This morning my 97 Legacy (2.2 liter engine) would not start for about 4 or 5 cranks of the starter. It had plenty of turning power. Then I tried pumping the gas a few times. After 4 or 5 more crankings it started, and I had no further problems. Before today I very intermittently experienced something less than instant starts, having to turn the starter for a few seconds, but always starting up. Not sure if these are connected. If the problem continues/recurs I'm just wondering what the most likely cause is. I'm not mechanically inclined, but seems like the cold start valve might cause this problem. If so is it easily accessible/replaceable by one who usually doesn't do mechanical repairs (me)? If not, what other causes might be at fault.
TIA Jim
