fuel pump!!! help please!!!!

[dyla]

I have issues lol.
Went to the petrol station, turned the car off, went to turn back on and no noise from the fuel pump.
It has been making a ticking sound since i bought the car and have been advised that its most likely knackered.
Its a 1989 with a 1293 in it, and has an in line electronic fuel pump on the subframe. Ihave looked at a possible replacement but need some advice please!!!

Would this be suitable?
Any help grately appreciated

Inline "facet" fuel pumps do click all the time. U need to check you have a supply to the pump, it SHOULD have a fuse in the wire to the pump and this could have blown. If it has blown it could mean the pump is knackered but this is where i would start looking.

the ebay item is the correct thing if u do need a new 1 but i would do a few simple checks with a test light first

Hope this helps

can often tap them to get them temp going again, but if so is the beginin of the end for it.

its a little gold facet pump.
well the good news is that i checked the supply and it hasnt got one!
after thinking back to when i bought the car i checked the the ignition barrel and a wire has come of the back of it. its temporarily soldered in place but its nackered so i need to source a new one, but both minisport and minispares cant get them till mid jan.
if anyone has one that i may purchase from them i will come and collect.
thanks for all the help guys
