all working now..there was a connection under back seat that came unpluged (wife found it ) Thanks for your help :0)

do not hear pump power up with key on..checked fuse seems to be ok as i swaped another 30 amp to check. getting late will mess after work with it. Thanks for your advice

fuel gauge does not work as it did b/4 i pulled pump..where is fuse i could check?

car would not run when you accelerate coughing and sputtering..replaced fuel filter..02 front bank( check eng came on ran codes )..new plugs and air filter..did pressure test and psi was 0 also bypassed fuel filter and cranked and fuel just dribbled out..best guess was fuel pump..the only electrical i messed with was the 6 pin plug to pull fuel pump..

everything worked fine untill i replaced fuel pump..

start fluid did not work..

do you know what fuse it might be so i can see if it is blown? i will try starter fluid in a few mins

hey i have a new tranny 0 miles i would make you a great deal on as i bought for my 03 forester and did not fit as i have earley 03 and this tranny is for late 03-04 rebuilt by subaru.. daddycool100@yahoo.com

with key on i checked 6 pin plug that plugs to top of fuel pump seems no power unless key not only needs to be on but cranking?

replaced fuel pump turned key on fuel gauge not working and car not starting..I direct wired fuel pump on bench and runs great

got it..Thanks

2003 subaru Forester..Is there a fuel pump access panel under back seat or do i have to drop the fuel tank?

I had replaced fuel filter as i will be replacing fuel pump this weekend.

Update: replaced worn out plugs , air filter , same results..Did a fuel pressure test and what do you know it was just a trickel coming out of fuel line after bypass fuel filter and crank key. I think we found the problem as she needed a tune up anyway.Thanks everyone for your help..Also found out there was a filter behind the glove box as i was wondering why the air and heat did not blow like my outback..Blew out filter and increased volume out of vents by 1/3.

yup NGK plugs and fuel pressure next i guess..
