rB supposedly tuned hard to start
Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2016 11:07 amHey guys,
So I recently bought an 05 3.0rB which has upgraded headers and exhaust from the previous owners and the owner before last got it tuned by someone of a Subaru form (not sure who or which forum). The upside is fuel economy is steady at around 10.6L/100km with some minor squirts every now and then BUT when starting I have to flick to on then back to off 3 times to get it to crank over properly. The guy I bought it off said it was due to the tune being so lean but after talking to my mate that's a diesel Mechanic and car enthusiast he said it shouldn't change the start up.
I'm possibly looking to retune properly down the track but that can get costly. So I was hoping maybe someone could shed some light on what's happening and what the possible cause could be whether it could be the starter motor, alternator, fuel pump/filter or even battery on its last legs.
Any help would be much appreciated
