HI. ive owned my uk 2.0T 95 impreza for just over a year now. i totally love it but about one month in it started having intermitant hot starting problems, always starts from cold, but when you come back to the car within 5min to 1 hour an try to start the engine it allways cranks over but sometimes doesnt start, then you end up waiting and trying it again an again until it starts. you here the fuel pump prime, ive replaced the engine temp sensor, crankshaft sensor and even had the amobiliser checked but it still failing on me. is there anyone that can help????

regards dave. :5:

Thank you for all your replies!
took my car to the subaru garage to get it checked out, turns out its the cam shaft sensor breaking up when hot :roll:
subaru charge £35 to diagnose a fault.
a new camshaft sensor £110 :shock: o well...

thanks again. dave
