Re: fuel problem help
Yeah, the connector under the rear seat on the passenger side can get excessive resistance and cause problems. Replacing it with insulated spade connectors usually fixes the problem.

Re: fuel problem help
I had this problem with my first legacy, moisture got into the fuel pump connector under the seat, it arced and melted enough to mess it up. I cut the connector off and just hard wired it. Never had a problem after that. Try replacing the connector or just hard wire it, make sure to unplug the battery obviously when doing this.
