Why doesn't the fuel pump make noise when the key is turned on?
1 Answers
The fuel pump is damaged. When the fuel pump fails to start and cannot establish oil pressure, the crankshaft sensor forcibly activates the pump during secondary ignition. Below is relevant information about fuel pumps: 1. Diaphragm-type fuel pump: The diaphragm-type fuel pump is a representative of mechanical fuel pumps, used in carburetor engines. It is generally driven by an eccentric wheel on the camshaft. The diaphragm-type fuel pump is characterized by its simple structure, but due to the influence of engine heat, special attention must be paid to ensuring its fuel delivery performance at high temperatures, as well as the durability of the rubber diaphragm against heat and fuel. 2. Electric fuel pump: Instead of being driven by the camshaft, it relies on electromagnetic force to repeatedly actuate the pump diaphragm. This type of electric pump allows for flexible installation positions and can prevent vapor lock. The main installation types of electric fuel pumps used in fuel-injected engines include being mounted in the fuel supply line or inside the fuel tank.
