The Story
Fuel Pump Module Assembly for 2003 Explorer and Mountaineer
Sparta PN3085 is a standard replacement fuel pump module assembly for specific 2003 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer applications. It includes the fuel sending unit, regulator, strainer, gasket/seal, and float arm for a complete in-tank service solution.
Key Features
- Specific fit fuel pump module assembly for 2003 Ford Explorer and 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
- 12-volt electric turbine pump with in-tank design
- Fuel sending unit, regulator, strainer, and seal included
- Gasoline application with quick-connect outlet and 2 outlet ports
- Standard replacement construction with plastic housing
- Average flow rating of 40 and maximum pressure rating of 80
- 2 connectors, round connector shape, 7 terminals, female connector gender
Detailed Description
Sparta PN3085 is built for higher-mileage and earlier-model vehicles, drawing on OE fuel system expertise from Delphi distribution. This fuel pump module assembly is engineered as a direct replacement for the original in-tank unit on the 2003 Ford Explorer and 2003 Mercury Mountaineer, with the fuel sending unit and regulator already integrated for a more complete repair. The module uses a turbine-style electric pump, external strainer, nitrile rubber seal, and quick-connect outlet configuration to match the original fuel system layout.
This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps E2351M and Carter P76112M for the same application. Sparta PN3085 is a practical choice when replacing a worn fuel pump module on a 2003 Ford Explorer or 2003 Mercury Mountaineer and restoring proper fuel delivery and tank level reporting.
What This Part Helps Address
- Hard starting caused by weak or failing fuel pressure
- Engine hesitation or stalling from inconsistent fuel delivery
- Inaccurate fuel gauge readings from a worn sending unit
- Fuel pump noise associated with an aging in-tank module
- Loss of pressure within the specified 59 to 80 psi operating range
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle fitment before installation, as this module is specific to 2003 Ford Explorer and 2003 Mercury Mountaineer applications. Confirm connector style, outlet configuration, and tank sealing surfaces before assembly. Because mounting hardware and lock ring are not included, reuse or source the required tank hardware as needed. Replace the seal during installation and inspect the fuel tank for contamination before placing the new module into service.
Quality Assurance
Sparta fuel system components are backed by Delphi distribution, an OE fuel supplier with application knowledge focused on fit and performance for earlier-model, higher-mileage vehicles. PN3085 is built as a standard replacement module assembly for direct-service use.
