Fuel Pump Died

[Davyboy]

I figured it was only a matter of time before it would happen to me, and sure enough it happened.

I was driving and started loosing power, then it wouldn't start once I parked. Checked and it wasn't getting fuel, well the lovely part about old vehicles is that things rust and break...

The joyous part was that the nut attached to the clip which holds the straps that hold the tank to the vehicle broke off, so I could only take one clip off, so a job that should have taken two hours took me 6 and a half lol...

Well for my 1994, (in canada where things cost stupid amounts more) it only cost me 124 dollars to change my fuel pump, pump strainer, fuel pump relay, and fuel filter. If anyone wants, I know there is a guide for the newer models, but I could post a step by step guide to what I did.

hopefully you got a new delphi pump and not a knock off from the part store.... heard some horror stories about how long (or short) those other brands last.

I replaced mine with a cheap airtex fuel pump almost a year ago and haven't had any problems with it (knock on wood)

Delphi is the only way to.
Having my share of airtex experience, I will never buy anything other than Delphi. Thankfully I just put one in last week after my airtex shit the bed.

Rebelution,
Key word is "cheap". Remember the old saying "you get what you pay for", its only a matter of time. Thankfully I was able to get mine home after a 5hr round trip to the beach with my family, that was after it died on me 5 times in the matter of 30 minutes. Though it did last 1.5 yrs, its just something you never now when its going to go.
