What happens when fuel pump starts to go bad?
What happens when fuel pump starts to go bad? I believe i started having issues yesterday with mine. Guage usually sits at 6psi then it started twitching to 3psi and engine was running badly, before yesterday it would go up towards 10psi after driving awhile when running lower rpms. yesterday something quit and i was braking to turn into neighborhood and engine quit. I tryed to crank engine with clutch in while coasting and no deal.... had to push the rest of the way past the neighbors! Let everything sit over night thinking it might be flooded and tryed to crank this morning and nada.... starter while turning engine over sounded like it was under load and killing battery or something else went wrong. i did find that bolt holding throttle linkage had almost worked its way loose from nut almost coming off... but can't believe that is source of issues.
any thoughts? Keith |
You step on it and about two thirds the way through a run the engine backfires. Then, as you are taking part in a poker run the engine just dies, only to start again after ten to twenty minutes.
So, you run into Jegs and buy a new pump. :D |
The last time I changed one was in 1970 (or so) on the way to a TransAm race at Mont Tremblant. It was on my 221CID V8 Fairlane. Back then it was two bolts and two hoses. I'll bet it's still that easy, why not just replace it?
