Hey Sam

It could be one of many things.  Installing any part without a diagnoses performed by someone who knows Subaru is a gamble.  Is the WRX STI  stock or modified? If it is modified start with checking the MODS.  If not it may be the "N"(neutral) switch is worn and not sending the proper signal to the ECM (Engine Control Module)  but it could also be many other things as well.
