Fuel pump issues

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com. The first thing I recommend is to determine if the pump is or truly is not working. To do that, you will check fuel pressure. Here are general directions for checking:

Here is a video showing it being done:

If you find there is no fuel pressure, here are specific directions for removing and replacing the pump. Review the directions to make sure you didn't miss anything. Note: The first five pictures are of the removal process.

If you followed the directions and all things are properly connected, I would check the fuel pump relay. It is located under the hood of the vehicle. I have attached a picture of its location (Picture 8). What to do is switch it with a known good relay in the relay box that has the same part number.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
