WR1 COLD START PROBLEM

Postby james6949 » Sun Sep 30, 2007 11:43 pm

Hi,

when I start my car from cold I have to turn the key for around 3/4 seconds while depressing the throttle for it to start (if I dont touch the trottle it takes longer!), is this normal?, does anyone have any suggestions as I have only owned the car for about 2 weeks. The car seems to drive normal in every other way, also it had a full service before I picked it up from the Subaru dealer.

Any help much appreciated!.

James :? :? :?

Return car to dealer. Something isn't right. Our car can be left for weeks and it starts the moment I turn the key.

When you take the car in, print out a picture of Bigman and leave it on the passenger seat and make sure they know your best mate is coming to visit you for a few days.
