Hello bosses in the house, my fuel pump went bad in February, and my rewire changed it. My rewire did not replace the entire fuel pump back then, just the main engine (that round iron silver thing).

After the fix, I noticed that the car sometimes takes like 2 cranks before it starts, and I was told may be my battery is on the verge of giving up (that was the battery that was in the car when I bought it as tokunbo this Jan), alas, I bought a new battery, but the issue still persist once in a while.

Fast forward to last month, the car jerked roughly, and lose acceleration while on speed. I called the rewire and he confirmed the fuel pump is gone as it doesn't supply fuel to the engine.

Now he suggested that I shouldn't use the fuel pump that came with the car, that they are the short type and are quick to develop faults, instead I should get a tokunbo variant that is long which is for camry or some Toyota brand/model like that (I know mechanics and anyone with experience would understand what I'm trying to say). So I obliged, and he fixed that into the car, and the car now starts immediately I turn the ignition (so it was the fuel pump that causes those cranking all along and not the battery as the rewire guy suggested).

My issue now is that I noticed the car consumes fuel than usual. I will attach a screenshot of my ODO meter before and after a roughly 24km distance. At the rate the car consumes fuel, I doubt I can average the 350-400km per 50+ ltrs(the full tank) that I see some people boast of with corolla 03-07.

So I am here to table it to my ogas who might have a better understanding of what is going on.. Or may be I'm just been paranoid with the fuel consumption thing.

I humbly await your suggestions.

Thank you.

kindly buy a complete fuel pump assy that came with your car.

What you have currently done is installed a fuel pump and bypassed the fuel pressure regulator.


This will.be my last response .
