fuel pump module question

[jas98]

hi. question about the actual fuel pump module..is there any valves or anything that can stuff up on them beside the pump and hoses? [or is it just a plastic module?

 

reason I ask is. I got a fairly cheap fuel pump and module awhile back for a ba xr6t sedan and installed it. car ran betterbthen ever. however lately its had a very long crank like its lost fuel pressure but only does its randomly like 70% of the time. so fuel pump is the last thing it could be. 

 

so yeah ordered  a new pump but have to install it in module. and wanted to find out if the moduel has any sort of valve that could I <3 Bananas up in it.

There's a sock filter and a pipe that can get kinked, but that's it.

thanks. decided to pull out the oump and module and re install the original and seems to start first kick now..will know tommorow.

 

 

what I did find was the pipe going from pump to top of module was a very lose fit and I just pulled pipe off with ease so im guessing its jut a bad fitting pipe causeing pressure drop as if I remeber these pipes are  a one use only and your supposed to cut them off if u need to replace?

 

. either way I have a new pump comming with new hose. simple fix if its just this

 

 

thanks

Yep, a loose fitting would cause a pressure drop. It's a good idea to replace the hose each time you replace the pump (just once, normally).
