My sub impreza 1995 wont start sometimes ive been told cold start valve?

It starts 1st pop every morning but by the time i get to the top of my drive the check engine light comes on an my fans click on, an by the time i get to work which is 5mins away theyve clicked off again. if i was to turn off then start again i'll have to hold key on winding it over with my foot flat to the floor and it will roughly crank over until clears itself, with a billow of black smoke out the back an then runs and idle sweet as, and drives fine, it has no real pattern to when its goin to do it, if i stop after a small drive, then when i go to leave it will almost everytime start rough. no-ones been able to sort it, iv done most obvious things like airflow meter an sensors, any ideas?

Have you had it hooked up to a scan tool ? check sensor data ! Your vehicle has no cold start valve . Black smoke out the back indicates a rich condition , holding gas pedal to the floor causes the engine computer to go into WOT mode shutting off the injectors . Suggest you do injector leak down test , leaking fuel injectors ! Ever replace fuel injectors ?

My 1995 subaru impreza wrx wont start from cold keeps cutting off and wont take any trottle till its warm but once warmed its grand till next morning again any ideas please and thanks

i own the same car, same problem. you'll need a new throttle body, your cold start isnt opening up. DO NOT get one from a junk yard. you'll spend 50 bucks to find out that one does the same thing.. it is a very common problem with subaru's, though very easy to fix and it is for sure a "diy" project all you need is a flathead screwdriver and a 10mm socket and a ratchet

I have a 1995 3.4L 5speed camaro. Last year i replaced the starter. Just for the past few months, when i go to start it, it clicks, but no start. Some times If i hold the key and pump the clutch, it would...

does it start fine cold and have problems starting after it's been running? gm's have the starter solenoid on the starter. if you have headers you will have problems overheating the solenoid and consequently have starting problems. as for the clutch, it has a switch on it so you can't inadvertantly start it in gear. if that switch is bad, it won't even click. you need a solenoid or starter. just cause it was new, doesn't mean it was good. see if your starter has a warranty and replace it. it should have a heat shield, see if it's there. if not, get one.

My 1995 Subaru Impreza sometimes has a problem starting because the choke sticks. How should I fix this?

It really is not a choke in the old sense. The temperature sensor by the throttle body butterfly measures the water temp and richens the fuel to start. If the sensor is bad it always says it is cold and enrichens the fuel thinking it is cold. Check the sensor and connection's. Hope this helps and have a great day.

My car shuts off in reverse

dear friend-i think what your car needs is conditioner to soften the seals and valve body,if this does not work you wil have to remove the valve body and clean.
