fuel pump question

Featured Replies

does any know what psi the fuel pump runs at on a 1993 subaru loyale

thanks for the info

craig

The manual says

 

17.5-24psi at idel

 

And 20psi for hold pressure.

 

 

Hope this helps!

I could have sworn the chart in my Chilton's lists it as 27-42 or so (off the top of my head). I'll pull it out of the back of the car tomorrow and double check--my memory could be way off if it doesn't top 30!

the reason i ask all the web sites i have looked at say the pumps work at 1.5 - 3 psi

I think there is a difference between carbed and SPFI fuel pumps. I could be wrong, but I think the carbed runs at a lower psi and if you have a 93 Loyale, you would have SPFI

Yeah that would be the carbs that runs that low. Yours is a spfi for sure. Ive worked on several.

 

Having a problem with th fuel pump?

That Summit pump is for carbs I believe. I recently had to do some looking around for a Loyale pump. The SPFI Airtex pump is about $200.00, and has a max psi of about 60 or so.

 

Northern Auto Parts lists the replacement pump for the MPFI cars for about $130.00, and they have a max psi of 95. It's physically larger than the SPFI pump tho and won't bolt into the fuel pump tray bracket strap. It's the least expensive new pump I've found for these cars recently.

Loyale SPFI pump on the left, MPFI Turbo pump on the right.

Anyone have a link for a Walbro pump that will do for a SPFI Loyale? Anyone have a good used pump to offer the OP?

 

I have a friend that needs a fuel pump for her Loyale so I'll get in line behind the OP with that fuel pump request.

Or a Ranger pump(though they are technically the same thing I believe). I got one off Rockauto for $40. It was for a 1987 Ranger 2.3 FI. They had in tank low pressure, and frame rail high pressure pumps. The hose size is 5/16 on both sides I believe. Search Rockauto.com for P37
