-2002 b4 fails to start .

[oldsandy]

Not often ,but occasionally engine fails to start,I then turn key off then back on , can be up to three times.before starting. ???

Fails to crank at all? Or cranks and fails to start?

[Deep Heat]

I'm going to take a guess and say its the fuel pump.

[Robbks]

do you wait for the fuel pump to prime fully before turning the key?
does it use lots of fuel (more than usual)?
does it blow fuel smoke on startup or when cold?
does it idle rough?

I'm going to take a guess and say its the fuel pump.

you sound like a mechanic at a Subaru Dealership
just keep throwing parts at it until it works again.
instead of getting all the symptoms and asking appropriate questions

So maybe you need to check your spark plugs?

[PinkK]

Do you have spark through the leads?
Does it sound like its sparking but just not able to kick over?
From what you have said, others have mentioned it, but check your plugs, check your leads, and I imagine the libs have coil packs so check them. If they are ok check fuel pump.
