Update VI: 8/7/13 Picked up car from dealership. Engine harness replaced, battery replaced and third ECM replacement combined to make my BRZ drivable. No issues after 50 miles down the road. Five weeks plus another three weeks of waiting to find time to get the car ready for tow truck ride to dealer. :-p

Sewell Subaru played fair and kept me posted as to their repair efforts.

Update V: 8/4/13 Subaru Super tech called out an engine harness after two days of hands-on troubleshooting. Replaced harness and battery under warranty. As of 8/2/13 engine starting and running with second ECM.

Update IV: 7/22/13 second ECM did not fix problem. Got different set of failure codes. Subaru technical spoke with and a download sent for analysis. No definitive solution set. Subaru engineering said to T/S wiring harness. No faults found in wiring harness-wiring, pins, plugs. Dealer service called today for local Subaru engineering rep to hands-on troubleshoot My BRZ.


Update III: 7/11/13 Dealer ordering engine control module. The wait begins.


Tried to start car this morning and got erratic idle. Car not driveable. CEL et. al. Looks like Subaru will get to pay for a transport to the closest dealership in Dallas next week. Will post fun that is had.

Vin 04439x delivered nov 2012 1850 miles.

Service writer suggested Crawford AOL gets removed before having car transported to dealership.

New: Been taking engine compartment upgrades off the the car before heading to the dealer via transport truck.

Awaiting OEM crank pulley from FrankenStein (Thanks for the assist!!). I wanted to remove the Perrin pulley, but my OEM pulley has made a successful break for freedom. Remember no good deed goes unpunished.

OEM Pulley received from RacerDrew today (July 9th). Schedule for rest of week problematic. Maybe Friday I can get the car and me to the dealership.
