mattpa Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I have a 96 legacy outback - Automatic. for the last year or so i've been having random starting problems. It only occurs in warmer weather. it always starts up for the first time without issue, but if i drive for some distance and try to restart, it's dead. no clicking, no trying to turn over. nothing! this also happens over short distances when a lot of restarts are required. this problem rarely happens in the winter. I have had the battery replaced and the starter rebuilt. neither has resolved the issue. any ideas??? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniberp Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Well, it seem heat related, and I would suspect the starter (solenoid part), because the resistance in the windings goes 'way up with heat, and it won't give enough field to pull the primary contacts closed. So I say starter. I have a 96 legacy outback - Automatic. for the last year or so i've been having random starting problems.
