Ideas?
I just bought a new (to me) 2018 Forester 2.5i Premium (6 speed) with less than 50k miles from Carvana in May (which has been a disaster in and of itself). To date, the front rotors and brakes have been replaced, the tires (factory originals that had dry rotted)-replaced, the fuel pump assembly was going-replaced, and now a warm start issue. Specifically, when left sitting for at least an hour, it will crank and crank and crank but won’t turn over. Now, IF I press on the accelerator while cranking, it will turn over. The local Subaru dealership cleaned the (filthy) throttle body (and sensor) assuring me that that was the cause. It wasn’t. All of my research (and two other mechanics says it is a leaking fuel injector. The dealership tech swears that it is not a leaking fuel injector (without actually conducting a decay test, injector pull/bench test, checking the spark plugs). Has anyone else had a similar issue? Any ideas?
