Most modern cars have emergency fuel shut off inertia switch that kills the fuel-pump in an accident. They have a tenancy to activate on their own sometimes. Look in the trunk area for a reset switch.

Check on a Subaru forum too. The collective experience really helps smoke out problems. I've fixed a number of issues on my Durango with the help of a dedicated Durango forum.

Instead of pouring fuel into the intake (dangerous), pop your air filter housing open and spray some carb clean through the air intake hose as someone tries to start it. If it starts and runs while you spray then it's a fuel issue, if not, continue testing. We don't get many Scooby Doos in the shop but from what I recall it's a distributorless ignition and should have a crankshaft sensor, which can go bad and cause this problem as well.

I really wonder at the wisdom of car designers and putting the fuel pump inside the gas tank.
What genius decided that was a good idea. Say on a 60's Chevy, bad fuel pump, OK, 15 minutes to bolt on a new one. I had a 1987 VW Golf that had about 150K on it, fuel pump went out. I found out about it being inside the gas tank and the repair estimate.... Sold it a week later for $500. Some newer cars have good diagnostics built in the computer so you just plug it into the code reader and it will say what is broke. If you are a good DIY, you might want to pick up a repair manual for that car, many times they have tricks in the book to diagnose what's wrong.

You said it stalled and came back. That alone rules out timing belt. It is likely a dying or dead sensor.
