It appears that the fuel pump in my Subaru
1996 2.2 legacy
has failed. However I have read a caution that a faulty fuel
pressure sensor can be the actual cause. But I have not
found any additional information on this. Nor do I know where
or what to look for or if my car in fact has one and if I did find
one how would I test it?
I have found replacement fuel pumps on Ebay for about $40
Also found other pumps elsewhere for $230 OWCH!
I did not find any fuel Pressure sensors on Ebay. Are these
parts worth even considering? Here is a link

Check the fuel pump fuses first then replace the fuel pump. There is no fuel pressure sensor listed in any of my parts manuals.
The part you have heard of is the fuel pressure regulator. It’s on the engine.
Here are the testing instructions for the fuel pressure regulator: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?fromSearchPage=true&pageId=0900c15280066fcb&partName=Fuel+Pressure+Regulator&partId=0900c15280066fcb To see the information, you need to register at autozone.com, and come back and click on the link.
What are the symptoms of the problem? The Haynes, or Chilton’s Repair Manuals have the instructions you need to troubleshoot the fuel pump.
If you don’t need to replace the fuel pump, you would want to know how to find the trouble, wouldn’t you?
