Fuel Pump Questions
 
I am getting ready to do a big tune up on my 04 GT MT, coils, plugs, wires, upgraded starter, decat and a few other things. I was debating possibly installing a new fuel pump. It's the original one in there and I've suspected it might have a dirty filter in there or could be failing. The car has 90k+ on it and I am willing to just get a new one if needed. My question is which one to get? I'm looking at one on Amazon, it's an Airtex E8592M model. It seems to be an exact match to the oem version. I also am looking at the BHR Walbro pump which is cheaper. Not entirely sure on the differences on them. I've searched the forums a little and have found mixed opinions on which works best so I am looking for some direction here. I also noticed some of them require some modification for proper install which I would like to stay away from, at least for now. I'd like something I can just install normally if possible. Any help would be great thank you.

The airtex is a full pump and assembly which I recommend with that mileage. You don't need a Walbro and that is just the pump only.

use the discount code HUGE50 for $50.00 off.


or you can use Amazon or rockauto.com for around the same price.

Advance (if you have it) will also allow you to return online items to the store which is kind of handy if you ever need too or of the your need to take a core.

Hey thanks for the response, I did look at the Advanced Auto one first but I noticed Amazon has the exact same one for much cheaper.
Do you recommend getting the Advanced one anyways or should I just grab this Amazon one?

Nah get it on prime, less hassle.

Idk if this is too late or not, but I'd avoid the airtex assembly. I got mine from rockauto, and there was apparently a manufacturers defect with the SI pumps. If you search my recent threads, theres some photos I put up with the airtex pump next to my OEM. Advance might not have gotten a bad batch, but something to think about if you havent gotten it yet.
