O/T 1.8L Impreza BUT simlar to SVX engine
I got a problem with my Impreza. Sometimes it won’t start.
I was looking at the trouble chart for the SVX that I think is very helpful. I think it’s the fuel injectors. I think that the injector stays open sometimes and after the car sits for about an hour and a half, too much gas has leaked into the cylinder. When it does start it runs very rich and bucks until the gas clears out. Do the fuel injectors make sense? The car runs great all the rest of the time. No CEL codes or anything. I think it is not the ECU power supply or the fuel pump or pressure regulator, or ignitor or coil or plugs because I think when these items break they stay broken and don’t start working again. Does anybody know if it could be one of these items?

My Legacy turbo had the problem over a month period sometime it would start sometimes would only crank. strange if I left it over night it would pop right off after 6 engine turns ( so it seemed) If I went more than 6 sec. it would not start turned out to be a weak fulel pump. Dealer said just cause it pumps gas does not mean it will produce the 125 lb the injectors require. $285.00 and it never failed again.

Well I started to disconnect the fuel pump to kill the engine and thought I was on to something, fuel injectors. Then I hooked a pressure gauge and even after the pressure dropped to 13 psi a half hour later on hot engine, it still started.
Then the check engine light started to come on. It was thowing a code 21, temperature sensor. It took the ECU an awful long time to start showing the trouble. Replaced the sensor for about $21 dollars and all is well. Unfortuniately, I replace the starter and alternator before that. I was relieing on other peoples discription of the problem and got in a rush to fix it. Oh well it runs great now.
