@vortex_g1460 3 жыл бұрын

Went to a mechanic and was quoted $714 to get this fixed. The pump they was going to charge me for was $550 plus labor. Went to autozone and bought one for $250. It looks really easy to fix and will do it in the next few days. Will save me a butt load of money.

Took me 2 hours to fix this. The ring didn’t budge after an hour of just tapping it so I had to turn the heat up and hit with more aggression. Finally It budged after 5 minutes with harder hammering.

It was not as easy as you made it look. However, I barely replace my own wipers so with no experience I will say it went well. The hardest part was the lock ring. My daughter assisted me and neither of us could get it to slide. We both tried, this way and that way, different angles, etc... We decided to pry it off with the flat head screwdriver. Just the little metal slot parts. Then lifted the ring off. Took out the old pump, inserted the new one. The old one didn't have the little clip thing so I slid it on as far as I couldthinking it would be fine. It wasn't. I went to a friend's. The gas smell was so strong I almost passed out. But the friend tightened it using a zip tie. He said the ring was fine. And so it is. It starts and drives and that was the goal. Success.

My fuel pump is working fine, but the sending unit isn't showing the correct amount of fuel in the tank. Is it possible to repair the sending unit instead of replacing the entire fuel pump? I know you guys want to sell parts, but if I can fix the sending unit without replacing the entire thing, I'd like to do that. This video makes this a lot easier than I was thinking it was going to be.

Thanks for the video, I have a 2006 Altima 4 cylinder. For quite a awhile sometimes it would take longer to start usually when the car was used during the day, in other wards on a cold morning start i had no starting issues, so I just lived with the sometimes longer starting times ( usually I would just shut the key off and turn key to run position for a couple seconds and then it would start right up. But the other day i was at a stop light and the car surged as though it was stalling but regained immediately and ran fine for a few more days. then once again at a light it stalled for 1 second but regained again and then my service engine soon light came on. My questions are , is there a fuel filter for this car and is it possible i have a weak fuel pump? i have not read the codes yet. I still can get the car running but yesterday was much worst getting it started. I have the car sitting now. 2006 85,000 miles well kept car in hot Florida. Thank you for your time.

What gives? At this point, I have no idea whether the relay is shut, or the pump module itself. Thank You,

Hello there, Nissan Altima 2002 2.5 I have a critical question. I can't do a normal start on the car. Takes 12-16-20 times. And I hear a detonation, smells gas, its not a normal strong start, it's rather weak and bumpy. The throtle body was wet around butterfly intake. I have a p0300 code. Some dude checked the gas pump & said pressure is good. I have no clue what I have to fix/replace??!! HELP!!

TIP: After using a hammer and a screwdriver to get the ring off with great difficulty, I finally got it off but putting the ring back on with the hammer and a screwdriver was even harder. I got my air chisel out and it went on super fast at 100 psi.

Then after few ingnitions the engine starts again. What could be the possible reasons? Could it be fuel pump issue or the gas getting accumulated in the tank? Thats what he said.
