1990 Legacy; 2.2 L; AWD; not turbo. On cold start, vehicle starts fine, but then immediately dies. Restarts fine, but dies again. Won't idle until engine is warm. I have replaced the fuel filter, engine coolant temperature sensor, and spark plugs. No help. Don't know if this helps or not, but once the car is warm and at idle, there is a moderate surge in idle speed (from about 800-900 rmp to 1100-1200 rpm).
I am thinking this is some kind of engine temperature sensor.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

Car
not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can
be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it
can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or
no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or
injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.
To
confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

I have the same problem. I haven't been able to solve it yet.
hi i got a 1994 previa. at could start, engine dies unless i keep my foot a litle bit down on the pedal.when its warm ,the rpm is about 800,and runs fine, but with less power than normal when accelerate
engine starts fine when cold but hard to start when the engine has reached operating temperature. It takes an extra 3-4 seconds and idles rough until I start driving again.
Until engine is warmed up the engine dies when put in reverse. If put in drive , no problem
