Fuel Pump Issue

[sphillips]

Installed a new pump from NAPA about three months ago. About a month ago I noticed that when I turn the key on for the first start of the day, I dont hear the pump run as I used to, and the start takes longer than normal. After it starts it runs fine. Next starts during the day are normal, though I still dont hear the pump run.

Thx for any help

Sounds like either a shorted relay, or possibly the pump's on its way out again..

I'll check the relay, but hope its not the pump again!!

Keyword is NAPA your pump is doing exactly what mine was doing before i replaced it
go to amazon.com and order a new pump they sell the factory replacement one for like 70 bucks VS everywhere else wanted like 3-400 bucks just for the pump
i ordered the Prime Choice Auto Parts FPKM141 New Fuel Pump Module Assembly from amazon for 52.88 just under a year ago and it starts on the first turn of the key everytime tip only buy oil filters from napa dont buy anything else i can find performance and replacement parts on amazon cheaper and its the same manufacterers everyone else carrys

as soon as i noticed the huge selection of automotive parts and stuff amazon
carrys and how much cheaper i find parts i dont even bother going to orielys or autozone anyof those places
they also carry all the performance stuff aswell flowmaster exhaust kits shit like that

Personally, I would recommend an oe part. I've heard many others go aftermarket parts and have them fail shortly after, though this may not always be the case. When I replaced mine with a $350 delphi, I didn't hear it either, unlike my old one that always made a high pitch whine. When you say it takes longer than normal to start, how much longer?

Delco/delphi or Denso...only pumps worth your money.

Did you change your fuel filter? Sounds like you may have a priming problem & a clogged filter won't help.

The new pump is a Delphi because of the good things I read about them. Fuel filter replaced as well.

Correction, pump was purchased at Carquest, not NAPA.
