Troubleshooting help
Hey, I’ve been working on a 99 legacy outback for about a year and a half. Did a Manual swap from a 97 a year ago, replaced all of the seals and deep cleaned when I did the swap. I still got a semi minor leak from what I think is the little corners on the valve covers.
Recently I have been getting what I think is a connection issue with the starter. When i try and start it, it’ll pause for 1-2 seconds then normally start up. Or it won’t at all, which then I’ll unplug the battery and mess around till it wants to turn over.
Once it’s warm or even barely warm (I’ve started it 4-5 hrs after coming home) it’ll start up no issue but if it’s completely cold she is temperamental.
This all started 2 weeks ago when I did about a 6 hour drive to CO and back. My throttle cable came loose mid drive and I had to turn it off and figure that out.
I’ll add pictures and videos describing everything I’ve said. In the startup vid my key is turned the entire time. Thanks!
