I agree with Bob. I did have one of the earlier electronic pumps and it
quit after just 2 summers of driving. The car would stall out, all other
systems checked out so eventially I went back to the electronic pump I had
put on. It would work for awhile on the bench but after it heated up it
would cut in and out. I got a refund and went back to a points unit for
now. Its great to hear the constant ticking again, insurance I guess.
