In a previous video https://youtu.be/PrEh0zK4BI0 I looked at a Toyota Camry that was towed in for a no start. We made the call on the fuel pump and the car was towed away for a cheaper fix. Welllll.... it's back 😏! -Enjoy!

That was Nice. I'm not looking forward to fix being fuel pump, but you made it seem quite easy. – after tests. Thanks.
yeah got love customers like this – I always think "I forgot you are saving money"
Gotta love the cheap people who keep spending more to save less 🤣🤣
That is what is called, "Poetic Justice".
Stepping over dollars to pick up pennies!
Another case of chinisiem not the first won't be the last lol
Saved $200 on E-bay to pay for the towing charges….
I wanted to point out on the Ebay specials. Ebay sells many OEM parts, used and new. Many Toyota dealers have Ebay accounts, many junk yards like LKQ also sell on Ebay, Ebay is just a platform that is comprised of many part sellers. Ebay does not directly sell anything. Any yes Ebay sells these cheap Chinese fuel pumps too. I also want to point out I have installed parts from reputable places and they have turned out defective as well. One time I installed three "new" starters, each one defective. I also have installed many OEM parts from junkyard and they were garbage. Junkyards on some parts are NOT economical, some parts costs as much as a brand new aftermarket part. I don't think this customer is "stupid", everyone is trying to save money, but sometimes things go wrong. We also don't know if the customer has other priorities like paying for rent or paying for his kids schooling. He might not have $400 for an new OEM pump, plus the repair costs. At the end of the day, its easy for all of us arm chair mechanics with MBA's to give opinions, but to be honest, should we call him stupid since he needs a mechanic to fix it? I have not visited a mechanic in decades. I think this is were you get ripped off. This guy probably paid at least $350 at minimum (if not more) for a one hour repair, but everyone is trippin on the Ebay pump.
What year is this camry
When I replaced my toyota celica fuel pump it was 5years ago from advanced it was a car quest and itss still going till this past weekend car dnt wana turn on but I dont think its my fuel pump
Knowing its a fuel problem why didn't u use a fuel guage to show us that it wasn't holding pressure
Diagnosis: Owner is a cheapskate willing to spend more on towing than a reputable mechanic. Some people. . .
Solid
And if I can do it… I can do it
Ha ha, fix it cheap, fix it twice 😂😂
Ebay won't take back damaged stock. Only himself to blame. You would of had him on the road the first time. Makes me laugh. Nice Work like Always.
So this guy could have just bought the good pump with the money he didn’t spend on two tows!
That’s what happens when you want to go cheap
That's what you get for trying to go cheap. The OEM is under $250. Would have been better off just buying the new part and being done with it.
lol iv got this people in my shop all too often funny how they end up spending lot more
This guy is a rube. Trying to save a few bucks and wound up paying more not to mention the aggravation of not having a car longer than what’s necessary.
Sounds like your customer couldn't afford to save any more money
Can't fix stupid.
Thank you Eric for this video. Would you know the mileage the F Pump failed at ? What mileage would you recommend to change the F Pump? ( preventive maintenance)
Too cheep to pay for oem pump but can shell out for 3 tow bills, two pumps and two diags I’m amazed that some people can walk a straight line
eBay part????
Good show!….now ill know what I'm doing tomorrow when I go make that 🧀🧀🧀💲💲💲💲on an O4' camry.
Gotta do your homework if your gonna hustle that cheddar
Thank you for sharing. Great video. I have Toyota Camry hybrid 2014. It was working and I parked the car for 2 months , now it doesn't start. Engine kicks and shuts down. I have check Hybrid systems warning on. I can send you a foto too. Where shall I start checking?
Stupid guy, I used to do the same thing but after paying a very high price, I learned my lesson. Going cheap does not mean that you would save money but waste it.
Does Rock Auto sell OEMs parts.
I agree on your part call for this job. Good job Eric
Great advice, as usual
Whaaaa? A cheap Chinee fuel pump off eBay didn't work? Say it ain't so.
I wouldn't of been able to hide my smile when he came to pick up the vehicle!
It just goes to show you a fool and his money shall soon be departed
Hi dude you are super! I am facing same issue igniton is there but my car does not starts. Where should i look at in first? Aurion 2007
In Spanish "Lo barato te sale caro". Direct translation, "The cheap will be expensive"
Customer is a punk why bring it back for the headache 🤕
Sir i have replaced fuel pump but not starting vehicle
The E-Bay special. We save you money on all you car parts ^^
LOL…there's you problem, lady!
You made a believer out of me, I will spring for the money to save the hassle and expense and wasted time.
In the words of my father….new means never ever worked.
Yup where I'm from we call that a penny wise but a pound foolish. Also what we do is actually replace the pump its self. So we disassemble the whole pump and replace the motorize pump then rebuild and test then deliver.
How can the Chinese make such a powerful and infectious virus but they cant make a functional fuel pump ?
Another fine example showing that we desperately need to teach money management in schools.
Moral of the story: Don't be a cheap bastard!
ZX. Fix.
Can't be the (Evilbay) pump! It's brand new!
She can't be pregnant she's a virgin!
The cheque must have turned up, I posted it last week!
Humans and their endless optimism! Hahaha
