I'm shopping for a replacement fuel pump for my 3.4 There are a lot of fuel pumps out there which one do you reccomend? How is the Fiero Store one? Thanks for your input.
As a review and to give a heads up based on experience... and I don't want to dog this company out too bad---- but..... I'd stay away from walbro... maybe my luck?... but I just replaced pump (#2) with approx 1500-2000 miles on it.. it cuts out.. then plays dead / then starts over; pump (#1) was the same.. BOTH pumps left me stranded on the side of the freeway. One was 96 miles out (plus the reason my wife hates this car😐) and another was 30 miles out.. thank goodness for AAA plus, though, with their 100miles and all..
Now!...... I'm trying out the EP375 fuel pump by ACDelco. ----->> It fits! ( just installed it tonight actually.. and the pigtails are plug and play ). This unit is actually the OEM piece for a 1994 Corvette with a 5.7L.. I felt it's good for our 3.4's.. and if I ever wanted to turbo or supercharge, I'll probably still be good with this pump.... you have an adjustable fuel regulator?.. the Holly one for me..
When thinking back, a production/off the line vehicle has the best pumps, I never hear of any problems... unless it's really old and needs the change.. 2000 miles, let's hope not.. Anyway, .. I will always stay away from aftermarket for pumps from now on...

Last year I replaced my old fuel pump with a Delphi FE0114. It is rated at 34.2gph and it was supposedly the same model used on the INDY 500 LT1/4 corvettes.
Edit: Correction, it was two years ago.

Note: Any sold thru Ebay are often a poor copy of whatever part. Walbro ACDelco and others have Many problems w/ counterfeit parts on Ebay. They claim this to Ebay, Ebay cancel seller account then pops up again under a new name. Amazon is close to same thing now. Both do little or nothing to fight the problem because they rake in Many Millions of $ in fees even after getting sued repeatedly.

Thanks for the input and the heads up about Ebay pumps. After reading your respnses and having done some homework , I'm leaning towards the AC Delco EP 240 for $45.49 - Autozone. I don't want to take down the gas tank again after this if I can help it. I welcome some more inputs.
First, I must compliment you on your tenacity to get what was advertised. As for the AC Delco EP378, from what you indicate is a better pump, completely interchangeable with the 240. Yet, the official AC Delco website does not list it for the 2.8. Rock Auto has it for $54.79. Did you eventually install it into your Fiero ?

Thanks. As tenacious as I was, it unfortunately didn't get me anywhere. However, I'm now fully aware that eBay caters to their shady high-volume vendors... and that they couldn't care less about the suckers like us who simply buy stuff.

I installed the fuel pump that I received. I can't comment on the performance or durability of the pump though... as other than basically starting the engine, this particular Fiero/project became a "spare".
I am using a Deutchwerks pump and really like it. They have DW200 (255 LPH@ 40 psi) and DW300 (340 LPH@40 psi) pumps that can be relatively easily installed in a Fiero tank. They also offer a three year warranty. When I purchased mine, it was a "no fault" warranty but I do not know what the current warranty details are.

Good to know... I bought an EP-381 pump, but evaluating its suitability for my turbo project consisted of a wild guess. Deutchwerks provides a handy flow vs. pressure chart, and CAD too, so we can see what pumps fit right. If the EP-381 isn't able to maintain fuel pressure, I may just look at Deutchwerks.
I also used the EP381. I have a walbro 255 in another car, and it is a lot louder than the EP381. Only way I can tell the EP381 is priming is to watch the volt gauge, it is so quiet. As mentioned, beware of fakes.
