Thank you for this video. I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra 4.7 with 267k miles. My truck gave no symptoms for a failing fuel pump. I pulled the truck out of the driveway to work on my other vehicles. Then pulled it back into the driveway and let it keep running so I could add more freon to the ac. As soon has the hose was connected to the ac port, the truck shut off. Then it began to have a crank no start. Pulled out the fuses and relays, then placed them back in and truck started again. Then later drove it 10 miles and everything was fine. Then drove it the next day for another 10 miles and all was good. So then come Monday, drove the truck to get gas. Right when I drove up a small incline the truck shut off and it wouldn't start again. Had to tow it home. Replaced the fuses and rely and it didn't improve anything. So bought a new fuel pump from Rockauto. So after watching this video, I now feel confident about replacing the fuel pump. But I'm curious if it's important to wash out the gas tank before placing the new fuel pump in the tank? You didn't mention in your video about cleaning the gas tank.

This channel is gonna grow, you deliver excellent diagnostics, quality videos, thoughtful dialogue, and you don't waste viewers' time. I will work through past videos. My first thought was why not use a high amp bulb to check wiring with pump disconnected. Now that I think about it, if the pump was good your technique PROVES no line resistance, because otherwise there would have been a voltage drop on either the ground or voltage side. After all, assuming the pump is good, you were doing a drop test across the energized pump, electrons were flowing during the test. However if the pump was bad AND wiring was bad, then you might not see a drop. Two coincident problems are unlikely and you saved a step. It would have been interesting to see current but there isn't much room for satisfying curiosity in a working shop.

Excellent video! Fuel pumps have been a problem for all toyo/lexus vehicles since the introduction of their "flex fuel" models, even if you never use flex fuel. Something about the ECM measuring the alcohol content incorrectly and responding poorly with the pump ECU and fuel pump that results in struggled cold starts and hard shifts while warming up, and ultimately a dying fuel pump. They don't have a replacement part than the Delphi FE0707 currently, so I purchased an aftermarket aeromotive pump with higher flow capabilities that folks use when supercharging (haven't seen any with issues after upgrading). I'll be wiring it into the existing pump assembly this weekend and praying that makes this truck purr again. Don't buy flex fuel models!!!!!!!!!

Also another thing I’ve been noticing if a 5.7 liter tundra comes in with misfires I wouldn’t rule out the possibility a valve spring has broken. Again not super common but I’ve seen it enough I made a point to remember. I usually see our cars misfire due to poor fuel quality like too much ethanol content.

Similar problem with my 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 4 cylinder, automatic. I'm the original owner. 70,000 miles. Well maintained all by me and garage kept. Looks and runs like new. Full tank. For the third time, it won't start. Really strange since it's the only time I have ever heard it crank since as soon as you hit the key, it starts. The first time, it made just a little microsecond like it was starting and then just cranking like crazy. Three or four tries. No deal. Figure I must have flooded it. Came back later and it started. This was couple years ago. Now it has done it twice more. Once warm and I had turned it off not 10 minutes picking up a few items. It started on the 4th try. A few days later, cold, did it again and it would not start after a few tries. Cranking like crazy. (Good Max Everstart battery) Checked for codes with blue reader. One on rear heated oxygen sensor stored (Only mechanical repair I have ever made and that was due to the heater burnt out on that oxygen sensor.) No other codes. Cleared it. The truck started after the reader ran and did not repeat the code. I swapped the power outlet relay with the same EFI relay in the engine compartment after I checked both relays. I added a grounded spark plug on top of the valve cover so I can pull the number one coil pack off the engine spark plug to check for spark next time. Note on the vehicle that there is no fuel pump timer to charge up fuel pressure like some cars. What is even worst is you can't even hear fuel pump with a full tank. The EFI relay drives the Circuit opening relay in crank mode. Once running, the ECM sees that from the crank position sensor and then grounds the coil on the circuit opening relay in the on position then and only then. I checked the circuit open relay under the dash that is power by the ECM. Even jumped it there and that is when I realized you cannot hear the pump as a check. I did attach a wire to the relay tank wire side. Now I can attach my meter to that and ground. I can key on and see no voltage. Crank and it becomes 12.7 or so. Starts and let off starter at key on and see the 14.2 or so running motor charge. What is my problem? It's so hard to catch. By my self. The 70,000 is 95% city. Has all the red lights in the city actually put 200,000 miles on fuel pump and it's brush is almost worn out and occasionally pump is not running? Is it the ignition switch? Both these are a pain to just guess at. Has original filter tucked up under intake runners on it. I have a replacement. I don't think it's that since it runs like new all the rest of the time. Thoughts. Biggest problem is I just don't trust it at my age.

Christopher magee · Every once in a while fill the tank with 93 octane. Don't just keep on buying the same 87 octane gas. Also every 2 months dump a bottle of fuel system cleaner. This will help maintain the system and the fuel pump run smoother and last longer. If you just keep on putting in the cheap 87 octane. Sure it's cheap. But you will probably pay for it when you least expected 🤔. Yes you also have to try and keep the tank a little above a quarter of tank filled. The gas their selling these days. Tends to be more volatile. I guess too much ethanol or alcohol beeing mixed in with the gas maybe allowed by the owners of the gas station.

something is fishy here..im a Tundra owner since 2004 , bought my second 3rd gen in 2013 , watching like a hawk vids related to issues and I can confirm that this is a first to see this type of issue the last 15 years or so that im aware of ..very odd I would say ..something doesn't add up since this trucks are built to last 1000000miles

It was run out of gas and the idiot owner kept trying to crank it and burnt out the pump .pumps need the gas for cooling.

I don't want to burst your bubble... But 100,000 miles? Not as realible as u think they are... Especially the issues with these 5.7 all over the place not the first time I've seen these pumps burn out so quick... We've done 3 already this year. That tundra with the 4.7 was pretty good.. Except the timing belt is

Liked the video. I have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma which has a slow crank and a click but no start. Sometimes it starts on the first turn and other times it takes about four to five turns of the key. Battery terminals are clean, new battery, swapped out starter relay with horn relay and still has the same symptoms. What am I missing?

NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLES ON EMPTY!!! The fuel pump needs gas to keep the fuel pump cool. My rule of thumb is fuel up to fuel up at 1/4 line.

Why not installing an external pump ? Saves you the hassle of dropping the tank ?

Hey Erick. What software or website do you use to pull the diagrams? Thanks

Excellent video, mine cranks like that, but starts..I recently took the battery out to test it, maybe I took the battery out incorrectly, is there a right or wrong way?

I loved your video. The only thing I didn't like is piercing the wires and not probing the connector. That will help rot out the wire over time if it ever see's salt from the road or beach. Hope you protected the holes you made in the insulation? You did great on the diagnostics!!

what do you use to seal the wires after probing them? Ive had my power probe for close to 15 years now, I need to upgrade to one like yours with a readout, Thanks for the video
Curtis Fleabag agree, because the Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 have premature fuel pump failure, and I'm not sure if that's on Toyota or Subaru end... but the late 1mz-fe had valve cover gasket leaks and my 2011 camry had crap water pump
