The Foemint EN-48896 installation gauge is made to confirm that the camshaft fuel pump lobe is positioned on the base circle so technicians can install the fuel pump with confidence. It fits a range of 2.4L engines from Chevrolet, GMC and Buick models across several model years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tool check fuel pump alignment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gauge slips into the camshaft position to show when the fuel pump lobe is on its base circle, the neutral spot for safe installation.
