Detailed Description

Sparta PN3153 is a standard replacement fuel pump module assembly engineered for higher-mileage and earlier-model vehicles. Backed by Delphi distribution and OE-focused fuel system expertise, it is built to match the fit and performance requirements of the original application. This assembly is designed for gasoline use, mounts inside the tank, and includes the fuel sending unit for accurate fuel level reporting in the vehicle.

Compatible with 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, 1999-2000 Ford Contour, and 1999-2000 Mercury Mystique, PN3153 is a direct-fit service part for common fuel delivery repairs. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps (e.g., E2273M, E2390) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Engine hesitation or stalling from low fuel pressure
• Inaccurate fuel gauge readings from a worn sending unit
• Fuel pump noise from an aging in-tank module
• Driveability issues related to inconsistent fuel flow

Installation Notes and Tips

Install PN3153 in the fuel tank using the included seal and screws, and verify the quick-connect outlet and 1-connector electrical interface before removal of the original module. Confirm tank cleanliness and inspect the wiring and connector condition during service. Because this is a specific-fit assembly, match the vehicle application carefully before installation.
