anyone else have or had hard start issues?

any remedies or fixes to them?

Fuel Pressure regulator is attached to the end of the passenger side fuel rail, right next to the turbo. I would definitely do a fuel pressure check, but if you are changing the pump it would only really be checking the FPR. Our emissions systems were relatively simple, so I highly doubt that one o...

going to do a walbro fuel pump this weekend... I didnt see a fuel press reg anywhere, so i doubt that could be the issue. and sort of vacuum/emissions valve that could cause my hard start issue?

josh? any ideas?

hmmm.... ill give it a shot. at this point its starting to get annoying but i dont want to just start throwing parts at it.

anyone??

K guys, swapped the coolant temp sensor and cleared the computer.... Car still is hard to start and sort of sputters when it finally starts up, then clears up. Once at normal operating temp it he hard starts aren't so bad.

Any ideas? Check fuel pressure ? Any valves or other sensors to check?

here is one of the threads.....

when I tried the actuator back and forth it seemed as if something was going to break. it make a cracking sound so I stopped before I broke it. it doesn't seem like its supposed to move free.

also, forgot to mention I DO NOT hear any solenoids clicking as mention in some threads. Also I can hear the solenoid under the dash clicking when I turn on the a/c and turn it off so im pretty sure that that's ok.

In the midst of trying to resolve a hard start issue my A/C started cutting off as in no blower function or air flowing from any vents...... So I hooked up mu gauges and checked my pressures, swapped around relays that control the a/c functions in the relay/fuse box and also inspected any loose or b...

You can d/l the service manual from me, It'll have the info on the cts. Check out the stuff you need to know forum for a link to my server. I will say however that checking the resistance sometimes shows it's ok, but it's still bad. They are around $20 from one of the online dealers, so I usually j...

I have that problem right now. Low compression and poor off boost power. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 hmmmm... well essentially less compression = you can run more boost, however its how quick we can get it to make boost will be the main issue. may be a re ground set of cams in these ej20...

Looks clean, I like it

I did

Coolant temp sensor. I'd suggest replacing it, as it affects a lot of temperature related ECU functions, especially starting. hey Josh, yeah from what I have read the coolant temp sensor seems to give the ECU quite a hard time when its bad Can I check the ohms and see what the resistance is to tell...

Soooo... Iv had this car going on 2 weeks now. recently developed a hard start issue. I checked plugs, pulled injectors, I can hear the fuel pump come on, changed the fuel filter, all the sensors look fairly new. The engine spins over fast but just takes a noticeably longer time to start, then the ...

The compression will drop because the heads have larger chamber. If you machine the heads more than the Subaru recommended maximum, you will adversely effect the cam timing because the cam sprockets will now be closer to the crank pulley, but the timing belt is the same length. The only proper way ...

I guess its inevitable... im going to have to cut or drill at some point

So anyone have any recommendations where to install a boost gauge and keep a semi factory look? any other time I would mount a new pillar, or cut whatever while still keeping it looking good of course..... this 91 SS has a 90 out of 100 interior and id like to keep it near stock looking as possible....

The gentleman that I bought the car from they would need to be machined for compression reasons. I thought less compression = more boost you can run???? Could he have possibly said that in case there might be a vent valve? That could be the compression issue the gentleman was speaking of. I have no...

ok, Deff some sort of quality control measure, it states "void if removed" obviously for warranty proposes

wtdash,

Im gonna pop out in the garage right quick and have a look at that. I noticed it but didn't take a close look.....

Ok, so I guess that's good? lol I guess it should be a straight forward swap then? Well I guess he thought they were Australian..... So at this point I can just re read the head swap thread again.

I wouldn't be so luck lol You're kidding, right? :-) Idk Do they not have cam sets for these? im guessing no? lol Im a new school STi guy. I stumble upon this car locally and thought it would be cool to do a complete restoration..... I have virtually no ej22 experience and I am reading and reading ...
