1993 legacy shutting off problem


Recommended Posts

Okay, I am working (from a distance) on a 1993 Legacy wagon, 2.2L 5 spd, 180k.

 

at first, it would cut off while driving, just once in a while, as if it were out of gas.  But it would start right back up and go again

 

Occasionally it would crank up and stutter, then die.  It would almost always crank right back up.

 

Now it just cranks up and dies.  Will still crank up, but stutters off and dies.

 

 

I'm thinking it is the fuel pump, but I havn't had a chance to check it yet.  The car is my friend's, and he lives 45 minutes away.  So my first question is:  is there a schrader valve or similar port that I can hook a fuel pressure gauge to?  Where is it located?  I'd like to know what to take with me (I will be riding my motorcycle, and can't take the whole shop with me)

 

 

He did change the fuel filter, and said fuel was black coming out the back side.  The car had sat for at least 6 months before he bought it and started driving it.
