Welllllllllll how do I say this without incriminating myself too much, after furiously mad panic stations on the sunday, it was decided that first thing monday it would be towed to the electricians! as my husband had concluded it was electrical this came after new battery fuses etc.. had been checked and many an hour spent under the bonnet.As we have a kill switch, which I had tried an still did not go also I reminded my husband of this and he screamed at me its not the bloody kill switch @#!*!!? ok, have a GREAT DAY! So come monday morning after getting up early to drop my husband off at work dressed only in my dressing gown jammies and socks and slippers I duly dropped him off and used our pajero for the day which I ended up having to put 10 dollars in. That night he returned home with the subaru and a receipt for work done I ( I had visions of hundreds of dollars worth) but noooooo $54.00 great ah! Cos it was the kill switch !!!!.
We will never speak of this again!!!!! It is often the simple things in life that we overlook? TeeHeeee.

SOURCE: How do you replace the fuel pump in 1992 2wd Subaru Legacy Wagon

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler assembly.
4. On All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles, remove the rear differential assembly and the rear crossmember. You do not have AWD so this step is not for you
   
5. Remove the fuel filler cap and drain the fuel into a suitable container.
6. Remove the fuel filler pipe protector.
7. Raise and support the vehicle safely on jackstands.
8. Remove the fuel filler, air vent and delivery hoses.
9. On AWD vehicles, disconnect the air breather hoses and evaporation hose from the pipes.
10. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack or equivalent lifting device.
11. Loosen the attaching bolts and lower the fuel tank slightly.
12. Disconnect the fuel pump harness

SOURCE: why is my 1996 subaru legacy not getting fuel?

but if you have no fuel pressure it wont start. Spray some quick start. If it starts then you need to test for fuel pressure. If none or low, replace fuel pump.

this one would best be solved step by step together. First question i have is, when you turn the key to the run position, do you hear a whirring toward the back of the vehicle, then that means your fuel pump is getting power. If you don't hear that, then it is possible that you have a bad fuel pump. Next, you will want to start looking at fuses and relays. Under your hood, there should be a block of fuses. Your car's maintenance manual should have a diagram of your fuse block letting you know which fuses and relays affect which systems. Look for any blown fuses; 3 things i would look at are a PCM fuse, a fuse in the fuel system, and a fuel pump relay. If there are any blown fuses, replace them and try to start it. If it works, you've solved the problem, if not, try swapping the fuel pump relay with another similar relay. If the relay is not working, swapping it with another should correct that problem. Try to start it, and if that works, the relay is bad. Let me know what you find looking at these items, then if it still isn't working, we'll dig into the filter and pump. Good luck
