Yes that's the engine, although ours is 2011, timing chain on the rear, so engine out to replace, how sick is that, the pump failure we have is not the fuel side but wear/break up on the cam or follower, yet to remove the pump to see for myself, looks to me like early pumps were good but later not so good, do I see Nissan here around 2000?
