Help. My T5-R wagon would not start last night. Battery is is good condition and it turns over. Dont know if there is fuel getting to the engine? Could a sudden weather chage affect this? I changed oil and filter about 1000k miles ago. Hate to drop a bill at the dealer.

Thanks-

On my 850 there is this one wire conenctor near the engine that seems to be vibrated loose and it makes the engine just turn over w/o spark. If you look on the drivers side of the engine at the valve covers, on one side there will be wires coming out from a sensor. Trace the wire from the cover to its conenctor into the main harness. Unplug it... clean the connector, and move it around a bit, then try to start the engine. Worked for me :)

I replaced about 300 bucks of stuff before I found that little conenctor. I will probably go in and replace the sensor sometime and get a new connector soldered in to stop the problem.
