Personally i wouldn't trust a pump like that...

You know it's not 100% even if it may sound like it's working and act all fine, it still could be damaged inside and not be able to pump all the fuel that it used to...

It's not something worth gambling with y'know.

People are mentioning pumps to me, but not giving me prices or how could get em off them if willing to sell em.

And having my car out of action is beginning to frustrate me.

The pump sounds like it is working, but didn't end up getting the car to start properly. I need to try turning the pump on with just a spare bitta pipe to see if it is pumping the fuel or not.

If necessary I'll fork out for the new walbro pump kit from Trojan, but thats $230 that I really can't afford to be spending, but will cos I want my baby up and going again.

Get back to me asap guys, getting tired, stressed and frustrated.

I haven't put a price on mine as it's still in Sydney and I don't even know if it's out of the car yet. Want to lay eyes on it before I say it's for sale and of course make sure its ok.

Sounds like you are after a quicker solution than mine anyway. Mine won't be home till early Dec at best.

Yeah I kinda knew to half expect this, my large issue is it's the only car I have. The lucky bit is it's summer and i can take my motorbike.

I'll just keep working on bits and dealing with them 1 at a time..

I'll let you know if still need info on yours Kat, but there was a couple of other offers, so guess will see what they say to me, else I'll fork over the $230 to Trojan and buy a new one from them - presuming can't get all working right with the old one.

The stock one aint a walbro. walbro aint japanese :D The stock one is a japanese nissan made one.

I'd be happy to check that one off ya Troy, any chance u can spin past mitchell sometime? Thing is I still dunno if mine has issues or not, cos it sounded like was working fine, I just gotta test it in the fuel.. it sounds like is pumping fine... just atm I hadn't got the car to start when first put it back in, and it def is submerged in the fuel... I'll give it a try tonight, and if still nothing, I'll take it out again and see that actually is pumping or wtf is up *sighs* don't want to buy or try a different pump if that aint the issue.

Nah sorry I meant I assumed I had a stock pump, and it turned out to be some Walbro thingy.

Mine's just sitting there doing nothing....but at this stage I doubt I'd be able to shoot out to Mitchell again...already done it twice in the past week, which is twice more than I'd like to lol...

I might swing out there after work on Friday though, but only because I usually find my way out civic direction that time anyway. Otherwise, no sooner than that sorry. At least that gives you some time to work out what your pump is doing.

Walbro is around $130 from ebay. I had mine delivered in 3 days.

If the pump sounds like it is working, then you probably don't need a new pump. If you really think it's a fueling issue, take the fuel line off at the engine and stick it into a bottle. Turn the ignition on but don't start it, see if fuel is being delivered.

You only need a small amount of fuel to get it started.

AutoPro and Repco can also order in Walbro and Bosch pumps. I bought my Bosch 040 pump from AutoPro for $205, 2 years ago.

Pretty pos is right way, cos the pipes only reach so far, so can only go in one place.

I was gonna take it off engine side to test, but the hose is a bit heat damaged, I need to replace it in general, but it'll not need to be replaced today unless I take it off, but prob gonna have to take it off.

I'll double check feed and return, and that all pipes are connected correctly where they are meant to be, and see if get pressure.

Troy I can ride my motorbike out your way more to meet you if need it earlier than Fri, else can meet you here in mitchell or maybe Civic.

Thanks heaps for help guys, just gotta work out exactly what the prob is then follow that up with one of the solutions.

Oddly Autobarn cannot order the pump in I needed, but at least the other places can if necessary.

I attached the connector back as it was. It only goes on one way. The thought crossed my mind, but it's a plug, and only goes on one way...

Thank you for checking my stupidity level though. If I had done that, my head would have a long visit with a brick wall in the near future.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
