Hey all. Long time since I have been on here.
Got an issue with my sisters 97 liberty ej22.
I will occasionally not start on for her. The car is 600kms away from me so I can not have a look at it my self.
It would turn over but will not fire, and no codes will not appear.
The local subaru dealer has had two attempts to fix it.
I'm leaning to wards a possible fuel pump issue.
So any one got any other clues to what it could be?
Cheers

My son's 96 Liberty sedan had similar issues, were the previous owner would start the car, drive to the shops, come back out and the car wouldn't start. Leave it 20mins or more and then try again, sometimes it would start and then other times it wouldn't. I swapped and changed just about everything from coil, ignitor, crank angle sensor. In the end it was the Cam Angle Sensor, so see if you know someone closeby that you can swap over the sensor and try.

On my son's car it didn't give any codes but try the ignitor

Having recently had a very similar issue with a 97 liberty (albeit with an EJ25) I learnt that these cars are incredibly sensitive to earthing dramas.
My car would intermittently fail to fire, especially on hot days. It would crank the batty flat, but just no fire. Leave it an hour or two and it would fire first turn of the key. Tried fixing it by changing fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel pressure regulator, Crank angle sensor, new battery, but symptoms persisted.
Then finally 'voila' I added an high quality engine to body earth (already had a battery earth) and it fixed my cars issues immediately. Fast forward three months later I've not had a repeat of the issue (touch wood).
Might be worth looking into to see if there is an engine earth to the chassis, and if so check what sort of condition it is in? If not, add one.
Good luck
