No it doesn't ! Vehicle won't start ? Are you assuming it doesn't have fuel or did you test with fuel pressure gauge ! May be a main relay or fuel pump relay etc... Is there spark ? Is there compression ? You can check fuel system wiring diagram at http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html There are youtube videos checking fuel an spark etc...

SOURCE: automatic shift knob stuck in

There are two switches that have to be activated before the park lock is released. The first is on the brake pedal, the second is the thumb button on the shifter. Most often the brake pedal switch is the problem, it can be pushed back and forth in its mount, sometimes it gets pushed to far and no longer switches when the pedal is depressed. You can also use the emergency release and shift out of park anytime. There is a plastic "ring" around the base of the shifter, in most cars it is black, in cars with wood grain trim pieces it is wood grain. The best way to get it out is to unscrew the center console and push it up from the back, you can pry it up buy you may break the tabs that hold it in. When this piece is out, look down at the front of the shifter base, there is a hole a pen will fit down into. If you push a pen, pencil, or any small round straight object down into that hole, it will mechanically release the shifter lock and allow you to get out of park. My daughter drove her 96 Legacy that way for months until I got around to fixing the brake switch.

SOURCE: where is the emergency fuel cut off switch

The neon don't have one, check the fuse and relay's. The fuel pump is also controlled by the Auto Shut down relay (ASD). The power supplied to the fuel pump. Ignition coil, fuel injectors, and parts of the power module is controlled by the logic module through the Automatic Shutdown Relay (ASD). The ASD relay is closed (allowing power to flow through it) when the ignition is first turned on. If the signal from the ignition reference is lost while the engine is running  the logic module cuts power to the ASD, which in turn removes power from the fuel pump, ignition coil, injectors and those parts of the power module.  This causes the engine to shut down. Good luck and hope this helps.

2004 Subaru Legacy 35th anniversary edition. Where is the fuel pump relay reset button for it.

Question edited for clarity and correct spelling of maker.
Question moved to model category.

Relays don't have a reset button, they are just an electro mechanical switch. Subaru don't have inertia cut off switches.

https://www.subaruforester.org/threads/2004-cant-find-the-fuel-pump-reset-switch.844913/

Help in the link, but it sounds like you need an auto electrician even though you give no clue what is wrong with the vehicle.

97 Subaru Legacy, 142,000 miles. Temp Guage

Sounds like the Coolant is not full and has a air bubble. It is very important to have the system filled complete. That would be the first step.Good luck and have a great day.
