Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump
Recognizing the signs of a failing fuel pump early can prevent more serious damage to your vehicle.
Common symptoms include:
- Engine Sputtering: This often occurs at high speeds and indicates insufficient fuel is reaching the engine.
- Poor Acceleration: A lag in response when you press the gas pedal may suggest the pump is struggling to deliver fuel.
- Engine Will Not Start: If your vehicle is turning over but not starting, the fuel pump could be the culprit.
- Loss of Power: Noticeable especially when climbing hills or towing, as the engine isn’t getting enough fuel.
- Noisy Fuel Tank: A whining noise from the tank is a telltale sign the pump may need attention.
In addition to these symptoms, you might notice fluctuations in engine temperature or unusual vibrations. These signs, along with an illuminated check engine light, can often point to underlying fuel pump issues that require immediate attention. Addressing these symptoms with a certified technician at Christian Brothers Automotive Corinth ensures that minor problems do not escalate into major repairs.
