My subaru will turn over but it is not firing up when you turn the key over. My mechanic said it could be electrical, he told me that when you turn the key over it is not getting fuel into the fuel pump. Could it be an alternator, fuel line, fuel filter? I really need to get it fixed as soon as possible. Thanks

Do below to determine whether it's a spark or fuel problem:

Cranks and w/n start

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
