sorry my bad, it was a complete 2002 STI insurance write off and going into a newage 2001 WRX complete car just missing engine and box.

i have put the engine and box in the wrx and changed the ecu and the chip in the key and the receiver around the ignition barrel. i first started to get a solid key light on the clock so new it had recognised something then i ended up changing the alarm box and every other box from the sti from behind the dash to the wrx.

SHe turns over all day long but wont fire, i have fuel getting to the engine and i have a spark the only thing that looks suspect is that when you take the key out of the ignition the key light flashes now and again
