Please post on the scal thread so we have one link

 

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you get it up and running QUICK! Good luck!

 

wow that sucks.. best of luck to you and sorry to hear this.

 

I wonder what happened though...seems odd that there wasn't any indication of malfunction other than it not starting. No leaks or odd noises??

 

Puel pump doesn't cost much. Is it stock or walbro? In any case, I would say tow to a subaru dealer, speed-element, or gst. Better than those untrust-worthy mechanics.

 

Yes, I am thinking of flying up or driving up again...

 

Oh, you went down to LA already? You should have just stay in a motel near a shop and have the car towed to be worked on. If it is only fuel pump, it shouldn't take more than a few hours to fix. If you are going to drive up here, may be you could do it yourself at the lot.

Well, what happend is happend. Just get some rest tonight, think about this @#$# tommorow. When you think about it, it's only a used car. Besides, nobody will be able to drive it away, since it doesn't even start. If someone take it away, insurance will cover. Stop worrying and get some rest tonight. Everything will work out fine.

 

Thanks. What happened happened. I did get some rest and is ready to roll. I am going to first talk to my mechanic, then decide what to do, probably go up and get my car tow to the dealer (I rather be there to happen even if I can do it over the phone... which I doubt). (sorry don't know how to fix car)

Like you said, when it comes down to it it's only a used car. At least I can pay (maybe a lot) to fix the problem.

I am invovled with Team In Training which fundraise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (That's why I was up in SF to do the Nike Women's Marathon). As much as I feel hopeless on the freeway, need to deal with uncertainty about my car, this is nothing like cancer. I know a women who passed away 3 months after I know her. I know a 5 years kid named Tyler who battle Non-Hodgkin disease and did the chemo and was ok, then few weeks ago his cancer came back. We thought he wasn't gonna make it (Tyler's parents still trying to see what is the best treatment... keep doing chemo... or do a bone marrow transplant). They see different doctors and have mix results. They are now just going thru chemo. For my car, I only need to pick Center Minute Lube or Turlock Subaru... both causes time and money. For my friend Tyler, it's time, money, stress, and his life we are talking about. This is what I came to conclusion yesterday when I was sitting on the freeway barrier waiting for the tow truck. Thank you all for reading. Posting what happen to me yesterday helps me get thru this 'small' crsis

 

I dont know why u didnt post a urgent message on the Norcal I-club side...some of us live near Patterson and Im sure would of been happy to help u out...I know for a fact I have a cousin in Tracy who would of let you tow the car to his garage...

Never leave a car like that into a deserted place!

 

We have spare stock fuel pumps here that your welcome to have, I don't have a fuel pump controller though but would think a local dealer should have that.

If we can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to contact us.
