![]() I've had my Delphi pump assembly for 6 months now and its not impressive. Now its indicating full fuel down to the first 1/2 of the tank and its leaking down immediately. If I plug the rail I see the pump pressure drop off to zero within a second of the pump shutting off. It makes starting annoying.
I know there are a lot of bad quality pumps out there and I really don't want to get stranded 100 miles from home so I'm looking for a quality pump. I"ve had good luck with Delphi's in the past. So should I roll the dice on another Delphi or go with the Spectra. I see Spectra is a favorite on Rockauto. -Robert

![]() I'd review old threads here for advice on brands. I seem to recall that Carter and/or Airtex were the preferred brands for reliable/properly inspected fuel pumps.
On other parts like radiator replacements, Spectra's reputation has been mixed. And Delphi has been eroding its reputation as a lowest-bid part reboxer.

![]() Thanks, OldNuc! Redoing a fuel pump because of crappy replacement parts would have to be one of the worst!

![]() Put the Carter in this weekend. Issues seem to be resolved. Car starts up right away after sitting. Of course the Delphi pump worked well for 6 months too though. I did notice that the Carter pump makes more noise than the Delphi but you can't hear it once the car is running.
