Since we were so used to pumping the gas pedal for cold wheather starts, many, many times the Legacys would not start.
If they had ACs or Champions we had to change out the plugs.
If they were NGKs, the car would start.
Well I wasn't in the business yet, thank god.

And was it the plugs you were changing, or putting in a working coolant temp sensor in to make it start

I miss my 1994 legacy. I had a white one that was the L+ FWD with the blue interior. Picked it up in the early 2000's for a song and did a T-belt and reseal, purge solenoid (imagine that) and brakes all the way around and it was like brand new. If I could find a 1994 LSi texas/oklahoma/florida car in good shape i would buy it. My mother talked me into selling that one for almost nothing to a family friend for a first car, and at some point it lost a CV boot and he continued to drive it with a siezing CV axle until it broke and left him stranded (at least this is what it sounds like happened) He let the wrecker company keep it in exchange for forgiving the tow bill.

I was LIVID.
