Default What do u think this problem is?

So Iabout to start playing around with my WRX 2007 "eagle eye"

When I bought it like 3 years ago, the car would now and then give me what i call "fuel issues" as in it would seem like fuel would cut out and the car would hop.

The car has had regular service, etc.

In the past 6 weeks the car would give me "fuel issues" every time i put fuel in this paticular BP. So i changed to a new site.

The car in the past 3 days has gone to worse.
The car would have a fit and then drive fine.
If i parked the car on a angle then it would be hard to start.

So this weekend im removing the fuel tank and cleaning the bugger out changing the internal fuel filter etc.

But what I did find interesting is that in some of the cases the car wouldnt start and it wouldnt crank.

Is the car that intelligent that if it doesn feel fuel pressure it wont crank over?

Could this a brand problem also? that I been reading about in forums?

When you turn the ignition on, does your Fuel pump prime?

Brant seems to be a common cause, dry solder joints or something cutting power to the fuel pump

Someone has their birds-of-prey confused it's a Hawk eye or a pig.

Sounds similar to the brant issue I had.

Could it be the flux capacitor or the hydroxilator?
Seriously, pulling the fuel tank out is a big job and unnecessary. It is more likely an electrical issue and/or the fuel pump. The fuel pump can be replaced without removing the fuel tank.
If you're not sure of what you're doing, best bet is to take the car to someone who does know what they are doing and get it sorted.
