Gravel

A couple weeks ago while driving up a mountain in 100 deg heat, my RL just died. Felt like an old car vapor locking. We were at about 7000ft elevation, hot out and I was pushing the car a bit to make time. It cooled off a little and restarted, but wouldn’t keep running for long. A long tow truck ride home followed. A quick search here showed that there was a factory service bulletin about this exact issue. I ordered a new Denso pump, installed it (super easy!) and it’s fixed and running better than ever.

The pump is under the drivers side of the back seat, 20-30 minutes total installation. Be careful to get the fuel line lock clip off of the old pump or you may end up with a puddle of gas on the ground like I did.

Hope this helps the next guy who’s RL dies on a hot day in the mountains!
