Starting at $966.95, AutoBuffy stocks 2 diesel high pressure oil pumps from Standard Ignition. The high pressure oil pump generates the extreme oil pressure needed to actuate fuel injectors in hydraulically actuated injection systems. When it fails, the engine loses the pressure required to fire injectors reliably, causing hard starts, misfires, and potential no-start conditions.
The main decision is whether to choose an OEM-equivalent remanufactured unit, a new aftermarket pump, or a performance-upgraded pump. Remanufactured units offer cost savings and are suitable for stock applications, while new aftermarket pumps eliminate concerns about a core's condition. If you run modified injectors or higher demands, an upgraded pump with increased flow capacity is worth considering.
| Option | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| New OEM / OE-Supplier | Owners who want exact factory fit and maximum reliability | Direct replacement with original flow rates and sealing specs; highest confidence in longevity |
| Remanufactured (Reman) | Budget-conscious owners with a stock, lower-mileage core available | Rebuilt to OE specs with replaced wear components; requires a core return; lower upfront cost |
| New Aftermarket | Owners without a qualifying core or who want a fresh unit at a mid-range price | Brand-new internals without core dependency; quality varies by brand so choose a reputable supplier |
| High-Flow / Performance Upgraded | Owners running larger injectors, performance tunes, or added accessories | Increased displacement or flow capacity to maintain adequate ICP under elevated demand; may require supporting modifications |
Replacing the high pressure oil pump typically requires removing the intake manifold and valley cover to access the pump mounted in the engine valley or front cover, depending on the engine design. The pump drive must be properly aligned during reinstallation, and all gasket surfaces need thorough cleaning before assembly. After installation, use a scan tool to verify ICP builds to specification during cranking before returning the vehicle to service.
