Hey this might be one of the most helpful videos ever. It was fast and clear and gave me different possible issues which I've written down to check out. Thanks so much for this video

Fyi if you’re changing a fuel pump on an okder ford ranger and it won’t start after you change it. There is a trip switch button behind the glove box. It will require pulling the glove box out and pressing it to reset the fuel pump. Its an emergency trip switch to prevent engine fire after a car accident. This was on an 06 ranger I found this out.

Thank you .. I had to cycle the car a few times and disconnect both battery terminals for a few minutes for the car to reset initially had a rough idle

I got my gauge from harbor freight and it came with every hook up for just about every car so far every car I I had to work on including Honda harbor frieght is the best option I only paid 30$ for mine if you rent one make sure to check everything is there before you rent it and also make sure the directions are there because if not they will charge you full price and they charge like 150 for the fuel pressure gauge I couldn’t believe it

If you rent a fuel pressure test gauge it will work for many cars, but not for honda. You will have to splice it into a secondary hose temporarily, or get a special adapter which you can only get from Honda

15amp fuse had a burnt spot it had a short that would make connection, once found I replaced it and it has been running better than ever I wish that I had found it before replacing two pumps. A cheap ebay pump that was junk and a ford junk yard pump so that means that my original pump was good spent $125.00 for both pumps

I learn about what you have taught me. 🙂🙂🙂

When you get a chance could you make a video regarding the code P0603 which regards the engine control module?

Hi bro i got a CEL on after a fuel pump replacement due to a recall. The mechanic narrowed it down to a cat converter failure. Could this be related to the fuel pump replacement. Car is only 2 yrs old c300 w206. Many thanks for your time.

I just recently change my fuel pump, change my fuel filter, and my truck still will not fire up it wants to, but it won’t stay running. How does the fuel filter hook up? What line goes in and one line goes out

1987 ford e350 van cutaway motorhome, got the whole new fuel pump assembly changed and everything works fine but the sensor, its reading but when left alone and securing everything it drops back down to E and doesnt hold. thought it was getting stuck on the tank or something but tried so many diff things and still keeps happening. the mechanic and me are at an “awe” . starting to feel like maybe its the part itself came possibly damaged but cant see any damage.

Awesome explanation, thanks for sharing! Before I start throwing parts at the issue I have with my 2007 4Runner I wanted to see if you have any suggestions or thoughts as to what I'm currently experiencing...sometimes if I sit idle for 15 mins. or so the fuel gauge will drop 1/4-1/2 a tank and sometimes when I go to "fill" up the gauge does not go completely to the 'F'. Any ideas are welcomed.

I changed the fuel pump on my 1992 Cadillac brougham because she wasn't getting any gas. After that she was acting crazy, rough idle and died at red lights. Replace the whole fuel sending unit and all the problems went away, going on 3 years now

[sabrinaaustin]

Dealership just fixed my fuel pump but I’m still hearing the same noise before the replacement. Is it now my fuel filter?

[echomike]

What does it mean when I sometimes have to hit the fuel tank with a hammer to get it to start?. This is the 3rd fuel pump.

[Hewhosteps]

I had an issue with one of the top two hoses popping out once i cranked the vehicle. Gas leaked around the pump. However, I reattached a couple of times until the pressure was regular again and now the car starts right up.
Check your hoses atop the pump.

Installed callibrated Delphi fuel pump type 1530 after that engine giving very high rpm what would be the reason?

[kasonsharber]

Just got done replacing my fuel pump we hooked everything up correctly disconnected the battery filled the tank back up and my range is stil saying 33 miles till empty and my gauge is pointing down
