Why does my Subaru Forester not start in the winter?
In the winter, the vehicle won’t start when itSubaru Forester is cold. There are a few different reasons that can cause this, but it’s usually your Forester’s battery that can’t handle turning the engine when it’s cold.
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 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.)
