Post by dexterallex » Thu Jan 28, 2010 8:10 am

i have a subaru 1998 sti and it stopped suddenly giving a tik tik noise.. i think its because of the timer. i have my immobilizer and the turbo timer in a black box. when i try to start it just try to start like a vehicle with out petrol. But the tank is full. No idea about the situation and seeking your help to correct this problem. :confused:

You sometimes wonder if these black box ignition kills prevent the owner from rightful use before a thief....

Do you or did you ever hear fuel pump prime up then stop after a few seconds when you turn ignition on?

If the car is fitted with the Brandt system them my guess is it was the anti hijacking feature. Did you start the car then jump out for a few secs then jump back in?
