Please tell the the pump check valve is in the pump 92 CPI

Post by pur3vil »

As the title says... I'm assuming the check valve is in the pump... Do I assume correctly or am I screwed?

I've got the new pump, strainer, filter, and hanger harness ready to be installed... but I don't want to pay my mechanic 2x to do the job if the check valve still fails to operate.

Referencing to this thread... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6315 Mine is doing the same exact thing. So therefore I'm assuming the above parts will recify my situation.
91 6000 LE 3.1 - 186k
92 Ext. AWD CPI -399k+, Needs Fuel Pump
97 Grand Prix GT - 166k
03 Sebring LX 2.4 - 98k, Needs head and timing set :(
87 Conquest LE - 110k, 5sp, I/C'd, TD05-14g@24psi, JVE Elim, Full 3", 88 LSD Swap, 89 ECU, 1g MAS.
89 Conquest TSi - The last one... of the 14 I've owned... being used to rebuild the single owned 87.

Your being a 92, you can change just the pump itself. Not sure if the check valve is in the pump or not. I would expect the new pump would prime very quickly to allow the van to start properly.

2008 Dodge Nitro 4x4
2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8S Special Edition

If the pump is not running that is one thing.

But if you have a VIN Z van, I would expect the fuel pressure to drop to 0 after the van is off for a very short time. This is how TBI normally functions. It does not hold fuel pressure like the VIN W engines do.


Whoops! Missed the CPI in your title. Never mind.

I just did a search and on the automotive forum.They said the check valve in the pump.And that would cause the pump to not build pressure properly for a cold start.Once it running it was fine.But it could not get the 65 lbs for a start.
