January 10, 201511 yr Hi guys, i am new here and i need your help. I have subaru libero 1994. When i am starting it on cold engine it starts normally, then i will drive it and turn it off. When I try to start it up on warm engine it wont start up. Please any help.
January 10, 201511 yr Is the check engine light on? If so I would try and pull the codes and see what is coming up. Also is this a multi port fuel injection? I'm not familiar with this model of Subaru so I can't be sure what kind of fuel system it has.
January 10, 201511 yr When its warm the engine turns over but it just won't start? That's usually due to a bad Engine coolant temperature sensor. The sensor fails and is telling the computer the engine is cold all the time so it gets too much fuel and floods the engine.

I'm not familiar with this model of Subaru so I can't be sure what kind of fuel system it has. Check engine light is not on, this model doesn't have computer to read the codes.
January 10, 201511 yr Check engine light is not on, this model doesn't have computer to read the codes. Do you know what kind of a fuel system you have? I know that some non usdm models of subaru still used a carb and disty in the 90's and would have a different setup for the fuel system monitor than multi port

I left my car in my official service, now i can't start up even it is cold or warm(I couldn't start it at all)

January 10, 201511 yr I think it is mono injection system Okay that sounds like throttle body injection. I'm assuming you have the 1.2l 3 cylinder?
January 10, 201511 yr Author Okay that sounds like throttle body injection. I'm assuming you have the 1.2l 3 cylinder? Yes. Petrol and LPG
January 10, 201511 yr Okay, I'm trying to find info on this particular engine. Very cool subaru I wish we could get these in the states.
January 10, 201511 yr Okay from the info I found the EF12 is the engine you should have in this car. The two fuel system options it came with is a 2 barrel Hitachi carb or a multipoint fuel injection system I found some pictures please tell me which one your engine looks like This one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Subaru_ef12_justy_engine.JPG/440px-Subaru_ef12_justy_engine.JPG Or this one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/EF12engine.JPG

January 10, 201511 yr Crazy, this Subaru is hard to find info on. Well I would start with the basics. First do you have spark?

January 10, 201511 yr Author Crazy, this Subaru is hard to find info on. Well I would start with the basics. First do you have spark? In service they suspected on the induction coil, they replace it with their induction coil and it give the same parameters. There is no power or spark.
January 10, 201511 yr Okay now were getting somewhere. A little more searching shows that both models have a cap and rotor, i would try changing those out and seeing what happens. Sometimes the cap or rotor can get a hairline crack causing loss of spark
January 10, 201511 yr Author I will change those parts and see what will happen. Thank you for your time
