i have a 2000 ford explorer and its been having problems. it was reving real bad and wouldn't accelerate when i put my foot on the gas and now when i turn it on it'll kinda stall for a few seconds then die. people are saying i might need a new feul pump, but to change the filter first cause it's cheaper.. but im having troube changing that. it wont come off... how do i relieve the pressure so i can take it off? (theres no bolts on the line to relieve pressure.. im new to this n im not quite sure wat to do)Do i relieve the pressure to change the fuel filter?
Top of the motor on the fuel rail there is a valve similar to the valve on your tire this will release the fuel pressure .You can get a small plastic tool from the parts store to remove the filter from the lines .Do i relieve the pressure to change the fuel filter?
Remove the fuel pump fuse or relay then start the vehicle and wait till it dies. Fuel pressure is relieved,



Those lines can be tough to get off sometimes.Do i relieve the pressure to change the fuel filter?
you should relieve the pressure but it wouldnt prevent you from changing the filter. Your fuel lines have a retaing clip inside that you need a tool for or a couple of small screw drivers to release the clip.Do i relieve the pressure to change the fuel filter?
There's a valve on the fuel rail you can relieve the pressure there,it looks like a tire valve stem. Even with pressure on the lines the filter can still be removed.Do i relieve the pressure to change the fuel filter?
If you don't mind getting a little messy, you can remove and replace the filter without relieving the pressure. Even when the pressure is removed, some fuel can still escape.



Regardless, just have some rags handy and be careful not to damage any rubber fuel hoses while doing so.Do i relieve the pressure to change the fuel filter?
what i do is take the gas cap off to releave the pressure.Do i relieve the pressure to change the fuel filter?
i never do and i have done hundreds of those filters. your problem does not sound like it is related to a bad filter. there is a release tool to pull the lines off of that filter. that is the problem

How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?

Trying to change my fuel pump, but need to drain the gas first.How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?
You have to use the gas up, there is no further option. You can wait over a long period of time and let it dissolve on its own. Other than that there is no other option.How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?
You can get a line to connect to the fuel rail, jump the relay with a wire and let it drail into a gas can. It will take a while to drain but you can empty as much as you need to safely lower the tank.

If you look on the side of the fuel rail you will see a screw on port for a fuel pressure gauge, just get a line that fits onto it, you can bring the cap with you to the store to make sure it will fit on the rail so you don't need to make multiple trips.How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?
You don't need to drain the gas,use a floor jack to lift the gas tank up and down hardest part is getting the gas tank to balance on the floor jack.It works great if you can have one person on each side of the tank to help balance it when it's lowering down and raising up.

Get a syphon pump for a boat gas tank at a marine store or walmart, it will be a simple line with a sqweeze bulb. sqweeze the bulb to syphon the fuel out, you can transfer it to anothers car tank and put the rest in a 5 gallon can for youself to get back to gas station when repair is done, dont try to take off tank full of gas cuz you could spill it everywere, plus much hevier and makes the job a pain, the syphon pump is real cheap.How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?
This is one of those things I wish had a drain plug. I cannot tell you how many times my best friend and I had to take my gas tank off my Jeep Cherokee because of a bad fuel pump, broken hose and then to discover a relay had been the culprit.



You will either have to drive the vehicle to burn the gas or drop the tank.



For my BF and I luckily he had a lift and equipment to lower the tank down without breaking our arms and backs- empty or not.



One way that we did drain gas out was jumping the fuel relay and draining gas out from the fuel rail. I only recommend doing this IF you know what you are doing.How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?
Simply amazing, some of the other comments made....... I digress, get it up on a lift if possible, stands at least. The higher the better, by letting the rear axle hang down as far as possible, place a floor jack under the gas tank and loosen the straps. Now you can reach over the axle and remove the pump. There is no reason to drain the gas to change the pump.How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?
I used one of those hoses with a pump that you squeeze with your hand. You can get these at most auto parts stores. If the hose will not go all the way to the tank, you can remove the filler hose at the tank then put the hose in there. Then removed the tank. You can pour what is left out your filler neck.How do you drain the gas from a jeep grand cherokee laredo straight 6, if there is no drain plug?
pick up a siphon pump from any local auto parts store. Pump the gas into a container. Drop the tank and change the pump.

Just take off the gas line and plug it or just let the gas drain into a coffee can.

How do you know when your fuel pump needs to be changed, in a 1992 dodge caravan?

When you have a no start condition. Check your fuse 1st in the fuse panel, if it is good, then go down to the tank and find the power wire to the pump. If you get power at the pump and you hear no buzz sound with the key on, then you have a bad pump.How do you know when your fuel pump needs to be changed, in a 1992 dodge caravan?

After you have replaced the filter, and tested the relays as well as the pump pressure with and without the pressure regulator, then you can better answer that question.



If the pump is noisy, or has quit before (be sure it is the pump) then started back, or if you havr a whole bunch of miles on the car, replace it if you want the peace of mind.



There is no specified service interval for replacement though.

98 Chevy malibu theft system? no fuel seems to be the problem?

how can i tell if the theft system is keeping the car from starting. The car wont start out of the blue. I opened up the air filter and sprayed in starter fluid, started right up, but dies when i stop spraying. This leads me to think its a fuel problem. Changed fuel filter, and pump is working fine. Any help would be great.98 Chevy malibu theft system? no fuel seems to be the problem?
I had the same problem with a Geo prism LSI. To my surprise it turned out to be the coil pack. I always thought that when it went bad there would be no spark, it turns out, there is just less and Ether is so combustible it will burn on even the smallest spark and the engine will start, but then die very quickly (gasoline will just spit and sputter) .98 Chevy malibu theft system? no fuel seems to be the problem?
it was a theft system problem the security light will flash and will not start no matter what u spray in it how do u know the pump is working on a GM especialy it may have some fuel pressure but if it is even 1to2 pounds low it wont run u need a pressure test and volume test and i bet you will find something wrong gl

How easy is it to pull of a gas tank to and replace the pump and screen on a 91 Plymouth acclaim?

Check under the rear seat for a inspection window. Though this window you can change the fuel pump and screen without needing to remove the whole tank.How easy is it to pull of a gas tank to and replace the pump and screen on a 91 Plymouth acclaim?
If memory serves me BRUNO KUSSLER got it wrong. The LH cars had that feature, not the acclaim. On the Acclaim you have to drop the tank to get to the pump. Drain the tank(sometimes easier said than done) Disconnect all the lines and hoses you see,then drop the tank low enough to get to the top lines and wire connection on top and unplug. Drop it down and unscrew the retainer ring and lift the pump assembly out.

Is it hard to change the timing on a fuel injector?

i have a 1992 ford f350 7.3 litter diesel and ive had the fuel pump,fuel lines, alternater,batteries,fuel fillter and glow plugs changed and it still wont start but only in the mornings. After its started it will run fine the rest of the day and my buddy told me the fuel injector timing was off and i was wondering if that could be it or not,and if so how hard it is to change itIs it hard to change the timing on a fuel injector?
I'm not aware of any way to modify the injector timing - this comes from your computer. While there are some devices that can modify the way your computer responds, the injector pulse width is normally driven by values in a table based on the performance desired and known variables relating to your engine and the vehicle specs.



I didn't see pressure regulator mentioned in your lengthy list of repairs? Have you verified the fuel rail pressure? I would place injector timing at the bottom of my list of probable issues. (Unless there's a TSB for this.)Is it hard to change the timing on a fuel injector?
You might want to see if the fuel lines are placed correctly. That can cause your mornings hard starts.



The timing should only be done by your local fuel shop.

How do i remove the back seat of my Lexus ES300?

I have a 2000 Lexus ES300 i need to remove the backseat but not sure how to do that....Need to change the Fuel PumpHow do i remove the back seat of my Lexus ES300?
Most rear seats in cars can be removed by examining the underside bottom, front lip area of the seat cushion at the front outer edges of the seat. There's usually a hook on either side of it's inner metal framing that engages a metal plate welded to the floor to keep it in place. You may have to feel around under the seat to find it. By pushing downwards and backwards on the seat cushion in those areas ....one side at a time..., you can usually disengage the hook from that plate and then lift the seat cushion up and out. Some cars have it bolted in place instead of a hook. The rear seat back cushion is usually bolted to the metal structure behind it...look for a bolt in either lower corner of the seat back...unscrew the bolts and then lift the seat back cushion forward at the bottom and push up to disengage it at the top.



Reverse the order to reinstall.How do i remove the back seat of my Lexus ES300?
pull up on the seat bottom to try to see between it and the carpet.



should be a white tab looking block on each side of the front of the lower seat bottom. you push on the button on it with a screwdriver and the seat should pull up (might have to pull while you push).



then the seat bottom should come up.
