I think I need my fuel pump done but Im scared to hear the cost.. I am handy but I dont have those tools to do this kind of work, I also dont have a turbo just a V6 with a 2.5. and Engine 1994. *sigh*
Hi manny can you please tell me where exacty did u get the nibbler, the brand as well, thanks!
Hi,
Great video. Saved a bundle doing this myself. The garage wanted to charge me an 1.5h to replace the pump. I used a sheet metal panel cutter air tool chisel instead of the nibbler. Cut through the floor metal and seam like butter. In all it took me a half hour to replace the pump.Saved a bundle. Thanks.
At the end of the video, there is a ribbed ring visible on the top of the fuel pump. I made a tool out of a six inch diameter drain pipe, and filed notches around the edge that fit the ribs. Then I spun my tool while pressing down, and the ring spun off. Hope that helps.
Did you figure out how to get the pump out? I’m about to try your method and was wondering if I need any other special tools besides the nibbler. Thanks for the useful video!
thanks for this super video it helped me a lot
The seam was only in the tar coating where it overlapped. If you look towards the end of the video, i turn the cut out part over, and there is no seam. The structure of the car was relatively unharmed.
It’s called a floor seam… and you just cut into it. LOL
thanks for your help i ended up giving up and replacing the fuel pump.
The relay box is on the upper left side of the area exposed when you removed the knee guard. From the bottom, it looks like a white frame with wires protruding (the relays are on the top). There’s one holding screw towards the near lower side of it. Once that’s off, it flips down by tugging at it.
The relay is located in the fusebox under the hood. The fuse is located under the kick panel. You can test the relay be removing the fuse and hooking up a voltage meter to the bare connections, and turning over the car. If you get voltage, the relay under the hood is working.
I could not find the relay i took off the knee guard underneath the steering column and no relays just wires. Another thing I know what relays look like.
