My 92 Impreza wagon has been bucking/hesitating for a few months and from what I had been reading, it could be the fuel pump.
A couple days ago, after getting a full tank of gas, it would not start at the pump. It cranked a little but wouldn't turn over. When I turned the key again it cranked a little less, followed by a "tick tick tick tick" from underneath the dash.
I'm not mechanically savy but I read quite a bit and watched a handful of videos which helped me replace the fuel pump.
It didn't work. It still cranks a little, followed by "tick tick..."
And when I turn the key, I don't hear the pump at all.
My next step, with a little internet help, is to check the fuel pump relay
I've been told to maybe change the fuel filter and try spraying starter fluid while someone tries to turn it over.
I've also been told it could be a timing belt issue or kinked fuel line.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
I'm going to check the relay right now.
