RE: [DML] fuel pump

You may have some trash in the pump.
Remove the pump from the car completely. Spray the inside from both ends
with a lot of WD40 or equivalent to clean it out. Connect the pump to a 12V
power supply. If it still does not turn then reverse the polarity and try
to run it backwards.

Only run the pump long enough to establish that it turns. You do not want
to run it dry, that's why I say use WD40. Do not do this in the car around
the gas tank. If you create a spark around the gas tank, your problems will
multiply at a very rapid rate.

I have done this, and the pump has continued to work for a considerable
amount of time.

Thanks for the help with my fuel problem. My pump did have power to it but
the intake line was split so it was drawing in lots of air. I believe this
must have burned out the pump because now it still has power to it and you
can feel it jerk if you're holding it but does'nt pump. I assume it needs a
new pump. The fuel pump that was in it was a Bosch #0580254957 will this
work
correctly in my car? does it make any difference that the car has twin
turbos?
Thanks Lee
