*HELP*
I have a Subaru Forester 2010, standard. Since a couple of weeks, it had problems starting. I tried a couple of things but nothing worked.
The symptoms:
Every morning, the car can take a good 15 second cranking to start or not start at all. Usually during the day, it starts fine, with the exception of a couple of times here and there.
When I plug my jump starter on the car, it starts right away, even in the morning BUT it's really weird, as the jump starter doesn't use any of it's charge. Only the fact that the jump starter is plugged make the car start like a charm, but the battery of the car is not flat, and I would say full, since the jumper starter is always full of charge after use. What can cause the jumper starter to make a difference while not using it's charge? I just think if I figure that out, I can find the overall problem.
What I tried to do:
First, I changed the old battery for a new one, I cleaned the battery wires and the grounds from corrosion, and I added a new ground. Then, I changed the spark plugs, the coil and the wires are new.
I've also changed the crankshaft position sensor as one morning that the car didn't start, the check engine light when on afterwards with a code for a faulty crankshaft.
I ve removed the battery from the key knob, as maybe it was sending a faulty message to the car immobilizer. I didn't knew what to try at that point.
What I didn't do:
Change the fuel pump but it seems to work just fine. Starter seems fine since it's cranking no problem. Maybe a ECM problem?
Thank you, I don't know what to do anymore.
