the fuel pump primes the system on ignition(car not running)the injectors should be closed and hold the fuel back. When I took the front drivers injector out I'd managed to squish the new lower seal!! Refitted with new lower seal and smeared a bit of Vaseline round the seals and it popped in nice and easy and problem solved. I did replace the oil just to be sure.

Reason: To correct info

I got the fuel lines out injectors out to find one rubber seal had been squashed and was dripping so fitting new one put all back together and car is now running fine it idels better then before think I'll just wash it and leave it alone till Wednesday when I got for my map thanks for the help everyone
