Why does my Subaru Legacy not turn on?
This just means that the engine doesn’t move when you turn the key. The second way that your Legacy won’t start is when the engine turns when you engage the starter, but it won’t fire and run on its own. When the engine isn’t turning over at all, that’s a bit easier to diagnose than when it is cranking but not firing.

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 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.)
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.
Can a Subaru Forester not start in the winter?
I have a 2004 Subaru Forester that, for the past 3 years (bought it used; so may have done it with previous owner too, but I don’t know), will ~2x per winter, not want to start. Similar symptoms to yours – endless cranking, but will not catch/fire. However, the difference is that I can’t get it to go after a few minutes.
