Detailed Description

Sparta PN2000 is an internal, in-tank electric fuel pump engineered as a standard replacement for older and higher-mileage vehicles. It uses a turbine-style pump design and is specified for gas fuel systems with a 50 to 87 pressure range, 26.0 average flow rating, and 5.0-amp average current draw. The pump includes a hose bead outlet, strainer inlet, square female connector, and 2-terminal male pin connection for direct replacement service. This part cross-references Bosch 69420 and Carter P72106 for the same application. Compatible vehicle coverage includes BMW 318i, BMW 325i, Chevrolet Corvette, and Pontiac Firebird among many others listed in the fitment data. The PN2000 is backed by Sparta, a brand distributed by Delphi, the OE full-line fuel supplier, with product positioning focused on fit and performance for earlier model platforms.

Common Fuel System Issues

• Hard starting caused by weak in-tank fuel pressure
• Engine hesitation or stumble under load from inconsistent fuel delivery
• Fuel starvation symptoms during acceleration or cruising
• No-start conditions related to a failed electric fuel pump
• Poor drivability from an aging pump in higher-mileage vehicles

Installation Notes

Install the PN2000 in the tank at the original pump location and verify the vehicle uses the correct specific-fit configuration before service. Confirm connector style, terminal count, inlet size, and outlet type against the original unit, and replace the seal during installation. The package includes an instruction sheet, terminal hardware, seals, clamps, hose piece, isolator, and a 4-wire pump harness with connector assembly. Use proper fuel-system safety procedures and verify pressure after installation.
