Why won’t my car start?
1990 Subaru Legacy
We are in Whitehorse, YT – fairly cold these days. We have to plug in the block heater for it to start (even at only -5 celsius). As well, once it starts, we need to hold the accelerator to keep the engine from stalling.
Last time it worked, it was very cold and difficult to start the car. When it did (while giving it gas) the rpm jumped up and then just crashed without having let off the accelerator (not normal).
Now, the starter will struggle through a couple of revs, and then start clicking. When the headlights are on, they dim while trying to start. I’ve tried starting while jumpered to another (running) vehicle – no luck. After trying a few times, the starter won’t even rev at all – or click. The car just beeps at me.
Help?
I feel for you and it’s not -40 yet. Your battery might have kicked the bucket, fuel system clogged or low on power, oil the wrong grade or the car is just pooched (eh) I can’t help much more. Start with changing the battery and cleaning all connectors.
