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. |

QUOTE(McMark @ Nov 16 2011, 09:34 PM)  BTW, I've taken apart and 'fixed' both types of FI pumps in the last month. It can be done. Repairing is easy, many times it's just crap in the pump, but where do you source the "o-ring"? Most of the time that leaks after you put it back together. I've never been able to source the correct size 'o-ring'. |
