Hi I have a dead 93 wrx (grey). I think it is the fuel pump but only just realised where to find it - by searching this site. It was an intermittent prob before it died - so may be connection??? If i need a new unit can anyone advise where to get one?

Cheers

 

i have one you can have for £20

 

sounds good - how do i know that the problem is the pump? Can I tell by listening for a noise when turning over the engine?

and are there different models of pump - are you sure yours will fit?

Cheers

When you turn the ignition on, you will / should hear a faint buzzing noise which lasts a couple of seconds, this is your fuel pump priming.

A friend installed a Walboro uprated pump in his sti5, somehow there was a dodgy connection which meant the pump kept switching itself off, sometimes his car wouldnt start at all.

 

well i turned the ignition on and off a few times with my head in the boot. The first couple of times i heard a bubbly noise and then just a sort of dentist drill whizzing. Then she started up just fine. I reckon there must have been an air lock or something. The thing is this has happened a few times now - so maybe i have an air leak somewhere - is this possible?

 

If sometimes it's not working when you turn the ignition on, you've probably got a loose connection, well worth pulling the whole thing out and checking everything, it doesnt take long, probably about 20 mins tops if you're ok with spanners etc.

 

thanks for the tip i will pull it out and have a look. The fuel gague sometimes goes a bit wierd - could this be linked to the problem?
