fuel pump replacement
Hey guys, this is going go be short and sweet.
My fuel pump quit. I think this because I don't hear the hum from the tank, and have no pressure in my fuel rail.
Questions.
What is the easiest way to change it myself. Drop the tank or cut a hole in the floor?
And do I need any special tools other than basic wrenches and socket set.
I am looking to do this tomorrow after school. All help us appreciated

Try cleaning the connector next to the wheel well underneath the car.

How did it die? Only one of the 3 pumps I had replaced died while I was driving. I was on a 35 MPH roadway, and the car started bucking a bit. I pulled over on a side street, stopped, then the car died.
The other 2 died when I started the car.
I'm on number 4 now

i didnt drain my gas tank, mostly because my tank was already empty. its really easy to change the fuel pump. i found the hardest part was getting the fuel lines off
