I had my car diag. by a mech. on Friday. He confirmed I had to replace my fuel pump. On Sat. I installed a new fuel pump, fuel strainer, and fuel filter. It drove great Sat. and Sun. Now on Monday it won't start. It has plenty of spark and all fuses are intacked. It did start twice today after 5-10 min. of trying to turn over. After it started it ran good. But now it won't start again. Any ideas? Does Subaru have a history w/ fuel problems? Please help. Thank you.

No codes present?

It seems as if you already have confirmed spark so i would check fuel pressure at this point to ensure the fuel pump is priming. I would then check for injector pulse or plugs for being fouled or fuel.

At this point you may have flooded the engine. I would spray some quick start in the tb and retry.
