ThosL Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have been having erratic start ups with my Subaru after the freeze ups, snow or freezing rain at night. When I go to start up it is very erratic then gets better. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana tom Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 A good tune up never hurts. Is it cranking but not firing ? When its 10 below zero mine might start and die on the first try and then start and run rough for 30 seconds or so. Now my 94 2.2 with 300,000+ on it , takes a little longer ... might even need a jump... of course the battery is 7 years or more, old amazing it works at all below zero. Your in southern fairfield county it almost never gets near zero there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Year and model of your Subaru would be relevant information here. So would miles, condition, maintenance, and/or modifications history Edited December 21, 2016 by Numbchux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 most common would be dew/moisture causing misfires - it gets cooked-off after the engine warms up. less common might be Engine Temps sensor failing to 'choke' cold engine.

That's it, runs fine after warm-up. 97 Outback 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
