97 legacy gtb twinturbo. engine died within 1km dead!

Today my 97 legacy gtb just cut out, sounded like not getting enough fuel. when i pushed the accelerator down it just lurched and jumped eventually i had to stop had zero power. Fuel was half way between empty and quarter tank. Never had this problem before. Engine was running but so lumpy and struggled. Only 73,000km odometer!

Problem is im in Japan and my Nihongo is not that good. Just cost me 16000yen for a 5km tow arghhh hurt pain!!

Have you put the OBD scanner on it to find the problem. That would be a good place to start. the computer should have stored a code with the problem.

Why does my 97 jeep Cherokee after starting cuts off while I'm driving n if I'm stopped n it stalls it takes awhile before I'm able to start again
I would do a fuel pressure test first. Attach the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel fail and see if the engine has enough pressure when it dies. If it does then you will need a scanner to see which sensors are causing the problem.

Why does my 98 subaru legacy sputter and die?
Clean your MAF sensor and throttle body. If it's dirty it will send wrong voltage to ECU, running either too lean or too rich, most likely too rich and flooded the fuel injectors.

Car starts and dies straight away
sounds like the immobiliser is dead. 1996 immobiliser in south africa qould leave the car dead but 97 onwards cuts out the fuel supply so car starts and dies. it might be fuel relay but i doubt it. try throqing fuel into the intake manually. if it stays on for longer its prob not immobiliser.

Loss of boost and engine check light on
Please have the computer scanned for codes. Autozone or Pepboys will do it task for free. It sounds like it could be related to your fuel sustem or exhaust. But I need more info to be more spesific. Good luck.

Fuel problem
When you turn your ignition key to the on position, you should hear the fuel **** make a whrring sound . it means that your fuel pump is good. if not , the fuel **** is bad. Even if you took off the fuel pump and powered it directly. That does not mean it is good evev if it turns a bit. It has to have enough pressure.replace the fuel pump. You should have no problems after that.
