2014 Subaru Forester Manual Base Model....Wife was driving on a state highway in May of this year. She exited and came to a stop. Car died. Called me up. By the time that I got to her, about 30 minutes, the car cranked a few times and then started rough but cleared up. Drove it home. Checked for codes, nothing. I pulled out the fuel pump relay and wiped off the contacts. Pulled the rear seat and checked the connections on the fuel pump. A little dusty in there but the contacts were clean. Ran fine until last Sunday. Same thing; car died. This time by the time that I got there it would crank but not start. Called a tow truck. The next morning they tried to start it but it would not start. The tech (independent shop) got a chance to look at it and said "there was a lot of fuel in the cylinders" and "got it out." Now it starts. No codes by his reader either. The car has been starting at his shop for two days just like normal. He was going to drive it home tonight to see if he could duplicate.
There a few threads on here with similar issues but I can't find any that had a solution other than low battery or low fuel. The battery tests good and we live pretty remote so we consider 1/2 to be empty on all of our cars.
