First up - the foot on the clutch all the way to the floor . . . . bugger me worked perfectly!!. Awesome thanks heaps. (see last para below)
Secondly, I made the mistake of replying to you all individually via emails yesterday. . . . and then found out just now "Mail Delivery Failure". So it probably looks like I never responded to your tips and hints. My bad.
So . . I had already replaced the battery and there was no whine from the fuel pump.
Today with engine cranking , but not starting (on the key), there is still no power getting to the fuel pump, so no "whine". My next plan is to just follow the wire(s) from the fuel pump up to a relay to the ignition. Because the fuses/relays are in Japanese can someone tell me on this model where can I locate the fuel pump fuse and/or relay. (even tho I have checked all the fuses). I'm gonna recheck a relay which I thinks is the fuel pump relay, just cos it clicks, doesn't mean it's good.
Note - my sister bought the Subaru at Turners, been stolen and de-registered. "We" had no idea about the foot on the clutch. Thanks again.
