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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
