OP XKontour98 Hard-core CEG\'er X Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 3,709 Rochester, Minnesota	I believe my pump is going again that makes #3! anyway I last replaced it this past spring about 20K ago and I used a pump from autozone that came with a lifetime warranty. Heres the deal, providing I can find the reciept, how would I go about getting the new pump. I would imagine I would have to take the old one in exchange for the new one but I am going to have it done at the stealership so I cant figure out a way to do it without buying a new pump. I have a 98 duratec with the return style fuel system. The first pump I replaced was the 2nd day I owned the car at 30K then again at 50K and now. are these bad pumps or is it something else? I have done the fuel filters,tune-ups and all the goodies. Should I go with the AZ pump or order one from BAT? The current AZ one has always been loud!

I didn't think they did this as that's where they make there money - on parts. As for getting a new pump from autozone you will probably need reciept and fuel pump. They might also want to test the pump before you get your new one. Don't think any company will refund you money. If they're like the stores up here. If there nice about it they will just swap them. Call them and ask!! Best answer I can think of! 1996 2.5LT V6 Contour ATX My Tour+help/info pics E0 rims, Gutted Pre-Cats,CTA Custom Exhaust & Intake, Diablo Chip.

I dont trust the backyard mechanics that are not certified at these small town shops we have here.

I'm having a strange problem with my Contour and I believe it is fuel related. I'm going to change the fuel filter here soon. -Auto Makor- -Experimentor -Station Wagonor- -Computerizor- I have a foot that is bigger than a foot. SuperChipFOR SALE

It might start cutting out at certain rpm's or just feel sluggish over all. 96 Mystique GS 85 VW Golf
