1998-2002 Corolla Fuel Pump Replacement

[@calen_chan]

Great video, EXCEPT at 2:29 anyone who reads this, DO NOT put the grommet and O-ring in the fuel filter before putting the fuel filter back on the assembly, we wasted almost an hour trying to get it on. This guy even changed the approach without mentioning it at 2:55 where the grommet and O-ring suddenly appear on the plastic part before he puts the fuel filter back on. It easily slides right in once you know to do it that way. Could’ve done this while in less than 30 min otherwise, super great follow along and very informative. 👍

[@3rdGenGuy]

you mixed up the filter port with the pump. 2:29 is the part that connects to the pump housing assembly not the pump itself.

[@DougHinVA]

Well-made and step by step and complete and careful. NO SMOKING or sparks at all ! Mine was replaced at 282K miles by a mobile mechanic (one-time and no need to risk anything with a DIY) using certified OEM caliber parts. Immediately helped the hesitation and will give it a day or so to 'relearn' the ECM setting needed for my driving pattern.

Pretty sure my fuel pump when out. Car was driving just fine, got on the freeway, lost power, sputtered, and finally just died. Wouldn't start again. Had to get it towed. Got quoted for $1000+ repair. Saw I could do it for like $300 or less. Thank you so much. You saved me hundreds of dollars.

[@3rdGenGuy]

glad to help. that's the point of these videos.

[@joshuatran3667]

2000 corolla. Been searching for a good video on changing fuel filter. Appreciate the part list and the clear dyi. Best video and the only one so far on this topic.

[@ThatWord]

Excellent tutorial for this. Wish the filter were under the hood but what can you do. Thanks man.

[@mississippisteve7026]

Muchos Grasioso... 3rd Gen Guy for the 'complete' rundown of the fuel filter replacement... I had a couple of the rubber pieces and the plastic sleeve in various positions, and it just didn't want to assemble correctly. a couple of pauses had me realize the rubber 'cushion' went on the top piece, not inline with the filter and the pump. I bow to thee Corolla Guru.

[@3rdGenGuy]

I know this isn't 3rd gen related, but the only HOW-TO videos on this are just some russian guy talking over a potato camera. i figured i needed to make a clear video

[@imjustaplumber3661]

3rd Gen Guy yesss. Thank you. That Russian dude was not helpful to be honest

[@wintersolstice53]

Wow. This an extremely high quality instructional. You dont see such good instructions, clear shot, lighting, and proper English like this too often. Woah. Five friggin 🌟. I still dont know if im just gonna do the sifter/strainer/sock tho lol.

[@mississippisteve7026]

Come on.... they're only $3-4 bucks online .... shipping - that's were they get ya. I got the filter and the strainer 'together' for $7 shipping - people say I'm cheap like that.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Great video 👍

[@nighttrain6214]

What are some of the symptoms the car was experiencing before replacing the fuel pump? I have a 2000 Chevy prizm with a slight acceleration issue under load and a slight miss at idle. I have replaced o2 sensors, pvc valve, spark plugs(iridium), vvti sensor, temp sensor, intake manifold gasket, checked primary and secondary resistance on the coil packs, vsv switch, Denso MAF sensor, and fixed the exhaust leak and I still have a slight miss at idle. I’d check the cell code but the previous owner had a aftermarket keyless entry installed and hardwired directly to the port🤦🏼‍♂️. My last guesses at this point is that it’s either the IAC or fuel pump and or regulator related but I need a pressure tester. Any recommendations?

[@auck1969]

Excellent tutorial. Also your sound quality is A1. Thank you.

[@user-qp9gy5me8w]

Where do you get the o-ring and white piece added to the new filter in 2:30? Do you reuse from the old filter? Replacement filters don't seem to come with these parts.

[@3rdGenGuy]

I installed a new filter while I was there.

Wow that's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I like that it's just right underneath the seat. Don't have to detach a bunch of hoses or anything

[@mosthated8190]

Why is my car cranking but not starting after replacing fuel pump , filter , regulator,strainer? I filled up gas tank and primed the new pump. It started after two or three different start ups. But not sure if I did something wrong in between replacing the parts however I strongly don’t believe so.

[@spookyweeb5563]

when looking at the price for the fuel pump when i search the part number i get prices in the 70-100$ range but when i search "toyata corolla 1998 fuel pump" i get prices much lower. seems to good to be true. is it?

[@hazy-]

@3rd Gen Guy 5:15 What did you use the RTV for?

[@3rdGenGuy]

I didn't use any RTV. i thought i might have to seal up the door, but the stock rubber worked.

[@hazy-]

@@3rdGenGuy Ok cool. Thanks for making this video. Saved my bacon.

[@LostSoulAscension]

Super effective visual tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@antares4141]

I broke the clip, how do I find out what type of clip to order? Where is the best place to get something like this. Rock auto? Amazon? Ebay? There is a quick connect under the floor pan connected to a hose that goes to the front of the car. If I could order an identical quick connect I could insert a T at that spot and attach a fuel pressure gauge. Any idea where I can order one of these types of quick connects? Great video thanks!

[@3rdGenGuy]

not sure what clip you are referring too, but the surefire way is to go to a junkyard. LOTS of 98-02 Corollas and Prisms still around.,

[@antares4141]

@@3rdGenGuy Actually a 2002 camry but that sounds like a plan. Had no luck finding something similar on amazon and I could scarf up the quick connect fuel connector under the gas tank while I am at it cause trying to match that on amazon isn't going well either.

[@josephdomingo7117]

Thank you and I really appreciate your step by step instructions to do the fuel pump. Hopefully you make another video of something else about Toyota with step by step instructions again. And I subscribe to your channel.

[@IsaacMcGowanisblackxican]

would this work for the 1990 corolla sr5 model?

[@3rdGenGuy]

a 1990 would be a different setup.

[@okwudilianthony4750]

I what to know how much is the price of complete casing of fuel pump for corolla vvti 1998

[@jwest88]

Awesome guide, thanks. My car sometimes take longer than I'd like to start. I fixed my starter(was having the click sound no crank issue) by replacing the plunger and contacts in there, but the car still takes a while to start. I was thinking maybe it's a dirty fuel filter and could just replace the filter and strainer, but maybe should replace more if I'm already going to be in there. Not a must do job yet, but probably a smart thing to do soon(almost 190k miles on my 99 corolla). EDIT: Also lately have had issues with an improper fuel level reading, the other day I wasn't looking and the fuel came right out of the fill port onto the side of my car and onto the ground. I ordered the fuel pump, strainer, filter, and gasket. On the fence if I want to order the fuel level sending unit as well and the fuel pressure regulator. The pressure regulator can get quite pricey unless you get one of the cheap ones that are only around 20 bucks. Not sure how much those cheaper ones can be trusted though. I know it's cheaper to replace the parts rather than spend 5-6 hundred on the whole assembly, but this is quickly becoming an expensive job. At least I'll save the money on labor thanks to guides like this one though.

[@3rdGenGuy]

how new is the battery? i had some rough starting and running issues that were caused by a battery that had weird voltage drops.

[@jwest88]

@@3rdGenGuy battery is about a year old. Tests fine and shouldn't be causing any issues. Not sure I want to spend the money right now on the parts so may wait on this.

[@Johnslist]

your reassembly shows a tube of Ultra Black silicon (?), did and where did you use that? I was looking to replace the filter only as preventative maintenance, it looks like you say to replace all and others say to replace none...what is screen for?

[@3rdGenGuy]

i didn't end up needing the black RTV as the black screw in plate had enough butyl rubber to seal back up. that's the plate that screws to the gas tank. you want to replace the fuel filter AND screen. the filter is OLD OLD at this point and is mostly clogged up. the screen's go bad as well. they get brittle and snap off.

[@jarviscampbell2685]

Would this work for my 2001 Chevy prizm

[@3rdGenGuy]

yes, some things might be a little different, but it's the same basic thing. same part numbers. example, your pump unit might have a screw on cap VS the bolt on one mine had.

I bought a fuel pump for my 99 corolla and the plugs are a different size on the new one, but it came with new wiring and the plug that would fit, how do I replace this?

usually you can retrofit the new Plug on the old wiring. if you don't want to risk it, find a OEM replacement.

Hi, I have a Toyota Corolla 1.4 VVT-I Liftback from 2000, ive been searching where is it located, I also took of the fuel pump, But i didn't desasable, do you think that my fuel filter is inside that fuel pump? best regards

[@3rdGenGuy]

Hard to say man, there are so many random variants of corollas from every country. i would start by looking up part numbers online. they usually show a schematic of systems with numbers pointed to each part. that'll tell you if the filter is part of the assembly or somewhere else.

[@JuanGarcia-so4yh]

2:30 where did the white piece and o-ring come from? Was it from the old filter or brand new? I ordered a new filter and didn’t get those pieces. Update: they didn’t come off the old housing so I just used the old ones. Great video, it was very easy to do! Thanks you!

[@jarana10]

I have a code with a p0171 on my corolla 2001 with 197k miles. I have done a tune up. Change all my motor intake gaskets, clean my maf sensor, inspect all vaccum leaks, new coils but I haven't change my fuel filter or my fuel injectors. Do you think changing my fuel filter would get my code fixed?

[@XxXButtXNuggetsXxX]

30 mins into my drive I have more power but I am met with misfires which were previously there. I think it is an issue with my valves. I will press the pedal and it will become more responsive as I lift up off the pedal. I am going to try fuel injectors and then proceed to do a valve job. All of this is good experience I guess and I am definitely wasting my money on this hooptie when I should be investing into other things.

[@jarana10]

Yes you should change your PCV valve because of your high mileage. You can get it for 10$ at the auto store and its an easy self job. I changed mine because it was really black from the inside last year.

[@braydenrawe8918]

Is the fuel pump the same on a 99 Corolla and a 99tercel?

the stock old fuel pressure regulator is the only thing you can save. you can't really re-use the gaskets or filters so you can shave $60 off by re-using the fuel pressure reg

I did it, I think. I had to stop and replay many times, but the alternative would be too much talking and needing to speed up. Everything was covered but more detail on the 'popping off' parts might be nice for a first timer. I've never changed one inside a fuel tank because they often say not to bother but this car will be good for 100's of thousands more miles so I'm doin all maintenance. I've not road tested yet but all went back.
