How to start a Subaru in the morning?
In the morning before attempting to start the car turn the key to the RUN position for about 2 seconds. Do NOT operate the starter motor. Now turn the key off. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times and then operate the starter motor.
What happens to a Subaru when the temperature is low?
The engine apparently does not start and run on its own when the ambient temperature is low, but it does turn over. If you give the mechanic bogus information, he will go off on a wild goose chase that will result in much higher labor costs for you. Thanks for your help!
Why is my Subaru running rough in the Sun?
If pressure leaks off (leaking injector, fuel pressure regulator, or the more common fuel pump check valve) the engine will be slow to start and may run rough for a minute. Think of a garden hose in the sun on a hot day. When you turn the water on the hose may sputter for a while before air is purged out of the hose.
Why does my Subaru check engine light come on only once?
Only once did the check engine light come on, and that reported a possible problem with the throttle position sensor. Our Subaru dealer has looked into that and doesn’t feel it’s the culprit. He therefore is not pushing the $600+ replacement of that sensor.
Why do I have trouble starting my Subaru?
Do NOT operate the starter motor. Now turn the key off. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times and then operate the starter motor. If the engine starts right up and runs fine then the problem is likely the loss of residual fuel pressure and most of the time this is due to the check valve in the fuel pump. (This means pump replacement of course.)
Why does my Subaru Impreza stall when cold?
It starts just fine and idles smoothly when cold. It also drives good, great in fact when the engine is still cold – it accelerates smoothly and with plenty of power, but the second the temp gauge starts to move it begins idling rough, missing and loping and now it will even stall out and become very difficult to restart.
When you turn the water on the hose may sputter for a while before air is purged out of the hose. It’s the same principle with fuel injection lines. You might try this. In the morning before attempting to start the car turn the key to the RUN position for about 2 seconds.

Why does my Subaru Legacy Run low on AC?
The 2000 to 2004 Legacy and Outback suffer from leaks at the 2 Ac hoses one from the compressor to the condenser and one form the compressor to the Evap core. This causes the system to run low or empty.
