First Mods?

Tip for rear diff fluid, remove the fill plug "before" you remove the drain plug. I learned that the hard way.

 

I changed out all the fluids you mentioned. Unfortunately after my shift at work I went to go start her up and she wouldn't turn over. Sent it into my mechanic who thinks the timing belt either broke completely or skipped a tooth. Is this a death sentence for my legacy?

"wouldn't turn over" meaning engine does nothing (other than maybe click) when attempting to start or engine rotates, but does not fire/start?

I have a video, link below

That engine is turning over, just not fast enough the fire up.

 

Check battery voltage or jump the battery.

 

Are the battery terminals clean and tight ?

 

 

 

I will say, my first thought after the video was, is that timing off ?

 

You can pull the timing belt covers and check the belt.

 

here's the service manual,

We'll talk about Cobb AP V3 later...hopefully.

for the sake of you, take care of the DTC code before you start any mod.

 

get everything 100% to function on the engine,drive train,and fuel on your oem state, then you can mod... EJ25 is a great platform specially when dialed in right...

 

also continue reading what this is all about in this forum. enablers are on always on the stand by to give their insights on the mechanics of things. find out what it is to maintain and drive an EJ25.

 

of course welcome and good luck....
