Is This A Fuel Pump Problem?

[StOjA32]

Hey guys ive been having this problem latley on my 32t. I think its a fuelpump issue but not really sure. could you throw a few ideas this way as to what it could be...

When i get a little heavy footed on the excellerator the car kinda has a little touble. it doesnt produce a smooth increase in power. kinda jidders n doesnt really want to move especially at higher revs. it feels as though not enough fuel is getting through or maybe no sparke or something. My injectors where cleand n flushed about 10,000kms ago and the spark plug were changed at that time to ..

car is totally stock at the moment...

i do have a bosch 023 fuel pump just havnt installed it yet... is installing one of these pumps something that i could do or does it require some sort of modification??

thanks for you help!

Anyone??...

do you know what the plug gaps were set to...

sounds like a common misfire...

most intank fuel pump swaps are super easy to do yourself..

good luck mate

If they were copper/nickle spark plugs that you put in 10,000 kms ago, there time is probably up.

Probably need some new spark plugs.

Dont know what the plug gaps were..

they are platnum plugs..

ill try change the fuel pump n see what happens

try NGK BKR7E spark plugs and installing the bosch pump. you should have no troubles after.

Check for leaks in intake/ cooler set-up.

If you haven't changed your fuel filter for a while. Try changing it as well.
