SVX lets me down.
 

Well, I knew it was going to happen. this dream car of mine FINALLY let me down. its 12 below, and she won't start.

Which is strange, because yesterday I started her cold in 32 below!! she didn't want to, but she did. I didn't have to try more then once either.

The battery has lots of juice. she cranks juuuust fine. but no ignition. every 5 seconds or so, the engine kicks like its gonna start, but nadda. I'm thinking fuel line frozen or something. Your thoughts? I dropped gas into the carb on an old honda civic once that had this happen... started her up wonderfully....where would I be droppin gas into this beast anyways? :D

That sounds all too familiar. I'll put money on a bad coolant sensor. Here's another thread about it:

Follow the link in Earthworm's post, and see if you get an Error Code 21, which would be the sensor. If you get a different code, you can check the other codes in How-To locker. The local Subaru dealer charged me about $70-$75 to replace the sensor.

says I have an inoperative o2 sensor. this wouldn't stop ignition would it?

Honestly, I have no idea, I'm a sucky mechanic. But do a search on O2 sensor, and I'm sure you'll come up with some ideas.

I've looked at past posts, and haven't found anything that says the o2 sensor can prevent ignition. I dumped dry gas into the tank, and it still won't start. Begining to get frustrated and worried. any other ides anyone?
