I don't know if they did any internal cleaning to the pump. The employee said it was cleaned with 'diesel clean' & shelved. What is diesel clean? Is it something used to clean the inside? Like you'd have to take it apart? There was no mention of the pump being resealed or rebuilt (it was being sold as 'removed from running vehicle). I would think that if you cleaned the inside you would at least reseal it & that would be a selling point. ??? This leads me to believe that it was never messed with internally.

Would there be any other reason for no throttle control?

Ill get with the mechanic today to get the above questions answered.

Also, if the pump does turn out to be a junker, do I have any grounds to ask for my money back from the shop? How are these situations normally handled? It was being sold as a pump that came off a running vehicle. If I can get my vehicle to run with it, indicating something wrong with pump, can I return it? Or it is a buyer beware, I'm screwed sorta situation?

Thanks guys.
