Subaru Impreza slow starting issue after sitting overnight on Subaru Impreza

Some Subaru Impreza owners report experiencing slow starting issues after the vehicle has been sitting overnight, with the engine taking longer than usual to fire up, typically around 3-5 seconds, without any dimming or flickering of internal lights. These slow starting problems may stem from various factors, including a weak or faulty battery, issues with the charging system, or malfunctioning spark plugs and starter. Owners have noted that if the car cranks for an extended period before starting, it could indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed to prevent further complications. In some instances, jump-starting the vehicle has led to complications such as smoking from the positive connection, which can further impact the starting process. To effectively resolve these issues, it is recommended that owners check the condition of the battery, oil, and spark plugs, and consider inspecting the charging system and starter for faults. If problems persist, consulting a mechanic or dealership for a thorough diagnosis may be necessary.
