ive had this every day for a week to and from work.

when i turn the ignition and try start the car it turns over slowly. the boost solonoid by the o/s strut will be clicking away constantly. if i tap/flick the solonoid many times eventually it will prime and turn over quickly. the engine will start right away.

the car is a 93 import wrx.

do we think its related to the cold or just wearing/sticking?

ive owned the car 6 1/2 years never had this.

cheers

going to give it a blast when i get chance (or have no choice lol) with some brake cleaner. whats your price inc delivery? location?

 

£30 inc delivery for boost solenoid with map sensor im in southam warwickshire bud

 

I don't think your boost solenoid is at fault here. A faulty boost solenoid would not stop a car from starting.

You say the car turns over slowly, have you tried borrowing a battery to see if it improves matters?
