Re: 84-245 DL in tank fuel pump suspicious,power loss 200 1984

You can check by running the car and listening to the pump. Try putting a plastic hose down the fuel filler tube a little ways, and you should hear it whirring. Also, many times when the pre-pump fails, the main fuel pump will make a louder noise than usual. This can eventually make this pump fail as well.

Replacement is not that difficult, you can do it from inside the wagon. You lift up the floor panel between the 2nd seat and the 3rd seat well. You will see the top of the fuel tank, and the place where the hoses and wires go in and out, this is the top of the pre-pump & fuel level sender assembly. It can be an awkward job, because the floor panel can get in the way, and the assembly will probably have a lot of rust around it.

To remove the assembly, use lots of penetrating oil, and you have to unscrew it by hitting it with a screwdriver and hammer, or with some special tool.

Maybe you also want to check your fuel pressure, and make sure your fuel pressure regulator is ok. That can make some problems, too.

Hope this helps.

Greg
