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.)
