state police behind me and got towed, yay love fuel starve!

houkouonchi · 05-11-2012, 02:28 AM

2010 here. I have had the fuel starvation issue twice (once on the track once off). It surprised me on the one off the track but when it happened to me I lost power for about 10 seconds or so until the engine picked up again so I didn't let the car come to a complete stop and wasn't a huge inconvenience both times. I didn't think i was low enough for it to happen in both situations though.

Per Nissan FAST...
Nissan added a bracket to the fuel pump assy from SEP 10 to present. Anybody w/a '11 or '12 get fuel starvation?
17045-1EA0A: bracket-pump, in tank

USDM/CANDM pump assy part numbers:
17040-1EA0A: '09-'10 fuel pump assy
17040-1EA0B: '11-'?? fuel pump assy

If pump *fails* Nissan supersedes to part number below (this part number is the JDM/EDM fuel pump part number):
17040-1EK0B: '11-'?? fuel pump assy

BTW-that schematic in post #70 of the fuel tank is basic, its not a true representation of the '09-'10 or '11+ fuel tank schematic that's in FAST.

Maybe you are onto something, worth digging into it. Let me do some searches, thanks man.

Anyway can get a picture of the bracket or the new pump?

The new fuel pump is $300 dollars. Anyone wanna chip in to compare the new and the old one....

It looks like 1EA0A is no longer available and only 1EK0B is available. The B means is a revision, perhaps Nissan modified it slightly?

Btw rep for you for big news!

2011 drove my car hard as hell today.. VDC off... half a tank. No fuel starve. Do you think fuel starve is remedied on 11 and 12 models?

darkearth · 05-12-2012, 02:54 AM

None here as well '12

darkearth · 05-12-2012, 02:55 AM

^^granted I just got my car

scionide · 05-12-2012, 04:39 AM

Driven on low gas plenty o times, and cornered hard, never had fuel starve issues.

Seems the '11-'12's may truly have had the issue fixed?

Deadman · 05-12-2012, 06:47 AM

Took long right turn @ 50mph with 3 dots the other day getting on hwy , no fuel cut

I had the car for 6 months and had times run it down to zero before it happened to me, on the street you need the perfect combination of conditions. It is possible that a change was made for '11, but I'm guessing it was just a better bracket as some of us have broken the fuel pump off its bracket.

I have a 2011,, I still get fuel starvation in hard rights with 3/4 a tank. Now I am not sure what pump assy I have. I bought my Z in December of 2010.
