What causes a new fuel pump to not work?
Since modern pumps are mostly electric, broken wires can cause the fuel pump to stop functioning. In most cars, the fuel pump is turned on by a fuel pump relay. If the relay goes bad, it will not induce the pump to start functioning. A bad fuel pump relay often causes the engine to crank but prevents it from starting.
Why am I not getting fuel to my fuel pump?
These include a bad fuel pump relay or control module, a blown fuse, a wiring fault, loose or corroded wiring connector at the pump, or even an issue with the anti-theft system. These include a plugged fuel filter, pinched fuel line or a bad fuel-pressure regulator.
How long does it take for a new fuel pump to work?
The labor to replace the in tank fuel pump and the inline fuel filter that should be replaced with the fuel pump will take 4 to 5 hours labor. When fuel pumps are not replaced properly, the whole system is damaged.
How do I know if my fuel pump is going out?
Seven Signs Your Fuel Pump Is Going Out
- Sputtering Engine. Your fuel pump is telling you something if your engine starts to sputter once you’ve hit the top speed on the highway.
- Overheating Engine.
- Low Fuel Pressure.
- Power Loss.
- Surging Engine.
- Gas Mileage Decrease.
- Dead Engine.
What to do if your fuel pump is not turning on?
Look into your engine’s compartment in the power center to locate your car’s fuel pump. Remove its relay and give it a good shake. If you feel something rattling inside, then chances are that the relay has broken and you will need to replace it.
Why is the fuel pump relay not closing?
If jumping the fuel pump relay makes the pump run, and if the relay tests good. Then you need to determine why the ECM is not telling the relay to close. Start by testing continuity back to the ECM. Here is the electrical diagram for the 01 Tib Fuel Pump Relay
Why does my fuel pump not prime with the key on?
Fuel pump doesn’t prime with key on. I’ve been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. My 01 Tiburon wouldn’t start the other day. It would crank, but wouldn’t fire. When I turn the key to the “on” position, the fuel pump doesn’t kick on.
How does a fuel pump work in a car?
Updated: January 16, 2017. A vehicle engine system requires continuous fuel supply that is produced through the car’s fuel tank. A fuel pump is required to draw fuel from the fuel tank and propel it into the car’s internal combustion engine.
Why does my fuel pump not prime when I turn it on?
Pulled fuel pump relay and put in a jumper wire to run the fuel pump and it started. Put the fuel pump relay back in and it starts and drives, but the fuel pump still doesn’t prime when turning the key on. I’m afraid that after sitting overnight, it will once again refuse to start.

Do you need to replace fuel filter when replacing fuel pump?
The fuel level sensor is a separate component attached to the fuel pump. This part does not always come with the fuel pump and sometimes is not interchangeable with aftermarket fuel pumps. Chevrolets have a common issue with fuel filters getting clogged. You always want to replace the fuel filter when replacing the fuel pump.
Where does the fuel pump get its energy from?
The fuel pumps of most vehicles receive their energy via a relay by the powertrain control module (PCM). When you turn on the ignition, the PCM gives energy to the fuel pump relay for a few seconds, so that the pump can run to build pressure.
