The factory fuel pump in your Toyota Yaris has an important job to do. It draws gas from the tank and sends it to the engine, where it mixes with air to provide the combustion needed to propel you down the road.

How Your Fuel Pump Works

When your original fuel pump pulls that gas out, it sends it through fuel lines into your fuel rail. From there, fuel injectors spray the fuel into the engine's cylinder. Depending on your model year, your fuel pump may have a DC motor helping to power the process. An older model may not have that motor, instead featuring a mechanical fuel pump that relies on the engine to create suction and move the fuel along.

How to Spot Fuel Pump Trouble

Even the best fuel pump can eventually go bad, though. Signs of problems include:

Inability to start your car
Reduced fuel efficiency
Faltering engine performance
Squealing noises from your engine
