i just found out that the reason my car wasn't starting.......it wasn't getting fuel. so i was wondering how much a shop would charge to do a job like this, and how much in parts, and what parts i need........any help would be appreciated. thanks

 

replacement probably takes about 1 hour or so...(the "or so" is if they have to struggle to get the stubborn fuel lines back on ) truthfully its a very easy job, you could probably do it yourself if comfortable.

Wanna buy a fuel pump?

 

My fuel pump quit last year and after some research here and on other boards I found the Walbro aftermarket kits. It is an easy 1 hour job.

You pull the fuel pump fuse and start the car to drain off any fuel pressure, remove the bottom rear seat and take the fuel pump out from the top of the fuel tank. Remove old pump from the bracket, assemble the Walbro parts and reinstall.

Dealer wanted $450, did it myself for right at $100.

Here's a link to the parts involved:

wow, thanks guys, i'll probably do it myself then, are there any tricky parts that might give me a real problem though??

 

yeah getting the fuel lines off the sender

 

alright, maybe i'll wait till next weekend then, one of my brothers friends is a mechanic, he'll probably feel a little more comfortable than me doing this.

 

but that walbro aftermarket kit will work though, right??

 

Most aftermarket companies will make a fuel that meets the requirements of the stock motor. If you want to go above that then you will need to know much more

 

well, how do i find out much more, and what benefits and disadvantages will i have using certain pumps and stuff??

 

and yes, i will be needing to buy a fuel pump

 

Walbro has about 3 pumps listed for our cars. a high volume low pressure, a high pressure low volume, and a high pressure high volume.

Go with the "low pressure high volume" pump. unless you're planning NOS or turbo, then you don't need the high pressure one. the high volume, low pressure one will work GREAT on your car.

 

thanks, i'll take a look see

 

the ebay link is to a high pressure pump, will the low pressure high volume pump be less expensive, and where should i look to get one?

 

autoperformanceengineering.com ....they sell the Walbro low pressure replacement for $80 or 90 I think

 

thanks for the help, i'll let you know how it turns out for me.

 

so you would recommend the 190 ltr/hr pump kit for 85??

 

yup, FPN007

 

yeah, thanks, i'll probably order it tonight then

 

me too, thanks

 

Hey guys...I bought the Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump, I was wondering if I need a new fuel pressure regulator or if the stock one will work. I will be running a 55-65 shot from a Zex Kit.
