    How can i get a Wrx sti fuel pump to work?

    I recently installed a wrx sti pump in my car & when i turn the engine over it won't start. Before installation i tested on the battery & it worked well, but when i place it in the tray & connected the fuel pump it doesn't work. I took it off back & tested my stock pump & it work well. What i notice is that i am getting around 10v to the pump, so i am thinking the 10v is too low for sti fuel pump.

    i suggest selling the sti pump, going on ebay and paying for the CORRECT bf chassis GTX walbro 255 pump kit. its one of the few parts still made just for our car and worth it. I could tell u to wire the STI pump to a switch, with an emergency OFF button on the dash and wire it up to the 12V battery. But unless u know exatly what you are doing you gotta remember that you are messing with electricity inside the gas tank, be careful and dont blow yourself or your car up wiring something wrong.

    ill make this easy $78.00

      really no need for a 255 lph pump anyways. way overkill, and heats up the fuel in the lines besides.

      Not to say they aren't good, though. because they are.

        Or just buy a FD3S RX-7 fuel pump from ebay. Mine works great since 1999 or 2000

          I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
