We haven't had any starting problems at all, but ours is a PZEV, so maybe it's different.

Theres an entire thread dedicated to this in the Impreza section. Yea, it happens. I dont really think much of it anymore. Its happened maybe 3 or 4 times and i have 20k miles on it. Dealerships wont do anything about it because they cant replicate it so theres not much we can do.

crop circles I tell you, aliens everywhere In regards to the rough start after disconnecting battery, cars ram got flushed so the rough start is so it can relearn fuel trim. Should let it run for about 20 mins then turn on a/c that way car relearns info, then it will start up normally. |

Where did you learn about this process? The owner's manual makes no mention of doing anything more than leaving the key in run position for some extra amount of time (I don't remember exactly how long it says) before turning it to start.

learned it from the other nasioc users in the maintenace section and when researching the car. I needed this info because i wanted to preserve the fuel trim and avoid having it sit and relearn.
this is from my notes Battery: Get a computer memory saver from walmart $5, plug it in before changing battery otherwise whenever you remove battery from a subaru, you have to reprogram the fuel trim or car stalls when you exceed 5mph or just won't get fuel economy out of 20's. To reprogram computer remove battery depress brake pedal once. Install new battery. Turn key and let instrument panel light up, wait a bit so pump primes then turn over car, do not stop turn over the car and hold the key in place until it starts. This boots up the computer correctly. Let car run for 20 mins then turn on a/c for 5 mins and let it continue running. Fuel trims will then be saved. battery size is group 35, in case you are wondering about the stalling http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2209950 blinking alarm lights, and etc all occur post battery replacement. Also you have to reprogram your window for auto up and down Initialization of power window If the vehicle's battery is disconnected due to situations such as battery or fuse replacement, the following functions are deactivated: 1. One-touch auto up/down function . 2. Anti-entrapment function while driving. Initialize the power window using the following procedure to reactivate these functions. 1.Close the driver's door. 2.Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. 3.Open the driver's side window halfway by pushing down the power window switch. 4. Pull up the power window switch and close the window completely. Continue pulling up the switch for approximately 1 second after the window is closed completely. |

Condensation being expelled from the exhaust is completely normal, and while I have yet to crawl under my car to hear what the exhaust sounds like up close, I'd say yours sounds normal to me.

hmmm thanks for the input...if someone can check theirs and let me know if it sounds the same, please let me know. video or sound of it for comparison would definitely ease my mind. does anyone know if accident void our warranties? I checked the other thread on it but doesnt really say other than major accidents and salvage title. I hope to god my car is not salvage because of this, if it is I'm going for gold with that guy. |

Well... I went out and fired up my Impreza during my break. I also took a short video, but I can't upload it until I get home. I have the PZEV Impreza, and it was just barely coming off high idle as I was recording. Mine doesn't "putter" like yours does right now, but that could be because it was still idling pretty high, or because it's the PZEV version. I'll upload the video tonight. |

Thank you for taking video also, I look forward to comparing it. I assume something is messed up since I never noticed the sound before. I assume a hole in the cat or exhaust since that what I've been seeing off of others who post videos on youtube titled holes in exhaust/cat. Thanks again and I'll wait for the video tonight. Sadly my first ever video upload on youtube is about my banged up car. |

I had to do this on my mom's 2005 Saabaru 9-2x. It needed to run until it was completely warmed up before it acted normal again.

You don't have to do that just be aware if anything weird starts happening after you pull the battery clear the computer and relearn the fuel trims he he. a $5 computer saver in the automotive section of walmart comes in handy. I have done this twice on both cars when I replaced the battery to retain all the computer information that way I don't have to sit there and wait for it to relearn. In previous model year subies with 5spd you can find many threads about this. http://blogs.computerworld.com/why_i...boot_my_subaru don't be like that person and damage your vehicle if you see these warning signs.

I wonder if that is possible though, but i mean it was a pretty hard impact virtually at full speed since I never heard or saw him brake/slow down before and at time of impact. BTW objects are definitely "closer than they appear" on the rear view |

I don't think he damaged his car. I think what he was saying in the article is that he replaced wires and plugs for nothing, since that wasn't really the problem. |

At high idle (windy parking lot): After the 30 minute ride home: I'm changing my mind, and agreeing with what others have said... Something may have come loose in the muffler. Yours just seems to have a bit more "putter" than mine. . |

I have a horrible rattle coming from the area of the control panel for the heat/ac controls. It sounds like a bunch of change rattling every time I go over bumps or rough terrain. If i press on the panel it will stop. It's right under the controls for the fan speed. Anyone else have this complaint?

I doubt the pins would fall off from the spot of ice I slighly hit. The Canadian Sport Package is lower than the US model. It's annoying sometime for the ground clearance. |
