Angry fuel pump needs replacing...

Denso parts says they discontinued the one for our cars, the dealership quoted $483. just for the pump, the only option I could find that I half trust is AutoZone is the Delphi and that's $212 just the pump. Not even with the filter which I would have to buy separately. Any ideas not that it matters I think they are all the same, but mine is an '02. And anybody have any experience with Delphi pumps? or can recommend where to buy one a Denso one? thx yall

Pump itself is made by Kyosan not Denso, the entire assembly is Denso. What makes you think your fuel pump is bad? Failure is rare. If you need one
https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/2322150090
Used assembly
https://www.ebay.com/itm/364479101907

Or roll the dice on parts store stuff that's not something I would do for a critical component. BTW there is no complete unit sold by Lexus only individual components.

well it starting to whine every time i drive and also it takes multiple cranks to start where it didn't before the whining started. its not the starter, or the battery for sure i would place all my chips on the fuel pump. and thanks for the help im gonna look at the links provided now.

jesus thats crazy expensive. this is looking pretty good as an alternative https://www.ebay.com/itm/17088490237...6ME13SBX71MZ9J . I saw a guy change his with part (denso part # 950-0107) i believe on his ls430 came with everything to rebuild the whole assembly but apparently they dont make those anymore... see he has it in this video
its within the first minute he shows the denso box with everything in it...

Don't buy AC Dieco. I don't think there is such thing as a Denso 950-0107 it's a part sold with the name because Denso is trusted. Could be wrong if that really is a Denso then consider it.

Angry !!!???


This is some serious bs the only part I found was from that amayama site which has to come from japan which is 330 plus tax, no body has it not even the denso websites (they have the filters though) I almost feel like going to the dealership and ordering it from there at least I wont have to wait for it to get here from another country.

there he goes again again, daryl to save the day, this one doesn't have the shiny metal like all the OG densos but at this point im sure it has some warranty, and frankly its inside the gas tank as long as it works and for a fairly reasonable price. But yeah to anyone who needs one in the future your options are becoming limited, one other site I found it on wanted 300+ and delivery would take till feb. 24th-28th. a month now lets see if any of the local autoshops have it...

ahahaha only to me i put them in my cart and choose home delivery (because it was the only option) and went to pay for them and it said this part is no longer available.... We just have it on our site to honor the parts we once used to sell...

Looks like the dealer is your place to go.



It also looks like they are listing a different part number now.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Fuel pumps are all about the same. As long as the pins in the harness are the same and it is not under powered, your system should stay pressurized.

I would almost consider having the dealer install it. If you can stomach the price. It's an electric part. Once you walk out the door with it they can claim that any problems are your problems. If they install it, they own any problems. Something to consider. At least get a quote and let the forum know what it was.

after installing the bosch it started right up and soon as i went into gear a gave gas I heard a pop from the fuel pump,(bunch of f-words, wouldn't restart) it pushed it out of where its supposed to sit, the bosch is 1/4 inch shorter than the denso, looks like im gonna have to go to the dealer after i return this one.... I hope my blunders can help someone some time and energy.

i received it in the mail from mylparts.com someone had to be home to sign for it.
this was the total after coupon codes and stuff. it was expensive but if you can change a battery you can change a fuel filter so i did the labor myself.

and it looked like i ripped it out of buddies sc430(i mean right size exactly oem). throttle response is way better I was in mexico and after checking tire pressure it got up to 135 and could of kept going. also check engine light turned off...
