Fuel Pump Replacement - Toyota Camry V6

This video will show you how to replace the fuel pump on a 2007 Toyota Camry V6 with the 2GR-FE engine. The procedure is similar with other Toyota and Lexus vehicles with slight variations. The customer had been complaining of slight engine hesitation under hard acceleration. The ignition system was checked and there were no stored MIL codes. The fuel pump, however, was putting out erratic pressure readings (not deviating more than 5 psi) and the customer agreed to have the pump replaced with a new OEM Denso pump. This Camry had over 170,000 miles and perhaps exhibiting its age via a "lazy" fuel pump. After the pump had been replaced, the acceleration problem disappeared and the customer noted a increase in engine response. Bottom Line: Don't wait for the fuel pump to fail on a high mileage old vehicle. Get ahead of a potential problem with a fuel pump replacement PM (Preventative Maintenance) procedure.
* Note: Always replace the fuel pump strainer with a new fuel pump.
Addendum comment and recommendation from one of our loyal viewers:
"When you're ready to remove the fuel line, start the vehicle, remove the fuel pump's electrical connection & allow the car to continue running until the fuel that was still in the line between the pump & the engine has been used, at which point the engine will stop running. This step will dramatically reduce the amount of fuel spillage from the removal of the fuel line."

1) Make sure you disconnect the battery 2) Release pressure from the fuel tank by opening the fuel cap before doing this and that will stop the fuel pouring out

@hardlymovingpro 4 жыл бұрын

You don't have to disconnect the battery. Everyone wants to feel safe by unnecessarily disconnecting the battery. If you really want to avoid any fuel spill, disconnect the plug from the fuel pump assembly, start the car and let it run until the engine stalls out from fuel starvation. Removing the fuel cap does nothing.

I am a girl and I used this video to successfully replace my filter and pump. Yayay I recommend getting some paper towels and gloves and an old tooth brush. I used the old tooth brush to clean off the top so it didn't get dirt in the fuel. Then I stuffed the area around the hole with paper towels. This kept me from loosing at least three screws down there. If I wouldn't have stuffed it with paper towels I'd have been screwed. Pun intended haha😁 Thanks for the awesome video and answering my questions No one would have fixed my car on Christmas and I wouldn't be able to go to work. Thanks, you're the best.

Where can I get the tool you use for disconnecting the electrical plug, I saw another video and this guy actually broke the locking tab and I don't want to do that, the reason I need to remove the fuel pump on my 1998 Toyota Camry le 4cylinder is because there's a gas leak on top of the fuel pump it looks like is coming from the fuel line but I need to remove the electrical connector first and then the 8mm bolts to have a better look at it, fortunately for me I got another 1998 Toyota Camry that I'm not driving and I'm going to have the junkyard get rid of it but the fuel pump from that car is perfectly fine so I'm just going to remove the whole unit from one car and install it on the other more likely that will take care of the leak, the only challenge I see is disconnecting the electrical connector and the also the fuel line locking tabs on the fuel line hose.

Good, informative video. 👍🏻 Don't know if you can edit a video that has already been uploaded but if not, maybe you could add the following tip to the description. When you're ready to remove the fuel line, start the vehicle, remove the fuel pump's electrical connection & allow the car to continue running until the fuel that was still in the line between the pump & the engine has been used, at which point the engine will stop running. This step will dramatically reduce the amout of fuel spillage from the removal of the fuel line. 👌🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

Yes. You're absolutely correct. But as strange as it may sound, I used the leaked fuel to blow off the accumulated debris with compressed air in lieu of using an aerosol brake clean solvent. I'll still add your tip to the description.

When the flood of my fuel line removal started, I plugged it back in & remembered the "run it dry trick". Years ago, we'd use gasoline to clean wheel bearings for repacking, so it makes sense that you were able to clean it with the spilled gas. 👍🏻

Actually the opposite. The gas in your tank keeps your fuel pump from overheating. Running your tank to empty overheats the electric pump.

Great video! Could a bad fuel pump possibly cause a P0430 code (catalyst efficiency below threshold)? I have a 2002 Camry V6 (176K miles) with this code, and thought maybe my catalytic converter was plugged up, as the performance has been lacking. It passed the back pressure test with flying colors, so now I'm wondering about the likelihood of a plugged fuel filter or bad fuel pump. I couldn't locate a schrader valve to do a fuel pressure test, so now I'll try to find out how to test the pump. Thanks!

@hardlymovingpro Жыл бұрын

Nope. P0430 isn't a fuel related problem. Have your converter checked out. If the input temp into the cat is the same as the output temp, your converter isn't working anymore.

I'm thinking about replacing the original fuel pump on my 190k miles 1999 ES300 (and the other fuel filter within the pump too.. is that a good idea?). I have no codes, but feel hesitation sometimes. I also climb slow up hills and hope it's a fuel pressure thing. Something about testing fuel pressure in the service manual confuses me though. It says to "buy a new No1 fuel pipe and take out the fuel tube connector" 23801-20060 (23801-20061)" and proceed with the fuel pressure testing directions with that fuel tube connector. Why would I need to buy a new one if my car already has this fuel tube connector on it, and the fuel pressure testing only uses 1 of these?

A habit of running the fuel tank to empty ruins fuel pumps. People don't realize that fuel in the tank serves as a coolant for the pump. Another cause may be too much back pressure from a clogged fuel filter (that's integrated in the assembly). Lastly, could be a low quality fuel pump. The OEM pump is made by Denso. Carter and Spectrum makes decent pumps as a alternative.

How do I know which part exactly is failing? Fuel pump filter, or the fuelregulator? I have some intermittent sputtering/vibration, and I am sure it's either the fuel injectors or something in the fuel tank. Because usually the sputtering becomes noticeable after filling the tank. My 1mz-fe model has only fuel filter in the tank, no fuel filter under the hood.

@@hardlymovingpro Thank you for replying... I just watched the linked video really nice job without the need of removing the injectors and the manifestation plenum.. In fact before the vibration started by two months, I sent my injectors to special cleaning service company and they changed the filters and o-ring. It was smooth running for two months until the vibration started.. So I'm not not sure what to change now. But I'm sure it's fuel related issue. Injectors, fuel pump, or fuel regulator. Because I head the clucking noise in the fuel pipe which is between bank 1 and 2 in 1mz-fe engine.

Could also be clogged fuel injectors. Had a customer with contaminated rusty fuel with rust sediment. I cleaned out the tank and replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and all injectors.

The reason I ask is because I’m thinking about changing mine I have a 2010 camary wih a 130,000 miles and I talk to a couple people and they say they really don’t get dirty is that true did you find that with yours. Yours didn’t look really dirty but then again I couldn’t really tell. Great video, thanks

@hardlymovingpro 4 жыл бұрын

I would agree that it didn't look dirty but it's made out of some plastic polymer material and who knows if it'll break down over time. In some past cars I've worked on that had been idle for a long time, some would not start due to traces of dissolved screen material clogging into fuel pump's intake fuel port. These pump filters are cheap and many replacement pump kits come with new screens. Also, not showing proof that the filter was replaced with the pump may void any pump warranty claims.

@lukeskywalker354 4 жыл бұрын

I totally agree and I would most likely replace mine when it gets close to 200,000 miles and the fuel pump. It’s better to keep up on the Preventive Maintenance than to wait the last minute when your fuel pump has broken down because of age and old filter. Anyway thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the great videos.

@hardlymovingpro 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! The key to pump longevity is to not let your fuel tank go below 1/4 of a tank. The fuel acts as a coolant to keep the pump from overheating. The people who brag that they can drive their car to near empty are the ones whose fuel pump fails and are scratching their head as to why. After my explanation on fuel cooling, they're speechless and give me a dumb stare. This is no different than people who ride the clutch at a stop light hill instead of using their brakes and wonder why their clutch burned out in 30k miles.
