I bought a set of the Lindsey fuel lines. The records I have for the car don't show that the pump or the filter have ever been replaced. It's an 87 951 with 87k. I'm guessing it's a good idea to go ahead and do those while I'm there. I'll probably do the Lindsey pump and find a filter somewhere.

I'm going to purchase the shop manuals from another Rennlister but have the PDF's I found online. One thing that I find hard to do from time to time is locate where in the engine compartment some of this stuff is. The diagrams often cut to the closeup without a larger picture zeroing in on where it is exactly. With the pics old and in B&W it's hard to tell where some of the stuff is and get any detail.

Does anyone know of an engine diagram with better detail on where stuff is in the engine compartment? I recall seeing a parts site a while back that showed a lot of detail for the various sub systems in a 3D format (not the 2D format that the shop manuals often provide which is not helpful for locating stuff).

Thanks!!

Pump is fine as long as it's working, replace the filter and the lines going to the fuel rail and call it good. Just dont over tighten any connections on the rail so it leaks.

The pumps go forever, mine has 175,000 miles on it. It's $200 you don't have to spend. But if you want to replace it, it's pretty simple.

Both www.pelicanparts.com and www.paragon-products.com have good prices on the filter.

The fuel filter is visible looking through the right rear wheel well. It is a canister about 2" in diameter and about 4" long.

I responded to your PM BTW...

great - thank you! that's what i was looking for really...what the useful life was for those since it seems pretty easy to get it - better to be safe than sorry if it was on it's last leg...

the manual says replace the fuel filter and O2 sensors every 60,000 miles.

I would reccomend replacing the filter sock in the tank, its really easy and stops trash from getting into the pump.

Thanks. I've got paperwork from the original owner - the O2 sensor was done at about 60k by the the dealer so I think that's OK (I have 87k on it now). I grabbed a new filter and will replace that when I do the lines...

I'll pass on the pump for now - just plan on changing at 100k whether it's acting up or not...
