I have a 1993 Impreza L, just ran over 200,000 miles! I am experiencing the hard to start problem a few others have been experiencing. It just keeps turning over, and turning over, but only when it is cold outside. If it is warm out, it fires up after 1-2 cranks. Also usually only overnight when it hasn't ran for about 10 hours. And with winter coming up fast. I need to fix this.

My question is for those who got a new ECT gauge, how can the coolant temperature sensor help during start-up, isn't the ECU not paying attention to sensors during start-up?

One other thing, those who did put in the new sensor, is it still working good?

Any reply would be appreciated

Thanks, Max

replace you coolent temp sensor and make sure you have 50/50 mix of coolant.also bleed all air from cooling system

 

This should cover it, I was also thinking along the lines of fuel?

Thanks
