Default HELP!!!!!! Scooby Won't Start
Hi, My Impreza 1994 WRX Import as above wont start it goes to but nothing, went for a drive in it all was fine then accelerated and then some knob pulled out in front so slammed on the brakes, went off felt very sluggish then stopped at a roundabout then went to go went 5 feet then cut out.

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks

255 pump wouldn't make any odds as pressure regulator will regulate it at correct pressure.
