99 - 10 Honda Odyssey Fuel Pump Replacement Removal - Fuel Pump Relay - Bundys Garage

[@bobwootten6774]

I am not that accomplished mechanically and (as sometimes happens) money is a bit tight right now. Your video helped this marginal mechanic do a professional job on my deceased fuel pump. Thank you for caring enough to share your accomplishments with tools but also your gift of instruction.

[@oscarverduzco697]

TY for the tutorial. I took my time and installed it in my 2006 odyssey in about 1.5 hours. I was a bit nervous about having to hammer away at the locking ring, but luckily I was able to untighten it by hand.

[@bundysgarage]

Thanks for watching

[@mitzvahtorah7966]

You might want to use the original locking ring. Before removing it, make a mark to know how much to tighten to specs near the ring. Just align the 2 marks that you made when beginning to tightening the ring. If you notice that there's about little distance from the 2 marks, you know that must tighten more until aligned up.

[@DaizerTheOne]

Just want to say thanks, van broke down on us today and I was sure it was the fuel pump since a few days back it started hesitating to start. Watched the video and decided to tackle this right there where it broke down, my fuel pump was a little different but I got the basics we were back on the road in just a little while. Thanks again!

[@bundysgarage]

+DaizerTheOne glad it helped you out and you were able to get off the road as well as save yourself some money by doing it yourself. Self reliance is what it's about.

[@christianwilson2045]

Just finished switching my old pump out. This video was very helpful. One note on the gasket. I had to slide the gasket onto the pump past the float and circuit board to get the float and circuit board in. Then I had to slide the gasket into place around the base, then slide the pump the rest of the way down onto the base. I tried for a few minutes to slide the pump and gasket into place in the base with the gasket in position at the top ofm the pump but it wouldn't slide into the base properly, and kept folding over. Once I slide the gasket down into the base and got it set properly (while the pump was half inserted) the pump slid in easily. Then you have to get the locking ring on without cross-threading it. The van started right up.

[@bundysgarage]

+Christian Wilson thanks for the tip. The ring was the most difficult for me. They make a special tool to take it off and put it on but who wants to spend $100 for that? Glad the van started right up for you. On a side note, keep up with oil changes, and check your oil and coolant level on a monthly basis and the Honda engine will last a long long time

[@armydlguy]

@@bundysgarage my 2004 Odyssey has almost 300,000 miles on it, no leaks, no check engine light, I did have the transmission replaced at 260,000 miles, but the engine is sound. I've done most of the maintenance items myself with Walmart conventional oil and Fram oil filters. Most of the fixes have been fairly simple, I paid a mechanic to do the timing belt and high pressure power steering hose.

[@bundysgarage]

You take care of that van and it last a long long time.

Thanks for making this video. I changed the pump on my 02 Odyssey in 2012, after I'd seen a video like this, perhaps even this exact one. BUT, it amazes me how many times I hear or read advise from people about various vehicles that say to drain (syphon) the gas, drop the tank, then pull the pump. Poor clueless people.

[@chooseanameforme888]

It most certainly did. There are 2 other videos on changing the fuel pump on youtube that I thought would be helpful but I was wrong yours turned out to be the one I turned to just before I was getting ready to do the job. Mine is a 04 Odyssey and it sits closer to the rear of the driver's side on the floor of course. I didn't really need to undo the floor carpet screws for the seats on the passenger side. Aside from that, it took me about an hour from start to finish but then I always like to take my time. Turner her up and pump was up and running! thank you so much

I have an 03 Honda Odyssey, the fuel pump is good, but I just got this vehicle and it has sat for 2 years and the gas is bad. I have to get a new ignition switch installed so no power now but would like to drain the tank. Can I unplug the power to the fuel pump and operate it with a 12 volt battery attached to the power terminals on the pump? Thanks in advance, loved this video.

[@tellsthetruth894]

Great video. Question pls, what were symptoms that made you change the fuel pump, or was the replacement based on the diagnostics scan of STFT/LTFT being out of spec. Thank you.

[@Lord_of_darkness978]

Would this solve my acceleration hesitation & uphill struggle with this van?

[@PapaFred25]

Could you tell me why when I unplugged that first line that you did, why did a bit of gasoline just rocket out of there? Literally went right out the sliding door onto the ground. Could I have potentially let in air into the system?

[@chrisryan8863]

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. If I just want to change the gas guage sending unit (the float) do I have to remove the entire fuel pump? I thought there was a way to just pop out the sending unit without lifting the entire pump out?? Thank you so much and Happy New Year! Chris

[@bundysgarage]

+chris ryan I don't think you can replace the float that reads the level of the gas on the dash board.

[@fortunatedad7695]

Just curious as to how you diagnosed your vehicle to know it was the fuel pump was the problem. Thanks

[@stonerwheels]

Question? how much room you figure is between the floor and the gas tank towards the drivers side? I think I put a small hole in the tank installing a amp under the seat behind the drivers seat, do you think I can get to it without having to drop the tank? it is right in the middle of those seat brackets.

[@mckoylach1622]

Great video. Can you tell me where the headlight relay is located on my 08 odyssey ? Thanks

[@cathykarcher3810]

Is there a way to test the Fuel Pump before removing and replacing it?

[@youngchoi4676]

Hi Bundy! Thanks for this great video! I have 04 Odyssey that won't start..it cranks but will not run. So far I have replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, and fuel pump..still experiencing an issue. I checked fuel pump relay which seems to be in good condition. I don't know what else to check or do now. Any advise please?

[@bundysgarage]

The fuel pump relays are known to go bad on these vehicles. Open it up and see If you see anything burned or you can even smell it and smell burnt plastic. If that's the case then most likey the relay is bad.

[@jaredmiller2128]

Great, great video. Two things, first you didn't show how you got the little plastic gasket onto the pump. It's a VERY tight fit to get it onto the pump and snugged up to the upper housing. For those watching, do that before putting the pump in the hole or you'll never get it on. Second, I wound up having to pull the new pump out and pull the new rubber gasket onto the pump's upper housing and then insert them into the hole at the same time. I tried doing it the way you showed but when I started the van, the gas level display showed it as empty. When I pulled the pump back out, I saw the rubber ring had worked its way into the tank and was interfering with the float. Other than that, it was a very simple repair that even a newbie can do. Thanks!

[@eksine]

good video man, I'm about to do this but just replace the electric motor. it's $10 on ebay and it's the same motor for the 6th gen accord v6. if the pump assembly electronics still work the motor is all you need

[@eksine]

I just did this. I am making a video of how to do a rebuild on the pump. fyi a 2x4 works good at removing the ring but it will really mess up the tabs, but it will still be useable

[@mnetzer6777]

Great video, helped a lot. New sub here

[@nickf8524]

How about the gas tank pressure value? I have a check engine light that won't turn off. Do I need to drop entire tank or is there an easier access?

[@bundysgarage]

I'm pretty sure you have to drop the tank to replace that part.

[@nickf8524]

@@bundysgarage ok, thanks

[@fotomedia1]

For those who want to replace just the fuel filter only you can't. The fuel filter on the Odyssey is part of the fuel pump assembly and is not meant to be replaced unless you have to replace the whole pump. Honda says it's not required to replace the fuel filter and is good of the life of the pump. It's all news to me, some cars made now days don't have any fuel filter.

[@bundysgarage]

Great point. Yes most modern cars do not have separate fuel filters. Which I think is stupid. Fuel is dirty and needs a filter to trap all the impurities. So they want you to waste money on a $200 fuel pump module rather than $8 - $12 bucks on a preventative maintenance item you could change out at every other oil change????

[@chriscockrell3023]

Nice job. You were worried about breaking the large ring when removing and didn't torque the new one down saying you didn't want to damage it. My guess is that you will never be in that area again so a little tapping like when removing would have been a good thing. I believe Honda wants 69lbs torque - that's is quite a bit to not do. Otherwise, GREAT job!

That plastic ring holding the fuel pump in,they make a special tool you can use a ratchet and extension on to remove it.Don't ever use an aftermarket fuel pump,will do the job all over again.Airtex is one of them not to use.The clips for the fuel lines,put them in the fuel lines and will go in much easier

[@Matanumi]

Chrysler had the same thing (we called it the pickle jar) on the 3rd and 4th gen voyager/caravan I had to do it there. you had to go from the bottom, jack it up and you only needed to drop a side of the tank to get it... was able to do it with an oil clamp wrench... this actually looks harder cause of how to get it

[@shannacooper2065]

Bundy wher is the fuel filter located on an 01 honda odyssey

[@bundysgarage]

It’s part of the fuel pump assembly. Honda use to have separate fuel filters that were not part of the assembly but they got rid of that. For what reason, I do not know.

+BakerProductions most likely it's your fuel pump relay/main relay goes bad on those. Fuel pumps rarely ever die on Hondas Acuras. My good buddy Eric the Car Guy has a video on how to test your main relay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJqsi2uha5WUrbs

You need to be more specific. What do you mean the AC won’t stop running? The air conditioning? The fan? Inside or Outside? The more specific you describe your problem the better I can help you.

BundysGarage not the fan the ac or when i turn the heat on like when i turn it off i can still feel the air or heat and thats what i think is makin my gas dropso fast

[@bundysgarage]

If the vehicle is off you are not wasting any gas. Shut off the AC or pull the compressor relay and see if the fuel still drops fast

[@xxcrazy-_-moddzzxx_2580]

BundysGarage where isthe compressor relay located

[@bundysgarage]

On Odyssey’s from 99 to 04 and prob later years as well. It sits under the hood. If your standing at the front of the car looking at the engine. It’s on your left close to the firewall. Fairly large fuse relay compartment. Pop the top off and look for the relay labeled MG Clutch relay. That’s the relay that energizes the AC compressor.

[@bundysgarage]

Jt could be but more likely its the fuel pump relay/main relay. Its located under the drivers side dash above the brake pedal.

[@clarkbingham408]

I replaced the main relay but it did not fix the problem. I started van twice with new switch but it quickly stalled both times so then I put back in the old switch. Should I have primed the pump more and tried to start the engine more with the new switch? Should I replace the pump? Could it be a bad coil? Thanks!

[@bundysgarage]

Here do this. Get some starting fluid. Open up the cover to the air filter. While you crank the engine have some spray the starting fluid down the air snorkel towards the throttle body. If it runs, then you know the fuel pump is bad. If it does not then it’s something else. Are you sure you have spark?

[@clarkbingham408]

I tried out the starting fluid to the throttle body and it ran for only a few seconds and then stalled. Tried it again but it wouldn't start at all. What would cause me to not have spark? How do I check that? Could the Crankshaft Position Sensor be bad? Thanks for the help!

[@bundysgarage]

Ok while you are cranking the car. Take out the coil pack. Pull it about half an inch away from the spark plug. You should see and hear a loud click of the spark jumping from the coil pack to the spark plug. You can do the exactly same thing with a spark plug and a spark plug wire. You gotta find out if you have spark.
