August 31, 200520 yr I am new here and I have question about my 1992 legacy 2.0 4×4 (european market ). Every time when i want to start my legacy at morning (cold start), car start without a problem but after a few seconds die? - but if I step a little on throtle is fine. The same problem I had on may old legacy 2.0 GL 2WD. There is no Check engine light signal. Thank you for your answer
August 31, 200520 yr Does the car sputter at all, or does it just instantly die? It might be the coolant temp sensor. Have you done any other troubleshooting/diagnostic to make sure you have fuel, spark, etc?
September 2, 200520 yr Author When I start the engine rpm goes on 1300 rpm and the usualy back to zero and motor dies. If I touch throtlle for second and leave then car works OK. The fuel is OK, sparks are new. Only trouble code 35 I get 1 month ago and I replaced Canister purge solenoid... But the problem is still there.
September 2, 200520 yr As Josh mentioned, a weak coolant temperature sensor can cause some weird idle/stall problems--replacing mine made a great difference. How about PCV? Idle Air Control Valve? Throttle cable? Fuel filter? Air filter? Wish I could be of more help. Good luck.
September 3, 200520 yr Author Thank you for your help. So now I must find a coolant temperature sensor and I will try if will help. Have a nice day
