Archived 1st gen Bad Leaking Injection Pump

[supergas]

I replaced the injection pump on my '92 with a Bosch reman about 5000 miles ago, Worked great until today. There is a steady spray of diesel coming from the backside if the pump. It was dark when I noticed it so I just got it home. It got nearly 2 mpg on the way home. The bad news is I found out that the guy that sold me this pump no longer works at the shop and there is no records of purchase (must have back doored parts) so no warranty. I found this out when I contacted him looking for another pump for a friend. Also for the last month there has been a slight surge at idle is this related? I guess I will pull the pump tomarrow is there hope or is this a sign of more trouble inside the pump? What is back there to leak? Sorry for the long post just wanted to give anybody that can help all the info I can

As far as I've heard, the pump is most likely toast

You should try posting this in the 1st gen forum as well, you'll get a lot more feedback in there.

Thanks for your thoughts I can only hope you are wrong, if you are right I will have to let the truck set for a while.

Thats what mine did when it died. The only difference was mine was more than just a leak, it was pouring a stream about 1/2" diameter out all over the road! Had to have it rebuilt. Hope that you can get yours taken care of soon, would not be any fun just seeing it sit.
