Sounds very much like an electrical problem of some
kind..............as if the fuel supply is blocked, there is no chance
of restart after a short time, without having cleared the blockage
first.


Not always. If the float valve is partially blocked it can allow a little
fuel to trickle through which in time will re fill the float chamber, but
not enough to run the engine, so when the bowl has emptied the engine
splutters and dies from fuel starvation.

That is somewhat like the problem I had on my Subaru Legacy Estate. Fuel
starvation.

Superb car but started to get expensive when things did eventually start to
go wrong. Would have had another, but the Subaru Dealership was not renewed
here on the Isle of WIGHT. One of my daughters' is on her third Subaru. A
Legacy Estate like mine to start with then a couple of Impreza's, she is
talking about getting another one
