| ej 25 won't start 
 
 have a 2002 ej 25 in my syncro has been running with no problems for 6 years ,parked it the other night and put the battery charger on it,now it
won't start ,fires when i turn the key and just dies,fuel pump cycles when i turn the key,thinking it may be the immobilizer,as it does the same
thing with or without the subi key in place any tests or thoughts would be much appreciated,have tried bypassing the fuel pump relay and running the
fuel pump non stop but still didn't start

 12 starter switch - it is not seeing the signal that tells it you are trying to start the engine
 
 25 don't see a code for 25
 
 53 immobilizer system
 
 I would start with the ignition switch, they lose the ignition signal while you are in the start position. The engine may start if there is enough
revs after coming off the start position but they don't see the start signal to set up the ECU.
 
 I forgot the start signal on an install, it would start but ran like crap.

 The ECU stores historical  codes, to clear you need to disconnect the battery for a while or use both the test plugs to clear the codes.

 yes i cleared the codes and still had 12 after i ran it, cleared it again and now have no codes with the black plugs just a regular pulse and no
engine light when running ,but won't start without a bit of throttle and struggles to idle,don't think the ignition switch had much to do with it
seems to be the same with either switch
