Try installing a relay from the battery to the starter solenoid from the original signal wire, this way you get a full 12 volts to the starter. In some cases from the ignition switch and trough all the connections there can be a voltage drop, this can bypass some of those issues.

Hmm thinking --- i suspect the crankshaft sensor first if that doesnt cure the problem then maybe a faulty transistor or chip in the computer ? best i can offer is to ask a local mechanic to have a look or the most likely the cheapest way out ? and dont laugh - the main dealer

SOURCE: 93 subaru legacy starting problems

Probably a short or loose connection between battery and starter motor, or on either end of cables. Id look there before swapping out starter.On cold days you might put a heater under car for a few hours before using it,do this carefully as to avoid a car fire, or look into a block heater for your engine.

SOURCE: Subaru Legacy 98' Outback Legacy won't start when hot

I have the same car - same problem. Too hot or too cold and then just another once and while for good measure :(
I've had the battery checked and is good. Is it likely to be the starter?

SOURCE: 1997 Subaru legacy cooling fan

well if the fan is stiff to turn by hand I would replace the fan the motor seems like is seized up, just in case ceck the fuses and relays, check the motors voltage and test the circuts voltage, make sure the ect sensor is working fine to be on the safe side. the easy way to make sure a relay is working is trade it with another for the same fuse box. if your fan cuts on you know you have a bad relay.

Starts when cold

Sounds like a bad ignition system, if its firing poorly through your distributor once it warms up its not firing hot enough.

My 1993 Subaru Legacy L has a sticky gas pedal, sometimes. Yep, sometimes it sticks. Mostly it doesn't. Any ideas where I should start my troubleshooting? Don't want anyone getting hurt from it...

I would start by looking at the linkage under the hood...making sure that it is not being bound up by anything...make sure the cable that goes down to the pedal from the tbi/carb is free if nicks and does not have any holes in it or where the insulation has maybe rubbed off..if you do find the cable has damage, then I would recommend replacing at once for safe operation

With engine cold, 1991 Legacy starts and runs fine. Once warm, transmission acts as if it's in neutral, won't engage for forward or reverse.

I would check the transmission fluid level to make sure it's full. If it's full and still doesn't move you may have to take it to a repair shop.
