mbsl98 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have the mpression that the fuel pump relay fails far more frequently than the pump itself. If anything, I think the relay should be on the Stage 0 list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oreo931 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 here you go assholeLINKI wasnt doubting the fact that it was listed, I am saying that IMO it is one of those things that you replace when it breaks. I wouldnt randomly replace my fuel pump for preventative maintenence.Asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 VII 7 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 yeah, well with 177k on my original... would you call that a preventive maintenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 yeah, well with 177k on my original... would you call that a preventive maintenance?Considering it took you THIS long to replace a god damn O2 sensor, then no. Noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge_Brownie Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 you guys just crapped all over this thread.I'd think replacing the original 177k old fuel pump would be a wise preventative maintenance item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 It is part of the "Stage 0" procedureanyone have an answer to my question regarding the 255lph vs OEM fuel consumption?95 liters per hour vs 255 liters per hourLink about fuel pumps hereThat took me like 30 seconds on google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownTurboBrick Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 lol erik with the random pwnage.and i never considered fuel pump as stage 0...and seeing 90-180k on pumps theres a lot to be said for pump longevity. thats what im trying to see...why some pumps are getting nearly twice the life of others.

Noob. Edit: And they all have the ADS system (Asian Driver Sensor) that automatically shortens their life to half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 850T-5 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'd say one of the most common causes of premature fuel pump failure is by those who like to run on E for extended periods of time since the fuel actually cools the pump. this can cause it to eventually burn out over time. I always replace Fuel Pump and FI relays as preventative maintenance, since they do and can fail at higher mileages. It won't help the pump last longer but they're fairly easy, inexpensive and you won't have to worry about them being a problem later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HtownTurboBrick Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The walboro is going on regardless, so it's not of major concern to me. However here's a kicker for all you guys. She started right up and i drove her 15 minutes from my parking lot to my house no issues. Turned her off and tested to see if it was a fluke and she started right up again. So what now? Fuel pumps don't come back from the dead...atleast i wouldn't think so. I got a new gremlin to hunt down and kill. O and btw i'm starting to wonder if the problems i've been having arent' weather related. Every time she starts acting funky its during warm weather 65* and up...and we've been getting random runs of hot and cold every other day or 2 days for the last month and pretty much how sparatic the issues have been.
