Rig: 1978 FJ40
Not sure if my fuel pump is the cause of some recent issues but please tell me what you think. Starting last week while shifting into 3rd gear the engine lost power momentarily then regained power. None of the gauges flat lined so power was fine.
Then today the engine died on me 7 times while heading home. Each time I had to wait about 10 minutes before the engine would fire back up. Finally got it home and I'm trying to figure out what is causing this issue. Just driving along and the engine completely dies. Again..the gauges do not flat line. The engine simply dies.
I think it's time to replace my fuel pump regardless and here is a picture of the current fuel pump installed by the PO. Can anyone tell me the advantaged of a mechanical vs an electric or vice versa? I'm looking to replace mine with an OEM fuel pump. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
