So I am 85% sure my fuel pump is going out, my PO said he took it off his el camino anyways...

I do not want a re-built one, nor to pay 400 bucks from my local parts store..

I have been looking at universal pumps.

My question is. I have a 1.8 with a D-Jet from a 1.7. and I was wondering how much GPH and PSI is needed...

And, I have seen guys install them in the front trunk. Where? and is this the best location? seams like it...

My location is under the car, on the batt side, and i do not like that idea.


and last, dose anybody have good brands? and where to get them at a fair price?

I don't know what it was called, nor do I have a link, but someone suggested and bought a pump that worked fine.

BTW, I've taken apart and 'fixed' both types of FI pumps in the last month. It can be done.
