help asap
Hi guys & girls,
Went to start my car the other night & wouldnt fire... got the nrma out & said the the fuel pump is gone. its a holden 5litre v8 & was wondering if any pumps off any of the commodores will fit it.
cheers garth
do v8's have two fuel pumps. if so, it is a bit strange that both are buggered. could be something else. maybe there is no power getting to the pumps
crappy ol' VN driver
yeah, the V8 have the intank pump as well as an external booster pump. i'd go with defa, not likely both have failed. check fuses and relays etc

It wont run on one pump, if the intank dies the lift pump cant pull fuel. If the lift dies it blocks the flow from the intank. They both go around the same time normallyOriginally Posted by immortality
My intank went, they around 2 weeks later the lift one went. The intank is the same as the V6 ones and the lift one if the same as a VLT.

I second that i had to replace both of mine within a week of each other when my car stoped.It wont run on one pump, if the intank dies the lift pump cant pull fuel. If the lift dies it blocks the flow from the intank. They both go around the same time normally

To correct myself......it will run to some extent, but will have limited power and stall heaps annnnd burns the other pump out as its working twice as hard.

yeah he checked all the fuses & they were fine... it has 2 fuel pumps... but when the ignition is turn to the on position it doesnt pump fuel (no noise) is there a difference between the vl turbo & non turbo? & how hard are thery to change
What model Commodore is it? in a VP I'd also be suspicious of the immobilizer switch in the passenger door

Has to be the turbo pump, the N/A one wont flow enough.

Hey guy & girls,
just been round pricing fuel pumps & got told that i can replace both fuel pumps with a single vr fuel pump. would it be a v8 vr or would the v6 one fit?
the new external pump wouldve cost me $165 the cheapest or i can get a second hand pump from the vr for 45. how easy are therse to fit??
cheers garth

Good luck!! Would have to be a pretty decent pump for it to replace the two that are there now.
