bhermes Posted August 8, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2015 Ok, after 3 years chasing my stalling issue, I am back to my initial assumption. I has always suspected the rust and condition of my fuel tank was the issue. I attempted to clean and coat the tank myself but the tank is in bad shape. I am going to have someone look at the tank one last time but then looking for a replacement. If anyone has one please let me know. Has anyone had an issue with hydro-locking? Or maybe just rust clogging fuel pump. Also it appears that one of my injectors is bad. Is there anything I should know when getting a new one. Thanks.

siteunseen Posted August 8, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2015 Did you ever put a clear fuel filter between the tank and fuel pump? It would get full of crud quick and you could see what it looks like. You could have a clogged port somewhere or the liner didnt cure and is stopping something up. A good injector IMHO is the Standard FJ 707T. I put six on my car for cheaper than cleaning the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhermes Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted August 8, 2015 Yes. Had some trouble with fuel line kinking and removed. The tank is leaking so it needs to be dropped and repaired and replaced regardless. I will then put back in the filter. Thanks for the advice on the injector. How about a replacement tank. Anything cleaver or am I stuck with refurbished tank at 330 plus 270 core charge. Don't know if the will except mine as a reasonable core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhermes Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted August 9, 2015 Thanks. After looking at my tank I don't think it is too bad. Going to have a friend look at who used to work for a radiator shop that repaired them. I am now going to remove fuel pump at see what it looks like. Replaced once but prior to the last time I.cleaned and coated tank. I have messaged on a couple replacement tanks just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhermes Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted August 9, 2015 Fuel pump out. A couple questions. Is there a mesh on inlet. I don't see one. Do I have to remove something to get to it. Secondly and maybe a dumb question but is there a way to tell if the pump is original. It was supposed to have been replaced but I am questioning if it actually was. Thanks.

bhermes Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted August 10, 2015 I have attached some photos. Filter screen? Is this the stock pump. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted August 10, 2015 Share #12 Posted August 10, 2015 Nope. Looks like the one Autozone has. When I bought my Bosch a few years ago they were getting scarce. It was around $250 then. I just saw a new Nissan one on ebay for $260. Here's the one off atlanticz And the inlet screen filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
