Put Low ron in!!!
 
I know ive been on her before about cold starting problems but ive just thought when i first bought my 1995 impreza wrx the b*stard i bought it off left it empty and because i didnt know the area i had to get fuel quick and i put in low graded fuel from a scummy non named garage could this have made my car crap at starting in the morning? If so can i just reset my ecu?

Stay off boost, use as much as the **** up as you can, and then refill with the fuel of your choice.

If it was that low, id suggest changing the fuel filter :thumb: and running some injector cleaner through the tank.

As above, you dont need to worry about the ecu i wouldnt have thought 95ron fuel would effect starting anyway infact if its a standard uk car it should be ok to use

no its all out of the system now i put shell v power in now but im just wondering if it could of caused the poor starting in the morning?

If everything is ok mechanically you would proberly be better of buying a fault code reader and see if it shows up any fault codes i think there only £20/25

Cold starting issues can be caused by the coolant sensor, the ECU one,even if an error isnt being logged (been there etc)
Then,with any new car (owner of) , change the fuel filter/plugs and air filter.
