How can you tell a Mazda fuel pump needs replacing?

There are several signs that could indicate a problem with this system in your Mazda, including:

  • Trouble starting: If your car has trouble starting or if the engine won’t start at all it could be a problem with part of the fuel system.
  • Stalling or sputtering: When fuel is unable to get to the engine in proper quantities, your car may stall or sputter when in use or even on the highway.
  • No fuel pump sounds: The fuel pump in most Mazda vehicles, including the Mazda 6, is electric. With the ignition turned to the “On” position, you should be able to hear the electrical sounds of the fuel pump when it is working properly.
  • Poor fuel pressure: Use a fuel pressure gauge to check the fuel system. A low reading could be a sign of fuel system problems.
  • Poor fuel economy: Track your mileage and MPG. Problems with fuel economy, especially highway gas mileage, are a sign that the fuel system is not working efficiently.
