Well, at least it's not mine for a change.

My ex-wife (I know I'm going to regret this) has an '01 Outback VDC 3.0. She apparently lost the fuel pump on Monday; engine just quit but had power, etc... Today the pump was replaced, and the car will start but only stay running for a short time. Fuse was checked, but I'm not sure about the relay. Any other possibilities I'm missing, aside from tearing into the electrical?

did they replaced the whole fuel pump housing? I have seen the metal bowl on the surge tank break loose causing the fuel to basically just dump back into the tank and not make sufficient pressure for the engine to run.
