What are the reasons for a gasoline water pump not pumping water?
2 Answers
Air has entered the clean water pipe and the water pump body, or there is a problem with the internal components. The following are specific symptoms of a faulty electronic water pump: 1. Overheating of water temperature: The car's cooling circulation capacity weakens or even stops circulating, leading to overheating of the water temperature, especially more noticeable in the southern summer. 2. Water pump leakage: The engine leaks near the water pump area. Leaking coolant will leave traces of coolant color on the water pump vent holes, leading to symptoms such as high water temperature due to lack of coolant. 3. Abnormal noise from the water pump: The water pump makes abnormal noises when the engine is running, which may be slight and difficult to detect.
I've been a car repair master for almost ten years, and there are several common issues when the fuel pump fails to deliver gasoline. The most likely scenario is that the fuel pump is completely burnt out, and you won't hear the humming sound under the rear seat when turning the key. It could also be a severe blockage in the fuel line, with the filter screen in the fuel tank clogged by debris. Additionally, a burnt fuel pump relay or a blown fuel pump circuit fuse can also cause a complete lack of response. The most troublesome issue is when the fuel tank's suction pipe ages and cracks, causing air leaks no matter how much you try to pump. In such cases, avoid forcing the ignition to prevent cylinder flooding. It's recommended to call a tow truck immediately for a shop inspection. Before removing the fuel tank, always remember to pull the fuel pump fuse to release pressure—otherwise, gasoline spraying everywhere is extremely dangerous.
