My original fuel pump died on me after 137k miles of service and I replaced it with a ebay pump that worked for about 15 miles and died on me. I figured it was a quality issue so I bought a walbro pump and it crapped out on me after about 100 miles (driving to reset computer). What can cause a pump to fail so quickly? I'm going to drop the tank and clean it, but is there anything else that can cause this?

 

soooo what yr and model car we talkin about. did u notice any crud on the pickup when u changed the last pump? did u change the fuel filter?

 

Alright it was a false alarm. I was getting impatient and put the fuel pump wires in the opposite connectors. I just need to do a good soldering job on a wire in the pump, and then I should be good to go.
