I blew my 03 Outback engine at 152,000 miles. A Subaru specialist re-built the engine and the car runs great but won't re-start when warm after driving. My mechanic, who only re-builds Subarus, is stumped. He also had it checked out by another Subaru shop that couldn't figure out the problem. We are looking for help and ideas, p l e a s e ! Here's what has been done: rebuilt engine- used 03 cylinder heads with egr tubs, center block is the same oil pump- no change crank, cog, sprocket, changed 3 crank sensors- cam sensors replaced intake wiring harness replaced upstream O2 replaced fuel pressure regulator replaced new fuel pump replaced computer replaced coil pack replaced intake manifold assembly new air temperature sensor w/new coolant temperature sensor and coolant sensor new plugs and plug wires all grounds established plus new ground added all electrical components checked all timing marks checked new factory plugs new idler, tensioner, water pump, bearings, seals etc. new clutch etc. Here's where we are now: The car starts right up when cold-normal idle. It doesn't start after driving. Re-starts after it cools down. They tested the idle control solenoid and the intake manifold has been replaced. The Check Engine codes we are getting are the following and do not seem to be related to any driving conditions: misfire bank 1 crank sensor The check engine flashes after ½ hour 30+ times down to 3 times, but not in any sequence. Then it clears. This doesn't give us any useful info. Any thoughts or ideas? The car wouldn't start right after we got it back so we had the mechanic pick it up to fix it. He has the car and has tested or replaced everything he can think of, and the car still does not restart when warm. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
