What can fail
The fuel pump's upper body may be sized incorrectly, misaligning the armature shaft. This reduces brush-to-commutator contact. Ethanol-blend fuel can also create a film between the brush and commutator, increasing resistance. Together, these prevent sufficient fuel pressure, causing poor starting or hesitation.
What the fix does
The fuel pump assembly will be replaced with one that maintains proper brush-to-commutator contact and fuel pressure.
