Good morning, fellow Outback owners. We recently purchased a new-to-us 2003 Outback 2.5 base auto. The car just passed 73k miles. Yesterday we took the around on a few errands and parked it for the day around 3pm. This morning, I hopped in the car, put the key in and quickly turned it to start the car...and nothin'
With the key still in the 'RUN' position, I turned it again to start, and again, nothing. The car was getting power just fine, but when the key was turned to start you could hear a very faint buzz, but not the starter. I turned the key back to fully off, turned it again to 'RUN' and let all the lights on the dash go out, and then started it...and it started right up.
So...I'm wondering if something is going on. Is it possible that the fuel pump wasn't primed when I just flipped the key to start so quickly? I dunno...just a guess.
Any help here or suggestions are appreciated!
