Yes, a weak o r failing fuel pump can lead to sputtering, rough idling, and power loss due to inconsistent fuel delivery. Many Hilux owners have experienced this issue, often noticing symptoms like difficulty starting, hesitation during acceleration, o r even stalling. Common causes include wear and tear, clogged fuel filters, o r electrical issues. Replacing the fuel pump with an OEM o r high-quality aftermarket part usually resolves the problem. Some owners also recommend checking the fuel lines and filters during replacement to ensure proper fuel flow and prevent future failures.
