i picked up an airtex fuel pump from autozone but i told them from a 1.6 when i have a 1.5. didnt think it mattered if the fpr is there. put it on and it didnt want to start. the pump was hardly pumping anything. so i figured it was faulty and got another 1.6 pump. i have not put new one on yet and 1.6 because going to swap next month. could the voltage provided to the pump be a set voltage for a 1.5L pump and was not enough for the 1.6 pump or was it faulty? the lines were not plugged.

 

Sounds like you have other issues. How much voltage do you have coming to the pump?

 

I didn't check the old pump worked fine. After diagnosing the new pump faulty. I put the old pump back in and drove to autozone. For another new pump.

 

There is no real difference between the 1.5 and 1.6 fuel pump.

Get rid of the airtex.i work for oreilly and have had numerous complaints about the airtex fuel pumps going bad. We switched to precision and import direct because of this. If you want a performance fuel pump I went with a walhboro.

 

Thanks for the heads up.Walhboro 190 or 255 for na ground up build with reground cam and a bump in compression by way of thinner head gasket. With dreams of hondata.
