Car Fuel Pump Purpose:

The electronic fuel pump is the heart of the electronic fuel injection system in your vehicle. This critical part of the fuel injection system is responsible for pushing fuel from the tank, into the fuel injectors and to create sufficient pressure so the fuel injectors will deliver the correct amount of fuel under all operation conditions. The pressure developed by the pump, as well as the volume of fuel it flows, must meet the vehicle manufacturers’ requirements. If not, engine performance, economy and emissions will suffer. After years of running constantly, fuel pumps will fail and will need to be replaced.

Car Fuel Pump Common Problems:

Fuel pumps run at all times, so after years of service they will experience wear in the armature bushings, brushes and commutator. Pump vanes, rollers or gears can also wear causing a gradual loss of pressure and flow. A weak fuel pump or one that can’t generate enough pressure can upset the calibration of your fuel system. This may cause the engine to run, lean or starve for fuel under load. This can cause symptoms such as hard starting (hot or cold), poor idle quality, hesitation or stumbling when accelerating and a loss of high-speed power.

Accelerated wear may also occur if sediment or rust gets past the inlet filter sock. The fuel pump will become jammed, causing the motor to overheat and burn out.

Also, your fuel pump relies on fuel passing through it for lubrication and cooling. Consequently, fuel starvation can be another factor that accelerates wear and may even cause pump damage under certain operating conditions.

If problems go unchecked for long enough, they will cause more damage to the engine, costing much more money to fix or replace.
