Fuel Pump Replacement - Toyota Camry V6

[@NZRanger]

1) Make sure you disconnect the battery 2) Release pressure from the fuel tank by opening the fuel cap before doing this and that will stop the fuel pouring out

[@hardlymovingpro]

You don't have to disconnect the battery. Everyone wants to feel safe by unnecessarily disconnecting the battery. If you really want to avoid any fuel spill, disconnect the plug from the fuel pump assembly, start the car and let it run until the engine stalls out from fuel starvation. Removing the fuel cap does nothing.

Hello, I have a question. When I removed the fuel line it didn't spew fuel. Is this a sign something else is wrong? I didn't take an precautions for it not to spew fuel. Besides stuffing paper towels around the opening. 😁

Could be a sign that your fuel pump's pressure is declining which would make its replacement prudent.

I am a girl and I used this video to successfully replace my filter and pump. Yayay I recommend getting some paper towels and gloves and an old tooth brush. I used the old tooth brush to clean off the top so it didn't get dirt in the fuel. Then I stuffed the area around the hole with paper towels. This kept me from loosing at least three screws down there. If I wouldn't have stuffed it with paper towels I'd have been screwed. Pun intended haha😁 Thanks for the awesome video and answering my questions No one would have fixed my car on Christmas and I wouldn't be able to go to work. Thanks, you're the best.

Great video! Could a bad fuel pump possibly cause a P0430 code (catalyst efficiency below threshold)? I have a 2002 Camry V6 (176K miles) with this code, and thought maybe my catalytic converter was plugged up, as the performance has been lacking. It passed the back pressure test with flying colors, so now I'm wondering about the likelihood of a plugged fuel filter or bad fuel pump. I couldn't locate a schrader valve to do a fuel pressure test, so now I'll try to find out how to test the pump. Thanks!

[@hardlymovingpro]

Nope. P0430 isn't a fuel related problem. Have your converter checked out. If the input temp into the cat is the same as the output temp, your converter isn't working anymore.

Excellent access to fuel pump unlike many others where you have to drop the tank european vehicles take note

[@hardlymovingpro]

I know. The Japanese car manufacturer engineers are smart. I guess they assumed that one day the pump may give out and may require servicing; so they designed a service access port leading to the fuel pump assembly. Also, not all American engineers have followed the Japanese engineering mindset. So its not just European vehicles. Thanks for your comment!

I have an 07 Camry. It starts up great when the engine is cool but when it gets how and I try to turn it back on I have to pump the gas a couple of times and hurry to put it in drive so it won’t stall. I’ve ruled out alternator, battery, starter. I literally have to pump the gas while turning the key and it still splutters for a while and then turns over when it cools down. I’m leaning towards fuel pump issue, any thoughts/suggestions? Thank you in advance

[@hardlymovingpro]

Had a similar problem with a customer's Kia Sportage. The problem was isolated to a malfunctioning EVAP purge valve located in his engine compartment. See if relieving the vacuum pressure in your gas tank by removing the gas cap before attempting to start the car may stop the stall.

Have both your battery and your starter motor checked out. The battery should be putting out over 500 amps but I'd bet your starter motor solenoid is worn and gets stuck.

[@hardlymovingpro]

@@mdashiqurrahman39 Yes. I'm a mechanic. When I ask a customer their driving habits after replacing their pump, they say they like to drive their car's tank down to empty before filling up. That what makes the pump burn out over time. Only exception was a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. The ethanol dissolved the fuel pump screen and the melted goo residue got sucked into the pump.

I think Toyota integrated the fuel filter within the assembly to force you to consider changing the pump if you're going to replace just the filter. Flat spots could possibly be injectors that aren't delivering good atomized fuel under load? They need a cleaning?

Good, informative video. 👍🏻 Don't know if you can edit a video that has already been uploaded but if not, maybe you could add the following tip to the description. When you're ready to remove the fuel line, start the vehicle, remove the fuel pump's electrical connection & allow the car to continue running until the fuel that was still in the line between the pump & the engine has been used, at which point the engine will stop running. This step will dramatically reduce the amout of fuel spillage from the removal of the fuel line. 👌🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@hardlymovingpro]

Yes. You're absolutely correct. But as strange as it may sound, I used the leaked fuel to blow off the accumulated debris with compressed air in lieu of using an aerosol brake clean solvent. I'll still add your tip to the description.

[@DoyleFM]

@@hardlymovingpro Cool. 👍🏻 I had to pull the pump of my wife's 2012 Camry & I used my air compressor to blow the debris from the top of the tank before I did anything at all. When the flood of my fuel line removal started, I plugged it back in & remembered the "run it dry trick". Years ago, we'd use gasoline to clean wheel bearings for repacking, so it makes sense that you were able to clean it with the spilled gas. 👍🏻

@@DoyleFM i was going to ask if this works for all Toyota Camry or even RAV4. I’ve got a 2012 & 1996 V6 Camrys. This looks great. Best way to not damage the fuel pump is to allow the automatic gas dispenser hose to stop while it’s filling the gas tank and not fill it till it tops off.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Actually the opposite. The gas in your tank keeps your fuel pump from overheating. Running your tank to empty overheats the electric pump.

So we just followed your video but when we took out the pump the filter was filled with debris.

The car have an key ignition instead of a button. We try turning it three time like in the video. The car did start b4 we did this. What is your opinion about this matter

[@hardlymovingpro]

Did you change out the pump? If you have no tools for measuring fuel pressure, you can disconnect the fuel line (it's a quick connector) and see if there's any residual pressure. If not, your pump has failed or not putting out good pressure.

It was smooth running for two months until the vibration started.. So I'm not not sure what to change now. But I'm sure it's fuel related issue. Injectors, fuel pump, or fuel regulator. Because I head the clucking noise in the fuel pipe which is between bank 1 and 2 in 1mz-fe engine.

I'm thinking about replacing the original fuel pump on my 190k miles 1999 ES300 (and the other fuel filter within the pump too.. is that a good idea?). I have no codes, but feel hesitation sometimes. I also climb slow up hills and hope it's a fuel pressure thing. Something about testing fuel pressure in the service manual confuses me though. It says to "buy a new No1 fuel pipe and take out the fuel tube connector" 23801-20060 (23801-20061)" and proceed with the fuel pressure testing directions with that fuel tube connector. Why would I need to buy a new one if my car already has this fuel tube connector on it, and the fuel pressure testing only uses 1 of these?

A habit of running the fuel tank to empty ruins fuel pumps. People don't realize that fuel in the tank serves as a coolant for the pump. Another cause may be too much back pressure from a clogged fuel filter (that's integrated in the assembly). Lastly, could be a low quality fuel pump. The OEM pump is made by Denso.

Hi, I have the same car setup like you. Sometime when I crank and it wont start but if I wait like 10-15 mins later it start and drive normally this is happening 2 times now and it was recenly. Is it the symptom of fuel pump problem? my car is at 223,000 miles. thank!

[@hardlymovingpro]

I forgot the name of the part but it's a electronic part that's suppose to enrich the air/fuel mixture during start up. It has nothing to do with the fuel pump.

Per the Toyota technician's service manual: Run the car with fuel pump disconnected until the car quits. This will depressurize the fuel lines. *this process also works when replacing the fuel filter.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Yes ... you can do that ... but I like to use the fuel spill over to clean up all the dust and debris with compressed air.

[@ms8434]

@@hardlymovingpro guessing it leaves a nice smell as well. There is a reason Toyota has it in their service manual. Safety. The fuel tank has lots of debris. That is what the fuel filter is for but if someone follows your instructions and gets gasoline in their eyes...

[@hardlymovingpro]

The access cover separates the tank and pump from the interior. Therefore any fuel spill stays outside. The pump ring and surrounding area is usually covered with debris which should be cleaned off before pulling out the assembly. I use to use compressed air and brake clean (more flammable than gas). Then i figured out to use the gas from the release of the fuel line. BTW - the people writing the repair instructions are newbie engineers with no hands on repair experience.

[@atxjax1]

Is there a good way to test fuel pressure on these 2G-RFE engines to verify the pump is bad? I'm getting a P0300 code. Already changed my plugs with NGK's, smoke tested the intake and verified the dampner isnt leaking.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Then you've got a coil pack problem. 0300 is random cylinder misfire. 301 (cyl 1), 302 (cyl 2), etc. tells you what specific cylinder is misfiring.

[@atxjax1]

@@hardlymovingpro yes sir. Understood. The only code I get is P0300. Not any specific cylinder ones.

[@hardlymovingpro]

@@atxjax1 Clear the code, start the engine and rev up and down to 3,500 which may force a specific cylinder misfire.

@@hardlymovingpro I was able to troubleshoot some on this car. It had P0300 but then went off. Was still pending though. I smoke tested it, checked fuel pressure all ok. I looked at the front 3 plugs and they looked like they were still in good shape. I cleaned the TB and put a new air filter. No P0300 after 2 weeks.

I did the exact same repair on a 2003 Camry 4 cyl. Not too hard for an experienced car guy, just a little intricate.bought the same pump too.why can’t all the cars have that same access to the pump.

That's right. Repair concept can be performed on other Toyota passenger vehicles with minor differences.

[@hardlymovingpro]

If you want to be absolutely certain of no failures and of it lasting a good, long time, go with the Denso brand. Denso is the OEM provider for most Japanese cars. The Amazon listing for the fuel pump is shown in the "SHOW MORE" area of this video's description.

[@lukeskywalker354]

How dirty was the fuel pump filter. The reason I ask is because I’m thinking about changing mine I have a 2010 camary wih a 130,000 miles and I talk to a couple people and they say they really don’t get dirty is that true did you find that with yours. Yours didn’t look really dirty but then again I couldn’t really tell. Great video, thanks

[@hardlymovingpro]

I would agree that it didn't look dirty but it's made out of some plastic polymer material and who knows if it'll break down over time. In some past cars I've worked on that had been idle for a long time, some would not start due to traces of dissolved screen material clogging into fuel pump's intake fuel port. These pump filters are cheap and many replacement pump kits come with new screens. Also, not showing proof that the filter was replaced with the pump may void any pump warranty claims.

[@lukeskywalker354]

I totally agree and I would most likely replace mine when it gets close to 200,000 miles and the fuel pump. It’s better to keep up on the Preventive Maintenance than to wait the last minute when your fuel pump has broken down because of age and old filter. Anyway thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the great videos.

[@hardlymovingpro]

Thanks! The key to pump longevity is to not let your fuel tank go below 1/4 of a tank. The fuel acts as a coolant to keep the pump from overheating. The people who brag that they can drive their car to near empty are the ones whose fuel pump fails and are scratching their head as to why. After my explanation on fuel cooling, they're speechless and give me a dumb stare. This is no different than people who ride the clutch at a stop light hill instead of using their brakes and wonder why their clutch burned out in 30k miles.

[@awakeandalive4248]

@@hardlymovingpro. Where can I get the tool you use for disconnecting the electrical plug, I saw another video and this guy actually broke the locking tab and I don't want to do that, the reason I need to remove the fuel pump on my 1998 Toyota Camry le 4cylinder is because there's a gas leak on top of the fuel pump it looks like is coming from the fuel line but I need to remove the electrical connector first and then the 8mm bolts to have a better look at it, fortunately for me I got another 1998 Toyota Camry that I'm not driving and I'm going to have the junkyard get rid of it but the fuel pump from that car is perfectly fine so I'm just going to remove the whole unit from one car and install it on the other more likely that will take care of the leak, the only challenge I see is disconnecting the electrical connector and the also the fuel line locking tabs on the fuel line hose. So I appreciate the name of the tool you use so I can buy it thanks

I have Toyota Avalon 2008 about 110000 miles. The car stars fine when cool. When I have driven for about 30 minutes and the engine is hot it struggled to start again, it will start and die. it may take it about 3 to 4 cranks to start up. I have a new starter, alternator and battery. Note there are no Check engine light. I am even pleading for check engine light so to have a better diagnostic, but none.

Could be something malfunctioning with the car's EVAP system.

If you want, you can start the car with the electrical plug disconnected and wait for the car to run out of fuel. I like the fuel spill using it as a solvent to blow off the accumulated debris with compressed air.

[@ev25zv]

@@kashie007 While I do my own repairs because I enjoy it and it saves a boatload of money, anytime you're paying a tradesman lots of money to do something, you're paying for their experience and knowledge not for how long it takes them to do something. The rip is always in the dealer marking up the price of a part they buy at wholesale to a price higher than retail. If I can buy a part at Autozone for $200, which is already high because you're paying for the convivence of them keeping the part in stock and having to maintain a storefront, the same exact part shouldn't be marked up to $300 when the dealer is installing the part.
