93 grand cheroke will not start. The engine turns over.Changed fuel pump,stop and fuel relay,cc postion sensor?
Changed fuel pump, fuel pump relay and stop relay, crankcase position sensor, distributor rotor and cap,spark plugs and wires. I took cap off of fuel pump relay and pushed in contacts and fuel pump comes on but when I go to start by turning the key, the starter cranks but the fuel pump will not come on. The experts say its the crankcase position sensor but I replaced this also.|||if you can hear the fuel pump running then maybe the fuel filter is stopping the fuel from reaching the engine. how is the spark? do you have good spark at the plugs? it might be the coil or module if you have no spark. if you have fuel reaching the engine then it,s got to be spark.|||Ignition switch trust me its very common and cost less than $20 dollars.
Changing fuel pump on 2000 s10 4wd?
THE FUEL PUMP IS IN THE TANK. SUPPORT THE TANK WITH A FLOOR JACK (PREFERABLY WHEN IT IS EMPTY). LOOSEN THE TWO BOLTS (ONE AT THE END OF EACH STRAP ACROSS THE TANK). LOWER THE TANK ABOUT 6 OR 8 INCHES (JUST ENOUGH TO GET YOUR ARMS ABOVE IT). REACH IN AND DISCONNECT THE THREE LINES AND 2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS IN THE CENTER OF THE TANK GOING TO THE TOP OF THE PUMP. ALSO DISCONNECT THE HOSES GOING TO THE ROLLOVER VALVES ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. LOWER THE TANK THE REST OF THE WAY AND SLIDE IT OUT. TURN THE METAL RING ON THE TOP OF THE TANK ABOUT AN 1/8 TURN AND PULL THE SENDING UNIT STRAIGHT UP. THE PUMP IS IN THIS UNIT. IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY. PUT THE NEW ONE IN AND PUT EVERYTHING BACK THE SAME WAY IT CAME OUT. AND YOU%26#039;RE DONE.

Information on changing a fuel pump to a '94 Chrystler Shadow?
on most Chrysler%26#039;s you have to buy the couplet unit to get the fuel pump but to put it in . You will have to drop the gastank then where the lines go to the tank you will see a big round peace that looks like a jar lid take that off and pull out the old pump unit and replace it with the new one then put your tank back on and check it for leaks|||I think the fuel pump is in the tank. I don%26#039;t know for sure on that model, but, on most Chrysler cars the pump is in the tank. The tank will have to be removed from the vehicle to gain access. Good luck.....hope this helps.
Changing the fuel pump on a Dodge Avenger...?
My Dodge Avenger needs a fuel pump replacement. It is a 1999 Avenger Sport with a 2.5 liter V6. Any Chrysler mechanics out there with a some insight on this job?
Thanks!|||This isn%26#039;t a real good one for anybody without a LOT of experience in fuel system work.
Your fuel pump is in the gas tank, and is part of a unit that combines the pump and fuel level sensor.
The vehicle must be raised, supported, and the fuel removed, prior to dropping the gas tank.
The vapors are the most danger, as a single spark in the right circumstances will be the worst nightmare of your life.
If you do try this yourself, be sure to have a least one other person around with an A/B/C/ rated fire extinguisher in hand.
Brass punches are used to unscrew the retaining ring on the tank to pull the unit, so if you%26#039;re not VERY confident in dealing with a potentially explosive environment, this job is best left to a pro.

I am changing my engine its the same engine but my old one is EFI this one is not do i change the fuel pump?
I agree that you should take all of the external parts from the original engine and put them on the replacement. If you have fuel injection, then the pump is in the gas tank, and you need to remove the mechanical one from the replacement. Keep in mind that if you have to pass a smog check, most states will fail it if you put the wrong year engine in it. Where I live you cant put that engine in because it is older than the vehicle.|||The pump for the efi may be a high pressure one, while the one for the carby model may be a mechanical, or low pressure one.check with whoever supplied the motor, they should be able to say.|||the way to do it would be to transfer parts from old engine to new engine if it can be done getting rid of the EFI is just opening another can of worms like it may not be legal|||if ur intending 2 keep ur motor fuel injected u need 2 eliminate the fuel pump on the motor but not the electronic one in the gas tank...also use the upper and lower intake, and distributer from the EFI... again... that is if ur intending 2 keep it fuel injected
Do I have to drop the tank on my 95 Ford Thunderbird to change the fuel pump?
Do I need to drop the tank to access the fuel pump %26amp; change it on my 95 Ford Thunderbird or is there a site plate hidden somewhere maybe under the backseat or in the trunk that will allow me to change the pump without dropping the tank?|||some fords have the access plate. lift up the back seat if you don%26#039;t see one than yes you have to drop the tank. if you do have to drop the tank put some penatraiting oil on the bolts to try to keep them from breaking because they are usually rusted.|||If the fuel pump is located in the gas tank you do.

After changing the fuel pump and filter my tractor won't start. Prime carb it starts,stops.any ideas?
2005 L120 john deere 22HP v-twin|||For some reason you are not getting fuel to the carburetor. Could be air in the line is stopping the pump from getting fuel. I would disconnect the fuel line and let some gas run out than hook it back up.|||is there gas in the carb now? could be a stuck float or dirt in the jet.|||okay this may not be the answer for you but if it is a in line filter (make sure it is facing the right direction)
some filters look unidirectional but they have a small hole on one end and if you turn it the wrong way
it blocks fuel flow.

How do you change a fuel pump in a 2002 dodge caravan?
I think that the fuel pump is bad and I need to change it. I can not find any info on how the best way(and safest) is to change the pump. Any help would be appreciated!|||well you dident say if it was a carb or fuel injection.
If it fuel injection then you will have to drop the gas tank as the pump is insider the tank.
This is not hard unless you have a lot of gas in it.
But my advice is DO NOT DO IT IF YOU NEVER HAVE . It is a little trickey trying to get it down with a lot of gas.|||A lift and transmission jacks to hold the tank in place.|||As far as safety is concerned, take it to a dealer or shop. You have to remove the fuel tank to get to the fuel pump. It would be easier to have the car on a lift. It would be easier, also to have a tank jack. The fumes from the gas would make it very dangerous. I recommend you have a professional do it and they would be liable for any problems, ideally.|||If you are planning on doing it yourself, the fuel tank must be removed as the fuel pump is inside the tank. Use a brass punch and hammer to remove the lock ring holding the pump in.
I prefer changing them when the tank is near empty. Not always possible, so I have a catch can (barrel at times) underneath to catch gas as it flows out once the ring is removed.
A new oring should be installed with the new pump and make sure the lock ring is fully seated.
Whatever you do, don%26#039;t smoke around it (if you or anyone else there does). Fuel lines going to the pump can be removed by squeezing the plastic lock on them.
It is an realtively easy job at the shop, but a lot harder if you are trying to do it at home.
Seriously, consider having it done.

Changing fuel pump rod slid down how do I get it back up?
1978 chevy 350|||Heres a great tip for the falling rod..
Chevy put a fuel pump rod holder on the block. Most just don%26#039;t know about it.
Look at the front on block, right there at the corner next to the fuel pump.
You will see 2 bolt holes. Most times 1 will have a bolt in it and other will not.
That upper bolt hole is a direct feed to the fuel pump rod well. If you remove and leave out bolt that hole will squite a stream of oil out.
If you take that bolt out and screw in a longer 3/8%26quot; thread bolt, the longer bolt will hit/push right against the rod and hold it in place once you take pump off.
No more messing with grease to hold it up. Just tighten up a longer bolt in that top hole on front of block.
Now as to the askers question. You could take the plate off. The way the pump bolts up is.. Block has big open hole, steel plate and gasket bolts on to block with 2 smll bolts.. Fuel pump then sits on that plate and bolts to block with 2 larger bolts.
If you cant get the rod up, just remove the plate and rod will slide right out into your hand.
You should be able to get a small flat blade screwdrive up uder edege of rod though and push it up some w/o taking plate off.
Engine needs to be turned so the cam is not trying to push rod down. The cam has a lobe on it that looks like a rounded off triangle, as engine turns that lobe moves in a circle and the peak of lobe press rod all the way down to work pump.
Once you get rod up, push it up in the hole and hold it there with your index finger as you have a buddy to turn the engine with a breaker bar and 5/8%26quot; socket on center bolt of crank closewise. You will feel the rod move up and down. Tell him to stop when rod is up
Now just use the bolt trick I mentioned to hold rod in place.. Bolt on fuel pump. Remove long bolt and replace with stock short one in that hole|||I%26#039;d get a long magnet and see if you can reach it that way.|||that sucks. Long slim needlenosed pliers or a tiny magnet glued to a pick or something.|||As I recall, the push rod slides %26quot;up%26quot; into the block and rests on a eccentric on the camshaft to move the pump plunger.
The biggest problem I%26#039;ve had is getting the rod to stay up in the guide as I%26#039;m installing the pump.
I usually coat the outside of the rod with grease to hold it in place briefly.
So I%26#039;m not sure what you%26#039;re having problems with.
It should simply slide back in at a high angle.|||I had that same problem with my 78 chevy K-10 (350) a couple of months ago, I took the rod out, plastered it with a heavy grease and slid it back up and the grease held it there until I could line up the pump and insert it, pain in the butt to replace a $25.00 part. It worked and that small amount of grease won%26#039;t hurt anything, learned from someone who used butch wax years ago for the same thing

Ford sells the pump and sender as a unit (which is why it is a little more expensive), some jobbers sell the pump and pick up as a partial unit and some sell just the pump itself....the main problem with buying just a pump is that NO ONE sells the connector seals that lock the pump to the pick up assembly and these are often damaged when removing the pump from the unit.

96' Ford explorer Changing fuel Pump W/labor ballpark price ??
I need new fuel pump installed, garage says over $400.00 W/labor. Is this 2 much to pay? He also stated parts might break due to rust. So possible extra cost.
Can this be done yourself, if mecanicly incline ?
Have u done It ?|||Disconnect the fuel pump switch, probably behind the back of the passenger side kick panel. This will disengage the fuel pump power to the fuel pump. Crank the vehicle over to expel the pressure from the fuel lines. Disconnect the battery.
Jack her up, drop the spare tire, put a floor jack under the tank, remove the fuel cap, drain the tank and unbolt the fuel filler.
Then remove the two strap bolts that hold the tank in the vehicle with some WD-40 and a good wratchet. If you break one of those bolts or you strip them, use a nut removal tool from Sears. Bolts are available at the auto parts shop.
Drop the tank down on the floor jack carefully and use a fuel coupling removal tool from the auto parts store. They%26#039;re plastic rings that fit into the couplings, where the lines come out of the tank.
Push in, then out. The fuel lines come off.
Drop the tank down with the floor jack, then knock the ring securing the fuel pump and lines to the tank with a mallet and a screwdriver or punch. (the new fuel pump will have this ring, so don%26#039;t worry about ruining it) This will be the second problem with rusty removal, after you conquer the tank strap nuts...
Remove the old fuel pump, install the new one, hook up the power connections and hoses again before you raise the tank totally back into it%26#039;s position, and install in the reverse order.
That%26#039;s it!
Now, is the job worth $400.00 WITH labor?
That%26#039;s up for YOU to decide now that you know what is involved...|||A friend just had his 1996 Ford Explorer fail to start until I hit the gas tank with a hammer while he cranked the motor over. That sometimes gets it going so you don%26#039;t have to tow it to the mechanic. Sounds like it%26#039;s an epidemic this time of year!
The price you were quoted sounds fair. Advanced auto has a price of $215.25 for the pumps in US made vehicles with the beginning Vin number being a 1.
The Mexico vehicles with a 2 for the first number of the Vin costs $178.22.
The gas tank has to come out, it%26#039;s a pain in the butt and I won%26#039;t try to do the job with out a lift.
Your mechanic sounds fair and reliable.|||Yes you can do it yerself. I%26#039;d recommend a shortcut that many shops (including dealerships) take. Instead of dropping the gas tank, cut a 3 sided flap,6 inch x 6 inch, in the floor. You don%26#039;t even have to empty the tank. When you%26#039;re done push floor back %26amp; seal%26#039;er. =^ )|||Depends...
Ford factory pump is $300
labor is usually about 2 1/2 hours ..at $80/hour thats $200
Plus fuel filter and such.. that%26#039;s a minimum $550 job at a dealer.
Watch out on the aftermarket fuel pumps, I know autozone and some others will sell you just the pump motor, but I persoanlly rather change the whole assy as around that time the fuel pressure regualtor moved to the fuel pump.
and I%26#039;ve done it on many explorers....

(the new fuel pump will have this ring, so don%26#039;t worry about ruining it) This will be the second problem with rusty removal, after you conquer the tank strap nuts...
Remove the old fuel pump, install the new one, hook up the power connections and hoses again before you raise the tank totally back into it%26#039;s position, and install in the reverse order.
That%26#039;s it!
Now, is the job worth $400.00 WITH labor?
That%26#039;s up for YOU to decide now that you know what is involved...|||A friend just had his 1996 Ford Explorer fail to start until I hit the gas tank with a hammer while he cranked the motor over. That sometimes gets it going so you don%26#039;t have to tow it to the mechanic. Sounds like it%26#039;s an epidemic this time of year!
The price you were quoted sounds fair. Advanced auto has a price of $215.25 for the pumps in US made vehicles with the beginning Vin number being a 1.
The Mexico vehicles with a 2 for the first number of the Vin costs $178.22.
The gas tank has to come out, it%26#039;s a pain in the butt and I won%26#039;t try to do the job with out a lift.
Your mechanic sounds fair and reliable.|||Yes you can do it yerself. I%26#039;d recommend a shortcut that many shops (including dealerships) take. Instead of dropping the gas tank, cut a 3 sided flap,6 inch x 6 inch, in the floor. You don%26#039;t even have to empty the tank. When you%26#039;re done push floor back %26amp; seal%26#039;er. =^ )|||Depends...
Ford factory pump is $300
labor is usually about 2 1/2 hours ..at $80/hour thats $200
Plus fuel filter and such.. that%26#039;s a minimum $550 job at a dealer.
Watch out on the aftermarket fuel pumps, I know autozone and some others will sell you just the pump motor, but I persoanlly rather change the whole assy as around that time the fuel pressure regualtor moved to the fuel pump.
and I%26#039;ve done it on many explorers....
After changing the fuel pump why is my 1999 ford expidition not starting ? (It cranks but wont start)?
Fuse? There is a schrader valve ( like a big tire valve stem) on the injection rail. get a rag and press down on the center of it quickly, If the fuel sprays out then you are getting pressure to the injectors and your problem lies elsewhere. possibly a bad ground or wiring problem. You should also be able to hear the fuel pump %26quot;whirring%26quot; in the tank when you cycle the key on. The fuel filters as well on some of these trucks is hidden behind a plate on the frame rail near the torsion bar crossmember and rarely get serviced. Hope some of that helps. Good luck.|||fuel probably haven%26#039;t made it to the injectors and make sure ever thing is on properly|||sometimes when changing ford fuel pumps, you will have to re-set the inertia switch located on the inside left rear inner trim panel. good luck
Changing Range Rover Classic Fuel Pump?
I think i am going to have to change the fuel pump on my RRC. I went to start it today after being off roading yesterday, it started first thing and then spluttered to a hault. I tried starting a good few times again, the starter motor was turning but i couldn%26#039;t get it to fire up. There was NO smell of petrol and i couldn%26#039;t hear the normal noise of the pump running. Do you think this is defo the problem? If so is the pump located in the tank??

I need to change the fuel pump on my S-10. I was wondering if it would be easyer to drop the tank, or to pull the bed off?|||drop the tank, there are just a few bolts (usually 2), to remove..if you take off the bed, then your looking at around 12+ or more bolts..
at least if the tank strap bolts are rusty, just cut them, and after the tank is off, put new bolts in..(use stainless if you can get them..to make life easier in the future)..

Be very careful if you really plan to do this yourself. I%26#039;ve replaced many fuel pumps on Sunfires and I wouldn%26#039;t want to do this job at home. Once the tank is out, you have to remove the fuel pump module from the tank. The fuel pump module seal has to be installed correctly or it will leak.

Need info on changing fuel pump on mercedes s500 yr 2000?
I need to change the fuel pump and filter, location, and any how too would help thanks in advance|||Fuel pump is in the rear of the car. Should be a black plastic cover over it and the fuel filter. However are you sure its the pump? On that model car the pump does not turn on unless the car tells it that everything is working. Have seen problems with the crank sensor going out. Car sees no signal from it thus it does not turn the pump on. Also check the fuse to the coils they some times blow again the car sees no ignition so it does not turn the pump on.
Start by checking to see that you get power to the pump when cranking. If not look you need to see why the car is not sending power to it. Also do not be shocked by the price of the fuel filter in that car it has a pressure regulator built in dealer list is $116.00

Is it easier to change a fuel tank complete with pump than just changing a fuel pump on a 1993 Buick Century?
It%26#039;s a wash, because you have to take the tank out to put in the pump anyway. You should probably just get the pump and put it in so you don%26#039;t have to buy a tank too. Save some money. Unless the tank is rusted through, but if it ain%26#039;t broke, don%26#039;t fix it.|||same..u drop tank..replace pump...or drop tank..put new pump in new tank ...and replace...|||Since the tank has to be dropped to access the pump there really is not much difference. However if you just replace the pump there are about eight screws to remove around the pump sealing gasket. I have a sneaky suspicion that you have worded this wrong and mean to replace the pump and tank sending unit instead of pump and tank. Then the easiest would be to replace the whole unit.|||I%26#039;m guessing that a 93 century probably has a pretty rusty tank depending on where you live. If it is, and it%26#039;s leaking, you probably have to replace the sending unit assembly anyways because the lines are probably rusted up pretty bad where they come out of the sending unit and attach to the vehicle. Either way, If you use gm parts,and I highly suggest that you do unless you like dropping the tank to change the pump, the sending unit will probably come without the pump on it. You%26#039;ll probably have to order the pump separate. If you were to change the whole tank with a pump already installed, there is no way I would use the pump that%26#039;s in there. No telling what shape that pump is in. If the tank is not rusted and leaking, don%26#039;t replace it. If the sending unit lines are not rusted off and leaking and you can get them loose with out breaking them, then just replace the pump. It%26#039;s not that hard. but like I said, the lines are probably going to be rusted and will break upon trying to loosen them so I would plan I buying a sending unit along with a new pump. A complete assembly with a pump included is probably available in the aftermarket, but aftermarket pumps fail far too often to not go with OEM.

But doing what you said sure couldn%26#039;t hurt it.|||Try this: get some carb cleaner from the auto parts store.remove the filter housing around what we in the automotive mechanics business affectionately called the throttle body. what happens is over time the thang get all gummy and won close the flap, if that flap do not close then them air get into the mix and fluctuates the engine RPMs. this can cause the motor to die at a stop when the air conditioner is running. It is an easy fix. just clean the flap with the spray while moving the throttle linkage. be sure to put back the air filter housing onto the throttle body before starting the vehicle. It will be as if you had a tuneup.|||I doubt that fuel filter or pump is the problem. maybe fuel filter if it is completely clogged.
The first thing I would do is clean out the throttle body (small can of $2 carb cleaner, disconnect intake at throttle body, and clean the throttle plate) It should take 30 minutes or so. If you have not change fuel filter in last 50K miles, then I would change that as well.
If that does not fix the problem, then I would look at fuel pressure regulator. Pressure test the fuel system to make sure that the fuel pressure regulator is working properly.

After changing the fuel pump in my 86 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z does the fuel lines need to be vented? How?
Is it vented from under the hood and if so where? |||it should be already vented on the charcoal canister.|||the charcoal canister on some cars are located under the hood by the inner fender on the drivers side. check there. if your having trouble then it might be a broken hose or the filter under the canister needs changing.

How do i go about changing a fuel pump on a 1994 delta 88 lss?
hi i was wondering how hard it is to do, and what i have to do to remove the tank. Thanks!|||I understand your saying the fuel pump is in the gas tank. Drain the gas out of the tank and then take the tank out. Then there is a large ring on top of the gas tank and to release it most of the time turn counter clock wise but you need to hit it with small hammer first by tapping it around to get it loose to turn). The whole unit will come out. The fuel pump is on that. Buy a new fuel pump and the instruction will be with it ; to put a new one it.

Changing a fuel pump in a 87 chevy 1/2 ton P/U Step Side?
Has anyone changed afuel pump in an 87 Chevy 1/2 ton P/U,Truck ran fine for about 4 mnths then went to start it and all it would do is turn over,as soon as I put fuel down the carb it would start but then would die when fuel was exhausted.Any Sugs?|||fuel filter would be a better place to start.... could be a bad hose pumps going bad is rare but it does happen .... take off a line and try cranking after you change the filter.. should shoot a good spray its ok|||I recently changed the fuel pump on my 1500 1/2 ton Chevy pick up. Its no fun. Make sure you have all the fuel out. Then its take the mounting straps and the electric and the hoses off. The biggest problem you%26#039;ll have is the amount of fuel left. I would suggest getting a book so you won%26#039;t screw up so badly or get something out of order. Its not hard just bulky. When you get the tank off, get a brass drift and unloosen the top. Don%26#039;t use steel, it might spark and explode. Make sure all the dirt and stuff is off the hole where you unscrew it on top. Take your time.|||You could also remove the bed of the truck if you have the help to remove the bed. Usually four to six bolts hold the bed on and then it weighs a hundred or two pounds 2 - 3 people could probably remove it.
I'm changing the fuel pump and want to get the debris out of the tank What is the best thing to flush it with?
The tank is already out and the inside of it looks clean. there is debris floating around in it. It has sat for a while and this is obviously not the first pump they have installed I say they because i just bought the truck yesterday I%26#039;m lookin for a cheap simple solution.|||I%26#039;m sorry Guys but ..................DON%26#039;T TAKE THE TANK APART ! AND DON%26#039;T USE ACID ON IT ! If the stuff in the tank is just floating around then tip the tank up on one corner and siphon the gas out of it. Then all you have to do is either get a rag on a stick and wipe the tank clean or let it dry and vacuum it out. If the tank is rusty inside then it should go to a shop to be boiled out and then resealed inside with a special coating that is not Patroleum solluable. or just find a better tank.|||Glad I could Help ! huntnyou
|||u gotta take it all apart.......sand blast......dry overnight at least.....there is no such thing as the corner-cutting solution u want.....|||Acid work wonders.
But be cautious as it burns.|||You can dump all the gass out and spray out with water let it dry then spray carbrator cleaner in evaporats fast.|||Take about a gallon of fresh gas, seal the tank up, shake it like its a matter of life and death, and then pour the gas out through a hole that allows you to remove the junk as well. Gas tanks can be a pain, but this has been what I%26#039;ve done with snowmobile tanks for years and I always get satisfactory results.

97 Chevy 1500 5.7L Vortex will not start after changing fuel filter and pump.?
My truck started to start hard. Then it got to the point where I needed to prime the throttle body with gas to start. After a day, I would need to prime again. Then it would not start at all. I changed the fuel filter and now the fuel pump with the same problem. I find the spark from the coil wire is very weak and yellow/orange in color. Any clues?|||you may need to replace the coil or check the grounding points on your engine|||Most likely the fuel metering valve has went out. It is located under the upper intake (plenum). Rather expensive common problem, part list is around $400.|||if spark is orange, that is a sign of a weak spark or a large gap that the coil is trying to bridge. on many of the gm cars, if the computer does not see a spark it will not trigger the injectors. with out spark the computer may not send a signal to the fuel pump relay.
2001dodge stratus & it won't crank after changing the fuel pump and crankshaft sensor. What's the problem?
I was driving home and it started misfiring and I couldn%26#039;t accelerate. The next morning and it would crank but idle rough and skipping and then shut off. When I tried to drive it, it would go a few feet and shut off. I changed the fuel pump and then they said it wasn%26#039;t getting any fire. Then I changed the crankshaft position sensor, and it won%26#039;t crank. So do I need to replace an Engine Valve?|||Replacing parts based on guesses is a poor strategy as you are finding out. Pay for a proper diagnosis, it will be cheaper.....|||Check to see if the battery is any good and also check the alternator,try jumping it and if it starts and runs then check the alternator to make sure it is putting out at least 14 volts.|||no, you don%26#039;t need to replace anything until you run some tests. would you be happy if you went to a Doctor because you felt sick and him tell you that you need a kidney transplant without running any tests? Pull the upstream O2 sensor, and then try to start it. If it starts up you have a restricted exhaust, probably caused by a defective catalatic converter. (which could result from a miss fire) If this doesn%26#039;t work, then put a vaccum gauge on it and turn the engine over with the starter. I assume that by crank you mean start and run because nothing you say you have done would cause the engine not to turn over by the starter. if their is a valve train problem the vaccum gauge will fluctuate a lot, if the engine is a 4 cylinder, it may fluctuate a little anyway, a valve problem will cause it to fluctuate a lot.|||After listen ur complain. Please check ur crankshaft sensor, be sure that u have assembly the right way, the right configuration, the notch on ur gear have %26quot;meet%26quot; the notch at the engine block. U miss one teeth, it won%26#039;t start untill u make it right. Valve doesn%26#039;t have connection to missfiring and skipping, the worst news is only u drive rough and knocking and less power.
What's the cost of changing the fuel pump on a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer?

Any good and cheap mechanics in the area/?|||Before you do anything, take your TrailBlazer to a reputable mom-and-pop mechanic in the local area. Avoid the dealer unless the vehicle is still under warranty -- dealerships charge top dollar and do crappy work. You want to be 100% sure it%26#039;s the fuel pump before you invest any money in it, and it may be a number of other things (sounds like an electrical problem to me). If it is the fuel pump, you%26#039;re looking at around $400.00 for the fuel pump plus the labor to replace it. The TrailBlazer has an in-tank fuel pump, so be prepared to pay $600.00 to $800.00 for labor.|||You%26#039;re looking about 800-850 dollars.|||Your probably looking at about 2500 dollars.|||From what you said, most likely, it%26#039;s the fuel pump. Don%26#039;t replace any part unless it%26#039;s broken or wornout. You can test the fuel pump%26#039;s flow %26amp; psi at the fuel rail.Shops charge to empty %26amp; remove the gas to replace the pump.BUT There%26#039;s a really cool short cut that even the dealerships do. Cut a 3 sided, 6%26quot;x6%26quot; flap in the floor %26amp; peel the sheetmetal back.Change the pump, push the floor back %26amp; seal it. =^ )|||ITS 2 YEARS OLD .

Can changing a fuel filter cause the fuel pump to break?
I know it sounds stupid to me too, but I heard somewhere that if your fuel filter is changed it can break the pump because the pump is used to working with a clogged fuel filter. Is this true? I just don%26#039;t want to be worried that I could be messing up the fuel pump.|||No,changing and in line fuel filter will not cause the pump to %26quot;break%26quot;,
Its designed as a maintenence item that can be changed at certain intervals.
If the fuel pump goes out,it wont be because of changing the filter.|||Well if you don%26#039;t charge the fuel filter and your vehicle requires it yes you can because you will be running your pump dry and will overheat and die. A few years back shell was using an additive that ruined pumps on many Chrysler vehicles the reason was it would dry out the filters and the pumps would run dry overheat and die. Problem has been fixed but that shows that it can happen. The tranny thing someone mentioned that is crap, no matter what as long as you replace the old fluid you will always have a working tranny, even if you only change it once every 300,000 miles would let it go that long but get my point.|||%26quot;Sorry but that doesn%26#039;t Happen!%26quot;|||Its the opposite. Not changing your fuel filter will surely destroy your pump. Some brand new cars do not have a serviceable filter but if your does change it.|||I have heard that about tranny fluid.. if you run it way too long without changing it, and then change it your tranny goes (true) but never about fuel filters...
Unless some cars have the fuel filter built into the pup - but never heard of that either... specially since most are in tank these days...

Can a battery cause your fuel pump to stop working after changing fuel filter?
96 chevy subr died tighten battery cables ran fine restarted the truck and put it gear died again someone said to change fuel filter did so, fuel pump ran for a few seconds truck still wouldnt crank now the pump stop working altogther|||No. When you first turn the key on the pump only runs for 2 seconds to pressurize the system then shuts off. It will only pump with the engine cranking and while its running.
I%26#039;m confused by your question though. What was the original problem? The engine didn%26#039;t crank over from loose battery cables?....or.....It keeps dying because you really do need a fuel pump but tightened the battery cables?|||seems that you have a short, try using a multimeter in serial to check pump amperage, so you would know if is good or not, try also drop voltage on your battery.|||You make it sound like the truck has a electric fuel pump, There is a high pressure cut off on electric fuel pump,to stop the pump if the engine does not start. Why did you have to be messing with the battery cables. It now could be any thing. why was the engine running while you were tighten the cables, you could have burn out a fuse or something. start over, and check all. You can leak down the fuel pressure at a fitting on the rail, but if you do not know what you are doing you could start a fire. Does the battery still have a charge? If it does then the fuel pump should be working When you say the truck will not crank do you mean the engine will not turn over or it will not run? If it does not turn over, then recheck the cable clamp and battery. if it will not run, i can not help with what you have giving me to work with.|||No it can not.
You change the filter. But was the pump workihg correctly before?A clogged filter can kill a fuel pump.If you blow through the inlet of a good one, it has no restiction at all.

Why wont my truck start after changing machanical fuel pump? 1986 small block chevy?
I changed my fuel pump with a new one and now it wont start. i took of the line and its not pumping fuel. I made sure the push rod was all the way up with grease but the gap wont close all the way up against the block. any ideas???|||have you checked the pick up tube coming out of the tank for being plugged up or the fuel filter.And one other thing is the fuel pump rod the same length as the one you have in the engine block to operate the pump.There might be different size rod but the other thing you can do is take some starting fluid and spray down in the carb and get the engine to start up in which while you do this it might get the fuel pump rod to operate the fuel pump to pump fuel.The rod rides on the cam lobe to make it pump the fuel.|||Take the pump back off and push the rod up into the block. Slide the pump back in and tighten the bolts evenly. If the rod stays up the pump will mount up flush with the block.|||the push rod is not all the way n u should b able to make it go up agaist the block b 4 bolting r u may have 2 get a spacer plate|||you may want to pull the pump back off and see if the rod is stuck and not coming down if it is up and not coming down it wont let the pump sit flush with the block and it wont pump fuel|||It sounds like the lever is on the wrong side of the cam. Remount the pump, slipping it in so there is spring resistance as you line up the bolts. You will also want to be sure the float bowl is full of gasoline or it will take an awful lot of cranking to get the pump to prime and the float bowl to fill enough to run the engine. The float bowl is filled through the vent, or better yet, by connecting a hose to the carburetor inlet and putting gas into the hose until it won%26#039;t take any more.|||could be the wrong pump check that its IDENTICAL

Im trying to change the fuel filter in my1998 gmcsafari.I pulled the fuel pump fuse to relieve the pressure while engine is running but after I remove the fuse the engine just keeps running.Afraid to remove the filter because I think its still pressurized.Any suggestions please!|||I%26#039;d suggest pulling the relay rather than the fuse, but it will continue to run for a bit until it has used the fuel in the line. Just let it run until it dies.|||i wouldn%26#039;t be afraid of the pressure in the filter, is in minimal, it will not cause any damage to you or anything else, when removing the filter there will be a little squirt of petrol, but nothing massive, so dont worry.
there is no need to depressurize the fuel filter
hope this helps|||Just go to the fuel rail and remove the cap on the fuel rail valve to get the pressure out of the system.
