February 9, 200521 yr anyone know what pap wants for a fuel pump? there is a subie at the one in lynnwood w/97k on it that the pump would probably be pretty good on...mine is still humming away with changes in tone and pitch and volume depending upon if the turn signal is one/lights one etc...also, car is hesitating a bit going up hills and i understand that those two things are symptoms of a dying pump..dont know if its original or not but the car has 204k on it....will probably try the fuel filter first but probably wouldnt hurt to have an extra pump on hand..if they arent too expensive..the pap in denver charges $12.99 for one... 89 wgn spi thanx alan
February 10, 200521 yr Call and ask what they charge. As far as difference in tone from turnsignal and lights... that's just a Subaru thing. I have a brand new pump and when I hit the turn signals the pump changes tone every pulse of the light. I think the issue there is somewhere between the alt <-> batter <-> wiring upto ECU. Good to have a spare I'd grab it! New one is ~ $170

February 10, 200521 yr mine does that too. and my charging system is in great shape. changes with rear defrost too Yeah same here; basicly any noticable electrical draw. Wonder if the fat alternator upgrade would fix it ?
February 10, 200521 yr Author well, got a new fuel filter in and it still hesitates a bit so just to be safe went to the lynnwood pap this morning and got that fuel pump from the 89 gl with only 97k! and it only cost me $8 something..a little cheaper then a new one thats for sure will hang on to it just in case...
February 11, 200521 yr that whole change in fuel pump with the bllinkers thing since the ecu trips a relay to more or less directly power the fuel pump off the fuse box it pretty much gets all the +voltage it needs i would look into eitehr missing or crappy battery to body grounds and battery to engine grounds and then add one or two more grounds between the motor and body then get bored and check your ground point at the fuel pump it may or may not help but hey.. can't hurt
