Pontiac was named after a native chief. It has been highly regarded for its dependability, durability, high-performing parts, and accessories. During the development of Pontiac, many popular parts have been built, such as the fuel pump. It has two kinds: mechanical and electric. The mechanical fuel pump is mainly used on engines that rely on a carburetor to deliver the air into the combustion chambers. It has a lever on the pump that actuates by riding on the eccentric lobe on the camshaft. And the electric one is used on newer engines that rely on fuel injection to deliver the air into the combustion chamber. It is mostly run off an ECU or PCM which helps regulate when the pump shuts off and when it comes on.
Pontiac parts function quite well in the beginning. However, the old fuel pump might lead to poor functions and an unpleasant driving experience after years of usage. The removal of the old unit includes removing the fuel hoses from the pump and discarding the old gasket. When removing the old parts, make sure not to damage the lever that rides on the diaphragm of the pump. Servicing the fuel pump will require the tank to be drained and removed from the vehicle.
