I promised my sis i would install her a new fuel pump and filter in her car. She has a 2001 grand am 6 cylinder car and i just wanna know is it hard to do and if u could can u provide steps on how to remove and replace the pump and filter
you have to drop the tank for the fuel pump because its an in-the-tank-pump. as for the filter its easy, in the engine compartment
it,s no picnic ! first take the pressure off the fuel ! you can do that by pushing the little valve on the fuel rail under the hood ! then slide a floor jack under the tank, take 1 end of both straps loose, lower the tank down far enough to reach the plug-in and the hoses, lower the tank to the ground, slide it out from under the car ! now mark the way the pump goes in and take a punch or a old screwdriver and unscrew the big 0-ring on the pump and lift the pump and sending unit out ! just make sure you get the new pump back in the same way ! now change the fuel filter ! it might have those quick connects so you might need a special tool to remove the hoses ! i have to ask you this ! how does she know it,s the pump ? it could be the pump fuse or relay if the pump is not kicking on !
