Problem of lack of power on the Kia Picanto

Model: Kia Picanto TA, MK 2 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Fuel pump

In this video we can see a rather common problem with the Kia Picanto, namely the loss of power due to a faulty fuel pump. The YouTuber shows us that no errors were detected by the diagnosis scanner, but if we connect a pressure gauge to the fuel pump pressure, with the engine running hot. The minimum pressure that the pump must maintain is about 3 bar, so that the vehicle does not lose power, while instead we see that it always remains below this value. The solution is therefore to replace the pump, or to remove it and overhaul it.
