Suspect a defective temperature sensor-- the one that talks to the car computer. It is not telling the computer it is cold outside, and not enough fuel is added to allow startup when cold. Suggest replace the temp sensor.
An ignition module problem could be the cause of your 89 Geo Spectrum not starting and not getting any fire. It could also be the pickup coil causing the problem.
You could have a problem will the battery or something with the ignition. Try leaving the vehicle off for a bit and trying again later.
I just had this problem with my son's 1996 Miata this past weekend. After checking the battery to make sure it had a full charge I tried to start it again. Finally, in frustration, I jammed the clutch pedal nearly to the floor, and the engine turned over. All this time I hadn't pushed to clutch pedal in enough to let the car start. This could be your problem too. It's a start, anyway.
I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT (Wagon) and haven't been able to find a hitch. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? If I am able to find a hitch, I would then try to get the Outback trailer hitch wiring harness from my Subaru dealer. I would expect the wiring in the two cars to be the same, but I suppose they could be different. I noticed the Legacy wagons don't have the rear 12 volt jack that the Outbacks have. This is something I'd like to add too for one of those electric coolers. That would be nifty I think. Thanks . . .
It could.It could.
Could be a main engine relay problem.
Yes.
The Subaru Impreza does not have a fuel pump inertia switch. If you are having fuel issues it could be the fuel pump relay or fuel pump.
A noisy fuel pump in a 1995 Subaru Impreza could be a sign of oncoming failure. Check the pump for the source of the noise, and it is probably a good idea to replace it.
typically $250 - $300. just paid $260 to do my '02 impreza RS.
it could be one of the sensors crank shaft or cam shaft
It depends on what is wrong with it, a minor problem could run as little as 100 dollars while a transmission replacement will run a good 2500-3000 dollars.
Generally speaking, a rebuilt transmission for a 1997 Subaru Impreza will cost between $2,000 and $5,000. It could be more or less, it depends on the parts put in and the worker labor charges.
I had the same problem in my 1995, i took it to the dealer and they fixed it. I think it was a very simple fix, but it was many years ago.
check your fuses The starter
A plugged transmission filter can cause your transmission to hesitate when you shift into drive. A collapsed vacuum hose can also cause the problem.
try changing the spark plugs you will get loads of highley technical answers on here but its normally the simple solution that works i had the very same problem on my impreza and all it needed was a new set of plugs..
