2003-2007 Accord Fuel Strainer Change: Fuel Pressure Regulator change/ Fuel Sending Unit Disassembly

[@ianrimmer1968]

That filter was very dirty. I wish I hadn’t seen the video now. Looks like I’m gonna have to replace mine on my Accord 🙁 😬

😂😂😂 To be honest, didn't know it was going to be that dirty! Sorry to be tempting you🤣. It's for good though. All the best.

[@daviderhahon]

Oh yes. I'm tempted too. Currently experiencing this start and die. Sometimes I turn ignition on and off about 4 times so it primes more. With that it starts better. EDIT - I didn't need to do this. It all became okay after my next fuel purchase. And has been fine since.

Just learned there even was a fuel filter for my 2003 accord... I'm pretty sure honda never serviced it in the 19 years I've had them work on it. Thanks for making it look like another something I can actually do myself. (Also contemplating replacing the plugs a little early, not really due for another 40K (at 330K) yet, but gas mileage is a little lower since having had the vtec housing gasket replaced.)

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The spark plugs should be otherwise okay if you have 40k still left for the next replacement interval and you had the recommended iridium ones.

[@fdog2304]

@@DIYAutoworksNGI'll keep that in mind. But will definitely be doing it myself when I do get around to it.

[@fdog2304]

Did the deed Thursday and finished Sunday. What kept me from completing on Thursday was that it literally took me an hour or three to get the pump back in properly (finally thanks to your hint to put the rubber seal in first, though even that took a few tries) and mostly getting the ring back on properly, which was a total fail after dozens of tries. On the off chance that a cheap tank wrench tool might help (and I'm pretty sure it did as it only took a few tries today and it's a good tight fit), I ordered that tool in and took two days off for my ancient fingers to recover. Today I first looked at a few other similar videos to see if there were any better hints on getting the ring back on easily (nope), but ran into one that probably helped which gave me the idea to put the back seats down and access the pump ring from inside the car instead of inside the trunk (d'oh). Bingo I suspect. In the end, turns out it wasn't very dirty in the pump, a number of larger dirt particles and some smaller ones, probably a few dozen all told. The original filter was pretty clean. So it goes... and now I know better. Your video pretty much had all the steps and I'm not going to even try and count the number of times during several of the steps I went back and forth from one end of the house (the garage) to the other (this office) looking to see how easy you made it look and what I wasn't quite getting right. So excellent video, but I'd recommend a cheap-ish tank wrench tool be procured for putting the ring back on more easily (and probably taking it off in the first place), do the ring back on part and the last few steps from inside the car (do the rest from the trunk as it can get quite messy with all the dirt and especially the gasoline).

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Well said! Never thought of going from inside the car vs trunk! With experience, I've gotten so used to the trunk route that it only takes me a couple minutes to unmount/mount the ring. In my earlier days, it used to take quite a bit of tries to get the ring back on🥵, so I totally understand! Glad you got it done, plus the confirmation of not being too dirty. Cheers.

[@felixharry2481]

Thankx bro. Exactly what mine is doing every morning. Will start and make this cranking noise and then stop. I think I’m gonna change the fuel filter ASAP.

It can also be caused by poor quality gas! Maybe before replacing the whole unit, try a good octane booster/cleaner and see if it helps? Thanks for the compliment!

[@The_Noticer.]

Oh shit, the location is that simple? Thanks for showing me where I can access it. I was worried i had to take out the entire rear sofa. Which on the Tourer is a nightmare. A word of advice would be to first mark the location of the retaining ring with a sharpie, that way you know you've tapped it in far enough when you assemble it again.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You're welcome! Nice tip on using a sharpie. From experience, I usually just tighten by hand. The rubber sleeve does all the sealing.

Manual asks to change it around 80000km.

Hi there, very nice videos! We need more of these for the accords "") I have the 7th gen euro accord wagon 2.4l automatic and i get this shaking/jerking (i don't know what's the right word) from the engine always at same speeds around 2000rpm 40-50km/h and 80-90km/h while sligthly pressing the gas pedal, like the engine lacks fuel or air. Also the rpms are jumping a little bit while driving at steady speed around 80-90km/h. I don't know if its realted to this video or is it trans related but would be very helpful if you can point where to check or what to look for. Thanks!

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks a lot for the compliment! Do you have a check engine light? It could be worn spark plugs especially with the bouncing RPM. However, a lot of other things may be in play here. Air and fuel supply need to be checked as well. A scan will help point you in the right direction.

[@mitakks]

Thanks! I don't have any CEL i changed the spark plugs when i got the car and it was like that, recently i changed them again and still the same not getting better or worse ill run a scan when i can cuz I don't have scan tool but people here telling me it needs to be original honda scanner to get correct readings.

[@daviderhahon]

@@mitakks I'm suspecting it's an issue with your v-tec solenoid assembly or strainer. But then, I would expect this to give a Check Engine Light and a fault code. You said you don't have that, so I'm no so sure.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for the update. Any good scanner will work. Doesn't have to be Honda or even expensive. Since there is no CEL, what you'll need is access to live data to observe the fuel trims. NB: on this Accord, fuel delivery issues may not trip a code, same goes for a very dirty air cleaner element (aka air filter). When last did you change the air cleaner element(engine)?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Exactly! An iVTEC issue that causes surging at speed (limp mode) will cause a CEL. @Mitakks - does the CEL come on initially when you turn on the ignition but don't crank?

Is the CEL on? Will be good to hook up a scanner to look at fuel trim data first. I won't advise throwing parts at the car. Using just fuel trim data, there's a simple test you can do to find out if the fuel pump is failing. The definitive test will be reading the fuel pressure. On the seeming increased fuel consumption, you can run a good fuel system cleaner in the tank to see if it helps.

I see. No codes. This is where reading fuel trim data matters a lot to get to the bottom of the increased fuel consumption.

Hello. Sorry to hear this. How are you going about doing it? Fit the rubber sleeve first, then insert the fuel pump assembly. From here, I have used 2 approaches that work: 1st is as in the video. Push down the assembly until it sits well in the opening. The friction with the rubber sleeve usually keeps the retaining ring down. Second method is to attach the retaining ring push down slightly then twist on the retaining ring. Rely on the screwing on of the retaining ring to put the fuel pump assembly in position. Which of the 2 have you been using?

That's the purpose of the filter, to trap the dirt. What you would rather have will be a clogged filter which restricts the aspiration of fuel from the tank. It's practices like washing and reusing a fuel filter (except if specifically designed) or using aftermarket filters that do not meet OEM spec, that may alter the filter pore diameter and increase the risk of dirt getting into the pump. But very good observation I must say.

[@nicselectronics81]

Hoping mine is the fuel pump relay, just cranks and cranks and only after I fill up or its hot.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Possibly the relay. Other causes of difficulty starting after fill up include, the fuel pump strainer, the fuel pump itself, EVAP problems, defective fuel pressure regulator etc. Let us know how it goes. Best of luck.

[@nicselectronics81]

I put a new pump in seemed to do the trick

[@robertbrummett259]

great video!

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Many thanks!

Can you put the link of the fuel pump honda accord 2003-2005 2.4?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Hi. Do you mean fuel pump by itself or the entire fuel pump assembly aka fuel sending unit?

[@Hendogg28]

So did it fix your problem you was having? Only ask cause when I first start my car in the morning or after it sets a few days it has a long crank and then misses for a few seconds and then straightens up.. And don’t do it the rest of the day.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

It didn't fix the issue although it's a potential cause. I eventually found the actual problem to be poor quality gas. I could eliminate or recreate the problem by buying gas from certain gas stations!

[@donaldallison4854]

Great video, simple techniques. However you didn't crank the engine again to see if it would start on a first try after replacing the fuel filter. That would have summed up the video. But thanks all the same.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I agree. Nice observation. Feedback taken!

[@thronewalker1153]

Nice 👍

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks, mate!

[@lebanrebsolrac]

How to prevent the gasoline from getting dirty and the filters from getting clogged? .

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

That's mostly beyond you, since it's up to the gas stations to ensure they clean out there tanks and fix leaks. One practice you can adopt is to not refuel if you see a supply tanker within the gas station or a supply just happened. Supplies usually stir up sediment in the underground tank, so it's best to buy after it resettles.

[@scott4036]

Where do you get the replacement fuel pump?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I think it was Ebay, when I replaced the entire assembly. For this video, I just swapped the strainer.

How do I know if my fuel pressure regulator is bad?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

It's going to be any one or a combination of the following: misfires, black smoke, sputtering backfires in the exhaust, difficulty starting, stalling etc. Will be good to check the fuel pressure. Depending on the location of the fuel pressure regulator (engine vs tank), you may have the smell of gasoline in the engine too.

[@mustyali9529]

@@DIYAutoworksNG It's in the tank, and no schreader valve to hook up a fuel pressure regulator. But thanks for the symptom which I have non, but my short-term fuel trim is always (-3 to -8) and long-term fuel trim (-6 to -8) constantly.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Sometimes, those fuel trims depend on the quality of petrol... 🤣

[@adysamin853]

When removed the fuel pump relay (blue) the engine cannot be started.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

As you saw in the video the car started. The existing pressure in the rail makes it possible.

[@felixharry2481]

But I think you were like trying to wash the already dirty filter. Why changing a new one then?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Replacement is best. I would only wash if I'm between a rock and a hard place. Pore diameter could change with age...

[@Jusznani]

So my car smells like fumes when I turn my heat on , is this a fuel leak ?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

When you say fumes, do you mean exhaust fumes or you meant to say smells like fuel?

[@raviautoscanning]

Thank you.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You're welcome.

[@lastof4brothers]

If the strainer was this dirty, then the main filter should be very dirty as well, if not clogged.

[@danielurrea9091]

I pulled the relay and turn on the car the car died I put the relay back and then took the ground off when I was disconnected the fuel line there was still so much pressure in there

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

That's weird. Was the key in the off position when you put back the relay? It shouldn't have much pressure if the car stalled from lack of fuel pressure.

Bruh are you replacing it on the side of the street in rush hour? Why is everyone honking constantly?

Lol. Where I used to park and work on the car was in front of a very busy street. I've since moved and things are quieter.

Not exactly sure for the V6.
