engine won't start after pushing it
so I was in a slide probably around 6-7k for 10 seconds and all of sudden I lose power and the car straightens out. it's sputtering and won't hold an idle and comes to a stop
I start cranking it and it fires, barely starting. I try a few more times, firing less every time to where it eventually doesn't fire at all. my mods include jdl uel perrin overpipe Tomei type 80 k&n air filter oft v2.0 stg2 uel 93 octane I will note that I ran e85 2 full tanks of 91 before. when I switched to e85, I noticed the infamous crickets. when when I switched back to pump gas, they were still there so im guessing maybe the fuel pump died out? |

Bad battery?
On my previous car I had a battery short out internally on a sharp autocross turn (unsure if I spun myself, or the battery causing a system shut-down caused it) and it behaved somewhat similarly, though in my case it wouldn't turn over on its own. C |

I've heard in some more extreme spins the ecu thinks it crashed and cuts fuel.
First thing id try would be to disconnect the battery for a bit, next if that didn't work maybe throw the stock tune back on. |

Sounds like a fueling issue to me. Does anyone know if our cars have an inertia switch that's supposed to activate during accidents?

From FA20 Engine Control - SFI SYSTEM - DETAILS :
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...9&d=1391829861 "(3) A fuel cut control is used to stop the fuel pump when any of the SRS airbags deploys. In this control, if an airbag deployment signal from the air bag ECU assembly is detected by the ECM, the ECM will turn off the circuit opening relay. As a result, the power supply to the fuel pump control ECU assembly is stopped, causing the fuel pump to stop operating. After the fuel cut control has been activated, turning the ignition switch from off to on (IG) cancels the fuel cut control, and the engine can be restarted."

so i got the car towed to my place (free from subarus awesome road side assistance that I didn't even know I had until the tow truck driver mentioned it) and I was feeling pretty down. get home an hour later (car died for 2 hrs at this point) and tow driver says something along the lines of try starting it, the ride may have wiggled the fuel pump. I start it and it fired right up! I couldn't believe it. exhaust smelled a little funny but otherwise no problems. ended up having a nice chit chat with the driver while getting a free ride home. |

From the time the car died on the track to getting towed home and successfully starting the car, how long would you say the total incident time was?
