CA >>>Fuel pump help<<<

I'm picking up a rx7 today, 500 bucks! I was told it might need a new fuel pump. He said the car was sitting for a while with gas in it and the gas crystallized, freezing the pump.

Does this sounds right? Could there be anything else wrong with the car?

How would I take the fuel pump out? could I replace it with the one from my Turbo II?

No, not really. It might have a fuel pump problem but his explanation sounds very odd...

Sure, but with no info how would we know what? Does it run at all?

First you should determine if the fuel pump is actually the problem. If it is, the fuel pump is accessible from the metal hatch under the rear carpet. See the FSM for details, it's an easy job.

I'm guessing it's an NA? Yes you can use a TII pump, but I wouldn't leave it there long-term because it would result in richer mixtures compared to the stock pump. Do not buy a Walbro for it...
