Once in a while my 2004 Subaru outback won’t start after a short drive on a very cold morning (below zero Fahrenheit). It starts fine first thing in the morning then I drive it a quarter of a mile to the store, and 20 minutes later the engine will turn over but not fire at all. If I let it sit a half an hour it will easily start up again. Someone told me there was a Car Talk program many years ago that feature this problem. Any suggestions on what may be happening or where I can find a link to that program? Thanks!
