You can do it as %26quot;hap8983%26quot; or as %26quot;pickupma%26quot; says, but most says it is easier to drop the gas tank.How do i change a fuel pump in a chevy s10?
Did you say it won't idle? What about starting? Does it run if you stay on the gas pedal? If the fuel pump were to lose just 10% pressure, the engine would not even start. Completely dead. So if your not sure, do a simple fuel line pressure check. You don't need the engine running, just bypass the fuel pump relay. There is even a jumper factory installed for bypassing. Its a little red wire whip coming out the side of the underhood fuse/relay box.



EDIT: Look all these idiots are telling how to replace the fuel pump. I try to show you how to confirm it is actually the fuel pump that is malfuntioned, Before you waste time and money. And I get thumbed down. I actually know what I'm talking about with numerous years chevrolet experience. Go ahead listen to these shade tree mechanics. I can care less.How do i change a fuel pump in a chevy s10?
well myself i rather pull the bed .. it is easier to install the pump and get all the lines reconnected with out leaks or having a line or wires pinched . when you drop the tank you have to lift the truck up high enough to get the tank out . also a take can be heavy if full of fuel.



to pull the bed is the15mm bolts , 1 ground bolt for the tail light harness, screws around the gas neck and 10mm for ground strap. 2 people can lift the bed off the truck ..How do i change a fuel pump in a chevy s10?
the first thing i would do is try changing the fuel filter. its cheap and inexpensive and i would try that for the cost of a fuel pump change. it might be the fuel filter is dirty. id try that first! sometimes its the simple things, and for ten bucks, its a hell of a lot easier than changing a fuel pump. and its worth a try no more than a fuel filter costs.How do i change a fuel pump in a chevy s10?
hi.. dropping the gas tank is very labory and very labory when doing it by yourself.. i just did mine and i really had a very very labory experience as i did it myself, alone.. without removing the gas in the tank.. if i was to do this again , i would try to lift the bed instead. your call. goodluck.How do i change a fuel pump in a chevy s10?
Do it the easy way and remove the bed. Once removed changing the pump is cake. Not to mention you have plenty room to go ahead and clean up the ground a bit for the new pump.

The fuel pump is in the gas tank. You would have to drop the tank out. Also disconnect the fuel lines, filler neck and wiring harness to the pump on top of the tank, all with out breaking any of it.How do i change a fuel pump in a chevy s10?
