4A-Fc Fuel Pump (Mechanical) Info? 1994 Carb

[no eye deer]

Hey fellas,

 

I have a 1994 Corolla ae93 with the carby motor. My fuel pump is leaking oil. Yes - oil:). Does anyone know if they are "rebuildable"? If not (which I expect) , can anyone tell me where I might get one? I have looked on Ebay, but nothing. Are secondhand ones any good?

I havent pulled the pump as yet, so don't know where the oils coming from. Apparently its pretty common?

 

Thanks fellas

Can get new ones from Autobahn/Repco/Supercheap. They're about $90 from memory.

Is it just the gasket/insulator that is leaking? You can probably get that individual part from Toyota: http://www.toyodiy.c...AEMRU_2301.html

From my own personal experience with A-series engine mechanical fuel pumps, don't waste your time with second-hand. Buy a new one if it is not just the gasket that is leaking oil. Most auto-parts stores will have one or be able to order one in. :y:

 

Edit: It may pay to check exactly where the leak is coming from, save yourself some headaches & grief!

Yeah, I've been thinking about it. I will take it off, and see where its leaking from. I thought it might have a pin running through it, like olden day fuel pumps. But I don't think it does.

 

Thanks fellas

it will be leaking oil out of the bottom of the pump, when you remove the pump, turn it upside down and you will see two breather holes that the oil was leaking from.

 

had this happen on my old 4afc. replace the fuel pump, its the only way to fix it.

OK Thanks Mystic,

Yeah, the oil seems to be leaking from above the gasket/seal thingy. I havent looked yet, but thats where its coming from.

 

 

I guess need to pull it off to check it :)

Can ya fit an electric fuel pump to these engines? I don't mean EFI pump. Is it possible to block off the fuel pump hole with a blanking plate? The mechanical pump has 3 hoses coming out of it . Plus fuel lines.

You can, but you'd have to include an electrical circuit with relay/fuses etc to not only run the pump, but to turn it off in the event of an accident for instance. May also need to fart about with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to get things right. I myself wouldn't & didn't bother, not when a new one for a 2A/4A-C cost me $72 from Repco not long ago.

 

Got a photo of said fuel pump?
