97 Outback will not start when it is REALLY cold! Ignition turns over, but engine won't start. Once the day warms up, the car starts.Mechanic last week had the car, but temps were in the 30s, so it cranked right up, wouldn't you know!

Anyone have the same problem? Find a solution? Thanks.

Had a tune up done recently? Check or replace spark plugs, wires if needed, add some injector cleaner and alcohol (gas line de-icer). As eddie noted,

5w-30 oil will make a difference as well. Ed B.
