Scrubb Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just got a fuel pump for my 4G32 in my EX, its one of the 3-bolt ones from supercheap, Is that piece that sits againsed the cam meant to be really hard to move or easy? do I need to take it back or is it fine? I know nothing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yeah they usually have quite a large spring on it so will be initially hard to move. You can move it a few mm from memory before it starts to get hard to move. Hang on to your receipt as the experience me and Pete have had with those pumps is they don't last long. *edit* oh yeah don't forget to read the instructions carefully. If you don't install it exactly right the arm can slip off the cam and then it can snap when the engine turns over. You'll have to remove the distributor to get to the fuel pump too, so make sure you are familiar with setting the timing on the 4G32.

Scrubb Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 gotta remove the distributor?.. that sucks.. I dont have a timing light.. guess I'll just take it in where it got WOF and get them to do it like I did last time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 jsut chuck the timing marks at tdc, mark the dizzy. make sure you chuck it bck in at the same point etc. piece of piss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 nah you dont need to move the dizzy, makes it a bit easier but not required, its a cunt to get on whichever way you do it(except if your really lucky). just make sure no. 2 is at tdc and keep at it edit: changed it to stop problems!

fuel Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 You gotta have number #2 piston at TDC in order for the lobe on the cam to be at the lowest point, installing the pump when not at #2 TDC could cause issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubb Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 sweet, says that on the instructions I think. Putting marks on the distributor is a good idea.. did that when the head got done but the marks got rubbed off some how.. which sucked so I think I'll leave it on if I can, if not, make sure it gets marked!

fuel Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 The distributor shaft has a mark to line up with the distributor body. As long as these are lined up when number #1 piston is at TDC you'll be fine. Takes a bit of fiddling though, as when you insert the dizzy the shaft will twist a bit, so line up the marks and take note where the dizzy rotor is pointing, then move the rotor in the opposite way it turns before you re-insert it, basically compensating for it moving when you insert it. Check the rotor is pointing the way it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 ive done it a few times and never removed the dizzy...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I just remove the dizzy cause I find it easier to get to. But that was in a FWD Galant with the pump being at the rear of the engine bay, whereas your RWD cars are a bit easier access wise. Cam -> Is that on your 4G36 or 4G63? If 4G63 it's in a different place than the 4G32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubb Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 yeah, its on the right side.. pretty easy to access it looks like. It says to use gasket sealer stuff.. thats that stuff which looks kinda like glue in a tube? Same stuff I used for rocker cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Yeah, and make sure you use the spacer too which should come with the new pump. If you don't install the spacer you can damage the pump also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Sounds like heaps of effort and those take away a little bit of power too. You should blank it and stick a small electric one in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Oooh that reminds me I have a blanking plate to suit a 4G32/37 too. Find a carby turbo cordia electric fuel pump or any other inline low pressure pump and you'll be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubb Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Car is going again.. smacked the carb with a spanner and it works now Someone told me the float could have been stuck.. Might put new fuel pump in anyway but I dunno cuz my bro paid for it.. I dont know about using an electric fuel pump.. sounds like too much effort if u ask me since its going again now on the old pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
