2000 subaru outback, problem with starter

My Subaru starts usually, but it takes a while to get the engine to turnover. Usually I have to turn the key quite a few times and it acts as though the battery is dead. But the battery is fine, I just got a new one. I'm almost positive it's a problem with the starter and would like to know if I can order one and put it in myself to save money. I am not very knowledgeable about cars.

SOURCE: 2000 Subaru Outback transmission problem

After a good deal of research and several shops suggesting a rebuild of the transmission, I decided to have the trans fluid and filters changed before doing anything. It was a tough call because it could have been a waste of $125. As soon as the spin off filter was removed you could see it was blocked. So the hydraulic pressure in the system was way down, still enough to engage reverse and enough to work all the shifts, but not enough to engage forward without a slight tap on the accelerator.

My Subaru has 240 000 km on it and I suppose the clutch pack rebuild wouldn't hurt, but as it is now it engages quickly and shifts up are noticeably smoother.

May not be the solution for every case, but it solved my situation.

I have the same car - same problem. Too hot or too cold and then just another once and while for good measure :(
I've had the battery checked and is good. Is it likely to be the starter?

2000 Subaru Outback. It will turn over but won't catch or start? I can't find a diagram for relay / fuses. Does it have a security system in place?

Yes, all cars have alarms and engine immobilizers. Yours needs resetting, but I wonder what made it become unpaired, key to ECU. Try a reset anyway.

You may need an auto electrician to diagnose the fault and fix it.

2000 subaru outback 2.5 L engine problems

you need to pull the timing covers to see if it has a broken timing belt and find out for sure if it is an interferance engine, could be a good deal if it just needs T-belt.

If you are getting sparks at the positive cable when attaching I would suspect a hard short in the system. Check that the starter has not shorted.

Grounding issue? Fusible link? 1997 Subaru Legacy won't start

Yea i would check the fusible link. Check all the wires at the alternator and to the starter. Take them loose and clean all connections. Check all body to chassis and engine to chassis/ body grounds. If they look weathered make some and replace or just add some. With the age of it you could have highly corroded wires.

Best thing to do in your case is take it to a mechanic and put it on a computer scanner to bring up a code # to detect the faulty part. The Check Engine Light usually represents a problem in the emissions system.
