Z died on me :( Fuel pump?
I've been hearing a faint high pitched whine coming from the passenger side for the past week and just yesterday the car would crank but bog violently and shut down upon ignition. My guess is that the fuel pump is done. Not only the noise was coming from that general direction, I do not hear the fuel pump engaging before the engine fires.
Anyone know why/how the fuel pump would fail? I have around 65k on the odometer. In addition, anyone know the estimate on this repair? |
If you do not hear it priming when turning on the ignition then that's a dead giveaway. It's probably gonna be around $500-600 from an independent shop. Most pumps are on top of the tank so you have to drop the tank down and pull the old pump out to install the new one.

A whine from the passenger footwell area is probably the ECM. The fuel pump is located behind the seats. See FSM (link in my sig) for location details.
If no fuel pump whine when you try to start, I'd first check the fuse(s) (see Owner's Manual or FSM for location). |

Fuel pump should is a reasonably easy to replace. I would pick up an OE replacement and have an indie mechanic fix it for you if the stealership wants blood in exchange... or DIY =)

Can be done in about 1 hour by yourself. Did mine with the instruction from CJ Motorsports http://host.cj-motorsports.com/pdf/3...ump%20Tech.pdf |

IIRC, there is a relay to supply power to the pump. This would be another easy/cheap check before deciding to replace the pump.

Actually, I might just do this myself. Do you guys recommend Walbro? And is it really necessary to change the pump with 1/8 tank of gas? I have about 2/3 of fuel left in the tank.
Thanks |

I wonder if the top hat just broke like has happened to many others recently. IF so, Phunk (CJM motorsports) can fix you up.

I think you're better off with an OEM or OEM equivalent pump. It's a pretty simple DIY though, so I say go for it! =) |

Check out the cj Motorsports site there are some guides... You can also post on his threads here (user phunk) he is the resident fuel system guru for the community and is very helpful. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk |
