Default Classic WRX spluttering - Help

So last night I picked up my wrx, took it for a test drive everything was fine blah blah.

On the way home I was just cruising along at 70 and it just started spluttering and almost cut out at one point. But 2 minutes later it was all fine again. But every now and again it just loses power when cruising on the motorway.

Also, when I parked up on the services I turned full lock right into a parking space and it just cut out.

Now the guy I bought it off said he had to replace fuel sender recently. Could it just be he hasn't installed it correctly? Or is the issue something more serious? I'm really not happy with the car at the moment

Check the wiring under the back seat that goes to the fuel pump.

^ yeah check that are first for anything obvious i.e. loose connections. a multimeter may help locate any issues too.

did you get a CEL?

How do I remove rear seats?

Only got a cel when it actually stalled on the car park. But it went as soon as I fired the car back up.
