LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 i've pulled a few newer model Foresters into the garage lately and i've noticed that the engine starts and shuts off pretty violently. has anyone else noticed this or fixed it in their own? Also, does this happen in all newer models (99-05)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 what do you mean violently? the shaking and shimmering caused by start up/shut off? if so.. normal as can be. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie yeah, if i remember correctly, mostly on the shut-off. as the engine winds down the whole car shakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 sounds about right to me. even with stiffer motor mounts... engine shakes pretty violently side to side done this on all my Subaru's except the 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 my 96 Leg LS is smooth on start and shut-off......just not a stoplights.....damn rogue misfire of sorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSoob Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Mine does nothing.. just turns off. Sometimes when it hasn't been running in a long time you can feel it turn over but I wouldn't call it violent. I dunno if it makes a difference if it is a stick or automatic. The 5 spd is pretty smooth... Heck, I would say that my 93 Legacy auto. was more "violent" than the forester is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soobadooba Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Nope. No more than any other car I/we have owned Sube or non-Sube. Quite smooth actually. -Louis- '04 Forester XT 5spd '91 Loyale 4wd 5spd Wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortlid Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 The new model Foresters are made at SIA right where as the earlier models were made in Japan?? Are the Forester still on the Impreza platform? Joel Nope.

DerFahrer Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Anything in the Impreza line (all year Foresters included) are made in Japan. Anything in the Legacy line (Outbacks and Baja's too) are made at SIA.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
