I replaced mine a couple of weeks ago, and noticed the faster starting at
the least! I know I have multiple problems, so the idle didn't get much
better (nor did the cold throttle response). Anyway, I have the original pump
which I am debating keeping for a long term spare, but I have a feeling
someone else can use it more. Anyone? (the car had 133K miles when the
transplant was done.)
