FYI for cars with the original pump.
Inside the pump, there is a disk that spin's and has 5 small movable blades. As the pump spins this disk in a oblong hole, these blades slide out to pump the fuel. When I took the pump apart, these disks fell out. with the exception of one. I really pushed to get it out and it finally did. now it moves freely. My pump now no longer suffers from the stumbling from time to time. I believe that this frozen blade was the culprit.
It now has a strong flow. |

Well,
While I was installing my replacment, I noticed a ground wire BEHIND the mounting braket on the frame. I grabbed the old pump and connected it and it started. It is pumping better then it ever has. I will be replacing it however at my 30K

Fuse box or relay problem is my guess. |

Sounds like the case is misaligned and the armature is binding. |

I checked with a volt meter and there is power to the connector for the pump. |

it does not have the switch. It was cutting out from time to time under load. The pump is not getting power. |

Acting up as How?
Does your car have a fuel pump disable under the drivers seat bypassed that might have a bad connection?

My fuel pump has been acting up. I took it off to clean it and when I hooked it back up, nothing. I checked the fuses and it looks ok.
Help! |
