    Fuel pump replacement w/pics

    It took most of the afternoon, but I was able to get my fuel pump replaced with a new Walbro 255 lph part for $99. Contrary to the belief that you COULD chop a hole on the floor to access the pump in the future, I decided not to after witnessing the extensive mounting flange and fuel hard lines attached to it.

    I concluded that the old pump was due for replacement after running a pressure test. It test at 35 psi at the rail, and the manual says it should be 40-47 psi at the rail. Also the plugs were burning white (lean) so I knew that was the cause of this issue. And the cause of the delayed starting and occasional stalling at low rpms. Plus, with 295,xxx on the clock I knew the pump was old and tired.





    old compared to the new

    i have an injector hanging open so it's time to Seafoam

        Ya dropping it isn't too bad, just make sure it's near empty and use the drain plug... the less weight the better. I don't see how it would even be possible to do this from the top, there is just not enough room and the pump access hole would fall right where the back seat hinge is.
