I was thinking about that.. A'right.. I'll get some pics up as soon I paint this car...

Nah... See.. I'm trying to just get the car to my home 100miles away from my friends home. After I get it there. I'm going to replace every existing part I can find for this. Make it top notch and original. This things practically a Classic now.

Okay... So.. I direct wired it . Bolted the ground from the negative onto the existing intake manifold. Ran a fuse and a Silver flip switch for the positive current the switch is laying in the floor and the wire is hooked up. Car starts...>.>; but the pump has to be turned on and off with each start/kill. That's a pretty simple fix. Pretty much what I wanted at first... Lol Screw existing wiring.

Thank you thank you. I'll give that a shot. I just didn't want to ground it wrong and have it confuse the ecu and possibly break it...>.<

Did I forget to mention that the Charger has a 12v/24v/55v/Start/Stall selection switch on it. And that I used the 12v selection.. O.o;;; And that way it spits out fuel, but not when I put it back to the connectors on the car. I'm wondering about the ground thing.. where should I ground the pump onto the body at.. Sorry.

I took it off the car and hooked to a 55v battery charger... hooked up two hoses and a gas can. It spits out fuel .... but very slowly Where as on the car..... I know the green testers are for testing purposes.. but it's not spitting fuel in any way. The pump has to be good. I just need it to actually work. even if I have to rewire it manually. I just need to know how to make it turn on while it's on the car. Hooked up.. Even straight wired from the battery. It wont spit any. Do I need to ground the negative pole to the body of the car? Because the relays and the ECU are.. I REPEAT. Are Good. and to answer an earlier question yes it's brand new. and this is the link of the pump I have http://www.autozone.com/selectedZip,30291/initialAction,partProductDetail/initialpartType,00078/initialR,APP171504/initialvehicleId,1083901/shopping/selectZip.htm

Okay.. So.. I fixed one issue and brought another. I removed a custom built 15" speaker box from the backseat/trunk area. The wires from the ecu bracket were unhooked. I plugged the bracket back in and connected the green testers.. now the pump is getting power because I can hear the pump itself click on and off when im under the car. The pump clicks and just gets hot. but when hooked up to a battery charger it turns on and shows little but some suction and doesn't get hot. I removed and swapped the relays around all of them are good. Perhaps the pump actually did go out.. or it's stuck.. Any way to disassemble the pump and fix it or unfreeze it's lock.

Okay.. so I know they have made kits and conversion kits, Turbos, clutch kits and so on for these cars. I'm looking at a few custom XT's at the moment. Would anyone happen to know where to order the stuff to modify this car?

No.. we drained the tank and filled it back up. Like I was saying though... The Pump is getting voltage but a very small amount according to the meter. (( .638 )) To ground the pump directly I would just run a wire off the shell of the fuel pump to the body, or the intake manifold....? Simply have the issue of the fuel pump not pushing the gas to the intake. I appreciate the input.((everyone))

I'm not thinking it's the timing belt. The car has just been parked for two years. The owner (a close friend of mine) informed me that the car runs great. Installed a new fuel pump, NGK wirekit and a new starter and whatever else he said...>.< Even he is baffled as to why it won't start. Perhaps it could be the relay... Considering I'm new to subaru's though.. I need like... an exact down to the Subaru for Dumbies explanation as to where it is...>.<; Sorry..

Thank you for the quick response. A side note (( The relays click but the pump doesnt get voltage and on a 12v electricians simple reader, I got .638 steady with the ignition on.)) One more question, where is the fuel pump relay? I hear relays, but can't locate them.

Okay.. So, I have a Subaru XT. Problem is that the starter turns, lights and electrical seem fine, and everything is in working order except the fuel pump. The fuel pump does work and I know this because I removed it from the passenger side of the car and hooked it up to a battery charger it turns on and has small suction. I hooked everything back up, and came across an issue where the fuel pump isn't pushing gas to the intake, much less turning on. I checked the ground. The ECU does work. My only question is. Is there a way to force the pump into turning on and pushing gas to the intake. Something like a Bypass.... I just got this car and I'd really appreciate some knowledgeable input....
