Fuel pump! Not enough pressure!

Okay so I finally get my car running. The fuel pressure was at 4psi I drove it around and then the next day the fuel pump became weaker. It was working fine untill the next morning. HELP

Try changing the fuel filter and check the fuel pump intake sock inside the fuel tank. If either are dirty they can cause issues.

The fuel intake sock was shriveled and just came off. What do I do now. The frame is the only thing left of it. What do I do?

You replace it. Replace your fuel filter, too.

Try to get a good look in your fuel tank for debris.

Mazda Trix: Fuel Filter

As for the fuel sock... Replace it with the necessary OEM part. (I cannot find it on Mazda Trix or Rock Auto.)


Try a local auto parts store. They should have the fuel filter, too.

Many cars have the pick up sock go somewhere that handles auto parts Napa is good and just get one with the same size pipe it doesn't need to be for Mazda. Drain your tank and rinse with clean fuel if it looks dirty then finish the sock thing ..

^

Or even Google "fuel pump strainer". It doesn't necessarily require the exact OEM part. You can always get something to fit snugly.
