Re: civic fuel pump help needed
it doesnt even have a low fuel light..i dont care what mr. tegger thinks.
something is wrong with the car i can't figure it out but i may have it
checked by a mechanic before i decide to part it out. it was a faithful car
and i got my moneys worth out of it. i'm buying another honda hopefully.

Why don't you explain how you align the timing marks when you put in the timing belt?

Technically yes. But should you go uphill, downhill, go over railroad
tracks, swerve around the town drunk, the pump may momentarily run dry, and
thus induce stress upon itself.

Strangely, when the low light comes on I tend to go uphill, downhill, go over
railroad tracks, swerve around the town drunk, waiting for the dooms day
but it hasn't come. Many people who have a failed pump don't open them
to see whether the brushes or the impeller is the problem. Pumps are sealed.
My best guess is that the gas gets more concentrated of the "bad stuff" when it
runs low. The concentration eats up the brushes at a faster rate. My tank is
super clean and rust free, therefore no problems.

Strangely, when the low light comes on I tend to go uphill, downhill, go over
railroad tracks, swerve around the town drunk, waiting for the dooms day
but it hasn't come. Many people who have a failed pump don't open them
to see whether the brushes or the impeller is the problem. Pumps are sealed.
My best guess is that the gas gets more concentrated of the "bad stuff" when it
runs low. The concentration eats up the brushes at a faster rate. My tank is
super clean and rust free, therefore no problems.
