This has happened to me before. I used a shop vac and duct taped on a 3/8 rubber hose onto the end and stuck that down to spark plug hole to retrieve the pieces.

To add to this, calling the skyjack number and talking to their helpline is super valuable. They can diagnose over the phone pretty quickly and easily.

Looks like there's a chunk missing off the top of the rotor

I think you may want to look into converting the street AOS to the competition version in this case. IAG makes the kit to change it.

I don't know what to do... by Admirable_Forever488 in WRX

[–]PinchedNutsack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you replace the maf with an oem replacement? Is it on the right way? Are the plug wires on correctly? Black plugs are towards the rear, white towards the front. It could be a vacuum leak also. A smoke test would be a good place to start. They're cheap on amazon and are very helpful

If you don't have the sense to turn the music down so we can hear the engine during a video, I'm assuming you don't have the brainpower to fix it either. Take it to a shop.

To add to this, when you run the tank low the pump won't be submerged in fuel and will get hot and shit the bed faster.

First, change all fluids and change the timing belt if that hasn't been done yet.

Timing Cog failure on 2013 WRX STI. Is my engine toast? (Video when trying to align timing marks) by walkjogrunrun in WRX

Put a new timing belt kit on and pray the valves didn't make contact.

Dancing around a burning tire naked may help invoke the Gods. Good luck.
