I tried searching for this, but had trouble getting any results. The car is a 99 L, 250,000 KM's.
I have an 07 forester and 04 Legacy as potential parts doners for testing purposes.
Short story:
My car starts, but then dies shortly after. Check engine light is on. If I hold the throttle slightly, the car will stay on, but if I pull the gas it dies right away. It also won't really rev up past 3500 or so.
Long Story:
My car sat for a while. When I went to get it going the alternator was dead. The clutch needed doing so I had the clutch done and a used alternator put in. I then drove the car 500 km's or so, after which it sat for another week.
My friend went to start it and it died immediately.
I know I should get the codes run, but is there anything obvious here?
Thanks for the help guys.
