you can pull out the back seat and check the connector of fuel pump. But I doubt its the fuel pump, usually they dont go bad unless you have water or always running almost empty all the time.
Keep us posted. PS... I am parting out one of my SVX and I am not too far away from you.

Sorry about the hijak
I have the same sort of problems, and i was wondering if you could post a pic of the fuel pump connector and how we're supposed to know if it's bad.

Did you check the codes? Could be either a Vacuum leak or the fuel pump.

parts and connections
hi me again I was wondering if the gentleman that was offering parts wold be interested in selling the belt cover off his svx i am missing mine also I have checked the fuel pump connector and it is solidly on how much pressure should the fuel line have I see aftermarket pumps offering 200 + should it be that high?
I love this car and am trying to make run like new it has 119000 mile on it tranny was rebuilt by subaru @ 94000 miles 2 years ago it has been fluid changed and running fine. on the dieing could the throttle body be gummed up and cause this problem as subaru has never serviced this car? thanks for ANY help on this matter |

There are a few things that could be causing this that are more common than a fuel pump failure. First step is to check for stored codes.

Do a search for cleaning your MAF, but you may also want to start sourcing a replacement...
