Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southeast Fuel Pump Replaced

i own a 2000 csvt. the part # for the green gasket that seals the top of the fuel tank under the back seat is part#XS2Z-9276-AA. I'm unsure what part # you have. as far as i know it is the part # you will need for an E1 csvt.

Althought if you car still runs and justs cut out or surges at high rpm's the fuel pump filter disk #1 and the fuel punp sock filter #2 is most likly your problem. these filters get real nasty ,grimy and dirty .

you can remove the disk screen at the bottom of the fuel pump basket [throw this thing in the trash]. and cut a smalll hole in the sock filter connected to the fuel pump itself inside the basket. [you will need to replace the green gasket if you do this]

that will fix the fuel starvation problem with less than a 1/2 tank of fuel.and the car will run fine reguardless of the amount of fuel in the gas tank.

as far as replacing the sock filter the only way i have found one was to buy a $300 csvt fuel pump unit. they don't seem to sell just the filter itself you must buy the complete unit. check out the fsvt fuel pump replacement in the dura -tech maintaince section for more info on this.
