problem with s.e.s!

[huynh2165]

I have a saturn 2000 sl1. Last week when i go uphill and acceleration ,the s.e.s come on after that the car feel that loose power. I replace new sparkplugs , wire, front oxy sensor still the same problem. I took my car to saturn ,they said I need a fuel pump and fuel filter. total cost about1000 dollars! What do you thing and can anybody tell me where to find a good fuel pump (the fuel pump in dealer cost 442.48 ) I live in canada. thanks!

local parts store maybe? idk, im not familiar with canada much but i would say local parts store or look online, its gonna be a lot cheaper that way, dealers always charge way to much for everything.

parts stores is kind of a hit and miss thing. some work, but most wont. i lucked out with one from napa, which has been working fine. im not sure on what auto stores you have up there, but i have also had luck with an airtex i think, which is found at carquest.

but im curious, do you know what the codes were? and yes the fuel pump replacement can get expensive because of what has to be done and the pump is expensive because your getting the entire pump/module assembly which is a good dealer part. when i worked in a shop, we wouldnt put any other fuel pump on a car unless the person requested something different which we then couldnt warranty the work because of that.

No, THEY DID NOT GIVE ME THE CODE BUT AS THEY WRITE DOWN THE PSI IS 12 BELOW THE AVERAGE 35-45 PSI. TODAY I REPLACE A NEW FEUL FILTER AND THE SES IS OFF , THE CAR RUNNING FINE!
