Could have been a bad plug. If it's runin fine then excuse my ignorance.

Then again, if the fuel pump is runin short you would get a tick as the cylinder would be firing short of fuel.

 

That makes sense hydra. i'm gonna go on that. I mean my durango is just shy of 80,000 miles(i've seen all of her miles). I dont abuse her and i keep up with the basic maintainance (oil change air filter etc.)

anybody know of a good fuel pump? I'm having troubles finding some. all i'm really finding is airtex or some crap. I was hoping to get maybe an ac delco. but cant find one in stores or online.

I've also heard delphi is a good brand.

 

check out rockauto, they have delphi pumps, for like $200 tho . . .

also check napa
part # DFP FG0238 they want 270 for it . . .

 

Thanks sharp, I can find delphi brand pumps but i was hoping to get an ac delco.

I'll stop in to some places and see if they can find an ac delco pump. havent exactly asked just checked prices a while back. that delphi pump i can get in stores at around 270 like you found at napa. it saves me the whole shipping thing to deal with. that and i was never a fan on buying things online.

in store when they show you the part if its not what i was expecting i can just not buy the part with online things you have to send it back if its wrong. never a fan of buying something without knowing exactly what it is.

 

i dont blame you, im not a huge fan of buying online either, but sometimes its just the way you have to go

 

That is true. I mean i've bought from summit racing and ebay before and both items were right but still i try to avoid it as much as possible. hopefully in the next few weeks i can get my hands on a fuel pump.

Most likely will be a delphi pump if i cant find an ac delco.

 

How adventurous are you? Instead of getting a replacement fuel pump, have you considered getting a refurbishment kit? You take your old pump apart and replace all the parts that wear out. You end up with a like-new fuel pump at a fraction of the price of buying one. And in the process you get a better understanding of how your car works.

 

I would try somethin like that but I'm not gonna lie i'm not real experienced with all this auto mechanic stuff. still new to it. plus i don't have any help or the right space to try it at home. or else I'd love to swap out fuel pumps myself. would save me a lot of money.

 

You should not need more than a few basic tools. If you don't have a garage or a covered space, getting that pump out will be difficult in this weather, but once the pump is out, you can take it apart on your kitchen table. Thanks to the internet, you probably could get step by step instructions.

You'll only learn by doing and I suspect that many members here have spent a lot of time cleaning grease from their fingernails. Plus the satisfaction you'll get when it starts up is PRICELESS!

 

That is true. Well I'll look into it. see if i can find a rebuild kit and how much it costs. I think only the anti drain back valve is bad. so if i do decide to try that rebuild than i'll try and fix that first.

Is this what you did MN dee dee? do a rebuild on your fuel pump or just something you've heard about? maybe did this on a different part?

I don't suppose you can put an aftermarket drain back valve on the fuel line some how?
