I'm telling you rock auto is way cheaper! Same stuff... more selection on brands.

 

Somebody straighten me out here if I'm wrong. The pump basically works against a pressure relief valve to pump fuel in a loop. The pump side of the loop may be say 29Lbs, held there by the spring in the relief valve. Then the fuel flows freely back to the tank. On that pressure side some goes through the injectors to your engine.

If the filter is clogging, the pump has to work it's *** off to get the fuel through the filter. Might maybe make more noise like that, and cause the rig to run funky.

If you put a tire pressure gauge on the Shrader valve on your fuel manifold, you might get one reading before the gas eats the inside of the gauge. Might be better to find access to the right gauge. I don't know the pressure.

 

Fair enough. I'll be sure to check and probably change the filter before I invest in a new pump. I'm sure all that muddy water I went through had to have done something, heh.

I'll definitely check out Rock Auto. Is that the kind of pump I need to look for though?

 

True true...... yes. Rock auto stocks different brands of the correct pump. Enter year make and model and your options will appear. All stock specs. I hot a tps there for 30$ shipped. Works beautifully

 

Hey, Slick 761, where are you? I'm Crescent City usually but down by Santa Rosa now.

Right on.... I'm hittin the hay. Early appointment.... p.m. me tomorrow

 

10-4, will do, same to you.

 

So I'm going to try and replace the filter some time this week. I'm still getting a hissing noise when I start up in the back. When I remove the gas cap it sounds like pressure was built up. I'm just trying to figure out if I'll be fine driving this until I figure it out.

 

You will be fine till it goes out. Mine started to die intermittently like it would die and eventually start back up. Then it finally crapped out completely.

 

Alright guys, so I was on my way to class last night, and my Jeep wouldn't start. It was trying to start but just wouldn't. I replaced the fuel filter and the relay, and turned it on, started right up. Then it started to have the same issue as before, trying to start but not. Now in order for it to start and run, I have to pump my accelerator before and sometimes during when I turn the key.


Sign of needing a new pump?
