fuel pump replacement
 

Hey guys, this is going go be short and sweet.

My fuel pump quit. I think this because I don't hear the hum from the tank, and have no pressure in my fuel rail.

Questions.
What is the easiest way to change it myself. Drop the tank or cut a hole in the floor?

And do I need any special tools other than basic wrenches and socket set.

I am looking to do this tomorrow after school. All help us appreciated

pull your rear seat out, there should be an access point that the pump is mounted to the bottom of

^^ Nope it's not a Ford

Drop tank, get pump out

a lot of companies other than ford do this...I'm surprised the alero doesnt have it actually...

some members have MADE a door there. but its definitely not standard.

I wish it was. :glare:

thats what i meant, is it easier to just make a door, or is it easier to drop the tank. i have about 10l of fuel in it

double post*


there is probably little chance that there is a broken wire correct?
i was driving along and then it just died.

Try cleaning the connector next to the wheel well underneath the car.

I love fuel pump threads :p

Yeah, the W-Bodies have it....

How did it die? Only one of the 3 pumps I had replaced died while I was driving. I was on a 35 MPH roadway, and the car started bucking a bit. I pulled over on a side street, stopped, then the car died.

The other 2 died when I started the car.

I'm on number 4 now :glare:

died just the way you said. was driving along, car started bucking and barely running pulled over and then nothing

so to change my pump do i have to drank my tank of gas? someone should make a how to... i might if i can get instructions on how to do this..

check your fuel pump relay under the hood!

i didnt drain my gas tank, mostly because my tank was already empty. its really easy to change the fuel pump. i found the hardest part was getting the fuel lines off
