Hello everyone, I just got my self a 1st gen yota 2 days ago. I have been looking for one for a while now. The truck being an 82 needs some engine work. It Idols rough so I was snooping around under the engine and I found a mechanical fuel pump on the side of the head. That's cool, so I was fallowing the lines and I ran into another electric fuel pump on the pass side fender well. I find 2 fuel pumps interesting and was wondering if this is normal for 1st gen toyotas. Ive never seen 2 fuel pumps on a vehicle before, but I'm new to Toyotas. I don't have a shop manual or any thing yet so I was hopping all of you could maybe help me out.

Much appreciated
Kris

 

You should just have one mechnical fuel pump. can you tell if the electric one is aftermarket?

Someone likely had (or thought they had) fuel issues, and added a 2nd pump to maintain flow. Chances are it's either not needed, or covering up another problem.


I have two pumps ...... But that's for other reasons.
