  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Both of the bolts on my high pressure fuel pump have sheared off. The car threw an engine code that bank 2 was running too rich at idle and smoking. Removed the cover to see the fuel pump shaking. I’m not even sure what to do. I broke an extractor in the hole where one of the bolts broke off. Would I be able to replace the aluminum housing?

The bolts for the fuel pump should not be torqued down too tight(maybe 30 foot/lbs or so max), so an extractor should be able to free the broken bolt threads. You should not need an new housing mount, unless you are planning on cutting/drilling off the old mount to extract the broken threads. I would try drill a hole in the old broken threads and then try using an small extract bit first.

Hopefully the high pressure fuel pump bolt heads does not shear themselves off as a normal occurrence.
