Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuel pump
Operation: The symptoms of a faulty high-pressure pump.

In this video, we see the symptoms of a malfunctioning high-pressure fuel pump. First of all, we may hear a metallic noise inside the engine compartment due to the spring sliding over the cam, which is pushed very quickly and creates high pressure in the fuel. Inside, we have a roller that may wear out or get damaged, causing a kind of whistle, and the engine check light will also come on, and on the control unit, we can read the error code P0087. Another symptom could be difficulty in starting, or when we are between 2,000 and 4,000 RPM, we may experience hesitation or misfires. We may also experience increased fuel consumption, low power, and irregular idle. It is therefore essential to test the pump with the specifications for our vehicle and check that the components are in good condition. Working on these high-pressure components can be very dangerous, so it is essential that the work is done with safety measures. Otherwise, it is better to entrust the work to specialists.
