Pulled engine and transmission on 2002 Forester.
Replaced bad transmission and did timing belt/waterpump/etc on motor.
Motor starts and dies,threw code for TPS,checked and set TPS and still doing it.


Any ideas? (we've gone over every vacuum line)
 
gone over all the electrical plugs?
 
Have you checked the voltages on the tps when closed and at WOT?
 
'starts and dies' -- is it a sudden shutdown (electrical), or a slow death (fuel, air) ?
 
OK had my son in law double check the timing on the belt. Looks like when he set the tensioner it moved moved over a tooth or so.
Looking like that's the issue,know for sure when he gets it back together tomorrow.

OK,got belt timing dead on now as far as I know. (talking son in law thru this over phone)
Runs a little longer but spits out the intake and dies still.
Give it gas and it bogs and spits hard and dies.
Not sure which way to go with this.
 
Well have changed every sensor on it. Fuel pressure checked. Compression check.
Checked everything there is to check. All good but still won't run.
I'm out of ideas and have no direction to go with it.
Think it's going to the junkyard.
 
Another thought - is it an auto?
What if the replaced transmission is somehow binding and stalling the engine?
 
Or bite the bullet and take it to a mechanic.

Had this thought because I've seen that happen with a bad torque converter. That vehicle would still start in neutral,this one won't.
