95 neon pops fuel pump fuse.

[Gringo003]

ok so he keeps blowiing the fuel pump fuse and after replacing it aand starting it up it runs but once he starts accelerating and the car starts moving the fuse pops again.. also the fuel gaugue doent work as well would this be any indication that the fuel pump is bad or if there is somethign on the fuel pump that is grounding it out and making the fuse pop.. any help would be appreciated.. also if the fuel pump is bad and needs replacement if we got a walbro 255 one and installed that would it be ok with no proformance mods.. they are a $100 cheaper than stock... thanks

please anyone

your fuel pump is dying...this is a common symptom of dying fuel pumps...my old 95 did it too until I replaced the pump

will a walbro 255 be ok cause stock ones are 100 dollars more than the walbrow ones... i dont know if it will pump more fuel than it should.. let me know if this will be ok so i can swap it out for him.. i just want to save him money..

wal wil be fine.

yep, the 255 is a direct(but higher flowing, if ever needed and quieter) stock replacement, after all, the only two things that can change fuel injected into the engine are fuel pressure(controlled by the regulator) and pulsewidth(controlled by the ECU)

ok cool so ill order that for him and put it in and the fuse should stop poping and stuff??? i hope so he gets stuck everywhere with that damn thing it doesnt even more anymore it starts and idles but once u hit the gas and start moving it blows the fuse

[Josiah]

yep, there is a 90% chance its a fuel pump...the other possibility being a short in the wiring, which you may want to check

[Gringo003]

will do thanks
