I have a 1995 Subaru Outback that has a very intermittent starting problem.
The various times that it won't start have nothing in common. I have taken
it to the Subaru dealer many times and they "repaired" it each time. So far
the ignition switch, starter, and battery have been replaced, however the
dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem. When it doesn't start,
it doesn't click or show any sign that the engine is getting spark, the
headlights, radio etc. work fine with full power to them and eventually in
20 minutes to an hour it usually starts.
Anyone out there have any similar problems. The car runs well, but we don't
know when we will be stranded again in Albuquerque at 100 degrees for an
hour waiting for the car to decide that it is ready to start. |

yeah I was gonna suggest neutral safety switch too. next time it
happens, jiggle the shifter (if automatic - dunno if '95s had a clutch
safety switch)
I wouldn't rule out intermittent crank angle sensor - seems some soobs
have had a problem with those. Is the CEL on?

There is a retrofit campaign for your exact no start problem. Kit
#22090-AA000 gets you both the crank and cam sensors for less than either
one separately. >> Stay informed about: 1995 Subaru |

My bad. I misread the symptoms. The campaign is for a crank-no-start
condition.
In your case, check the connections under the steering column by unplugging
them and looking for a heat damaged connection. There's one in particular
that is where a security module would, or does, plug in that can cause an
intermittent no-start like you're experiencing. >> Stay informed about: 1995 Subaru |

Had a similar problem on a Toyota; turned out to be a long forgotten
security system. Look for non-factory-looking wiring up under the
dash, or in the console area.
