This forum is for "fuel systems", which means, ANY COMPONENT THAT THE FUEL COMES IN CONTACT WITH.
 
This would include injectors, injector rail, fuel pump, fuel relays, filters, gas tank, filling spouts, and the fuel itself or its additives.
 
This forum is generally NOT for engine management systems, air filters, throttle bodies, sensors, etc., which should go in "Technical Questions" or in the forum for your particular car.

#2 of 191 Is the 1993 GMC Jimmy SLE Fuel Injection Defected??? by cheri05

May 18, 2005 (11:44 am)

Hello,
I have had the fuel injection replaced 3 times in the last 3 years.
The last one was only 60 miles ago and needs replacement again.
Could this be a factory defect on the Jimmy or could it be a parts defect???
I am desperate for answers, does anyone know where I can go for some Honest answers?
Thank You

Hi,
 
I have a 95 toyota pickup 5 speed 2.4 liter engine. I know my problem but need to know how to fix it. The problem is I have a bad fuel pump that is inside the fuel tank. What I need to know is how do I replace it? Thanks

Go to your favorite auto parts store and buy an after market electric fuel pump.
 
Install it inline to your fuel line. You need to check to make sure fuel will still pass through the old pump first.
I have done this more than once with great results.

Not sure what you mean by replacing the fuel injection. The injection system is comprised of many components.

Question: How can you have bled the lines when there is no fuel going to the injectors?

I'm not familiar with this engine so....is this a mechanical pump? If so, what feeds it---a rear electric pump? If so, have you check for fuel going into your injection pump and all filters, etc.?
 
I know this sounds obvious but I'm trying to check your work here.

Can the elements of fuel pumps be interchanged with two different Make. What are the possible problems that may occur if you do that?
