I swapped a walbro in my s14 and it was working perfect until it began stumbling and cutting out one day. Then it got better(still stumbled a bit) but I noticed the strainer fell off the pump. So I put the strainer back on and the car bogged and stumbled really bad at moderate load/rpms. So I threw the stock pump back in and it ran normal again.
I think my walbro is defective, so I got another for 80 shipped..hopefully this one will work for more than 2 weeks. I've heard others having problems with these pumps as well so you might just have a defective pump.
I heard that if you take it back to walbro they will cut it open and check the internals, if it's a defective pump then they'll replace it...but if the issue is outside of their control like contamination or wrong installation then they charge you 40 bucks.
