2001 Subaru Outback 4dr Wagon
212-horsepower 3.0L H6 4-speed automatic AWD
140000 mi
Car was running fine until stalling. Would not restart could hear the fuel pump but engine had no fuel pressure. There is a metal can on the fuel pump assembly that is normally under pressure but developed a crack on the mounting tabs=no psi
Brake light housing was cracked (internally) and leaked water in - continually blowing bulbs (but not fuses...) I pulled the housing, drained the water, drilled a hole in the bottom and its been fine ever since.
Check engine light came on after a long trip over mountains, etc. No obvious failure, likely emissions related. Within a week the light went off. I should have it checked out, but likely won't unless it returns.
