Cool, here is the bulletin from Subaru on the filter. Includes a picture so you know what to look for:

I know exactly where you're coming from here. I had an 02 WRX before my 06 and I sunk about 3 grand into it diagnosing a misfire problem. At least your narrows things down a little bit lol. Hope you can get this taken care of soon bro. Keep us updated I'd like to know what's going on.

yea i saved that to my computer a couple of days ago when this all started. so you think replacing the pump will get everything back in line?
