replacing fuel pump

[badkuk]

ano po ung difficulty level? i.e. kaya ba ng newbie DIY-er, or mas advisable to let the experts do it? ung pinakamahirap na repair i've done is replacing the wiper linkage B)

anong car ba yan sir? may fuel pump na nasa engine (operated by a rocker arm on the camshaft) at meron din electric pump sa loob ng fuel tank. kung efi yan malamang nasa tank ang pump, kung carb nasa engine.

yung sa engine 3 turnilyo lang yan. 12mm if i remember it right. pero need mo open valve cover para sure ka na tama salpak ng rocker sa cam. kung yung nasa tank leave it to the experts, mamya sumabog ka pa dyan ehehehe! spark, spark, kabooom!

'89 corolla po. i looked it up in the haynes manual pero medyo bitin ang instructions/pictures

pinagdududahan ko ung fuel pump coz i seem to get 'extra' power when the tank is filled more than half. pag less than half e parang humihina ang takbo

I had a Gemini whose fuel pump was electric and installed inside the fuel tank. When it was no longer functioning, I went to a shop asking them to service my car at home. When they learned what my car was, they told they don't fix it but replace it with a universal fuel pump. Then, I bought a universal pump, installed it outside the tank and attached the hoses and wirings. Just as easy as that.

No fuel would go to the carburetor or injection. So your car won't start, or if you're running, it would stall - just what happened to my car.
