How to access the Fuel Pump housing & filter on a Toyota Celica

This video shows how to access and replace the fuel pump housing. You follow the same steps to access/replace the fuel pump (the cylinder shape unit inside the housing), Or if you are replacing the fuel filter (the L-shape mesh filter). The hardest part is to disconnect Toyota's crazy-engineered sockets/connectors (all different!)
*Do not smoke during project!
*Do not drop anything into the fuel tank, cover it after open.
Tools needed: Socket 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, Flat head screwdrivers in different sizes, plus whatever you see in video.

Me too, and I am a 62-year-old woman with zero car experience. OK it took me a two tries to get it right. This video is super, super helpful. Thank you so much!

[@dxm57]

You're the ONLY person I have ever seen on KZbin that doesn't, doesn't write instructions and and is so clear on what is being done - and with an excellent demonstration of what to look out for and how to do it!!!

[@sherabpuntsok2418]

I been trying to find a video like this with no luck until now. My car is a Toyota Vitz 2003 model it has the exact same fuel pump structure. Without this video I can not dismantle mine. Thanks for your great video!

[@kwok3d]

I was looking for a video like this years back but no luck too. So we made it :D now there are tons of similar video, some were re-created based on this one.

[@tardeliesmagic]

Good video and mine is a 2002 Yaris (UK) and it's die a fuel filter but i'm not sure if i'll mess it up but this is will give me confidence.Would i disconnect the fuel pump and start the engine abit as in oanother video petrol burst out alot.

Excellent job on the video - thank you very much for posting it. Followed it almost exactly and my change went very smooth. Thanks again!

[@jackiechan6460]

Thanks. This helped me find the fuel pump location on my 91 Celica GT. Before it went down, I had filled up with about 10 gallons. So I pumped it all out, and filled my 91 Integra LS. Thanks for the video. Saved me almost 30 bux for an hours worth of work. Not bad!

Awesome 👏🏻 job I will do it soon on my Celica thanks 🙏 for the video it’s gonna be very helpful 🙏🙏🙏

[@MrGrogee]

THANK YOU for posting this video - I got to the evaporator pipe connection and didn't want to force it, so checked the workshop manual and that was no help at all! The two-screwdriver trick plus slip joints looks like what I need to try. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@thetorturechamber]

Hey man I'm at the same spot I read the clips need to push together than pulled off but it's not budging... But looks like he did the opposite with the 2 screwdrivers pushing them out 😵😵 lol I'm sitting here cursing an swearing lol let me try pushing out like you hope it works lol

[@G-spotGeorge]

I did it by putting two screwdrivers in then hammering on one at a time it popped off right away

I want to thank you for this video tutorial, but in my Celica VVt-i MY2000, under the glued cover, i found only a connector, not two. Also i had to remove from the old filter an oring, which fit into the float. The important thing is...before unmont the float, see and remember his position!

[@Blezerker]

Hi! Thank you very much for posting this video. What you replaced there, was that the entire fuel pump? I'm not really car savvy yet but I hope I will be in the future! My 04 celica is pushing 150k miles right now and I'm under the impression that the fuel pump/filter has never been replaced. Do you think this is something i can do myself?

[@temelon]

I have a Yaris Verso 2001 which is basically same as Vitz or Echo. We tried to open inner lid but screws were so tight (rusted obviously) that we could not open them. The screws are rounded (phillips) with no sharp edges, not like hex screws. Do you have an advice how can we open the lid? Socket will work on that or will it possibly just slip?

[@witcher3899]

can you show how to access and clean fuel tank ventilation on celica please ? cant fill up its clicking off

[@andrewbender4359]

How did you remove the emission tube at 2:53? I was trying to remove mine but had no luck and its infuriating me.

[@danielriggleman5336]

What's the part the hooks on top of the fuel filter? I need a replacement and can't find it.

[@carsmasher]

I just did mine on my 2000 Celica. You can cheat a little and not remove the entire back seat, just the lower part. have someone hold it up or prop it up with something.

Good job. Is this suggested for preventative maintenance? According the reviews, I suspect so, especially at 165k miles.

[@fluxcapacitor1621]

You at least need to get in there to install a new strainer and fuel filter. They're all dirty given the age of these.

Thanks for the video, saved me big bucks. I lost that yellow retainer clip holding the feed line at 2:32! any idea where I can buy one or what is it called,

Same! I had to get one direct from Toyota

[@gravitycharge]

i just used a small paper clip and twisted it tight after putting it through the holes. Works great.

[@jorgevasconsellos1491]

Great video... but i'd like to know something...Dont you have to pressurize the the fuel tank before start the engine?

[@TrieuNguyen-wn6zg]

Jorge Vasconsellos what do you mean by pressurize? I think just close fuel cap and turn key to On, fuel pump will activate, fuel line is primed, pressure is created, from then just start. also, because the job is long and filter is suppose to last a long time (at least 80,000 miles), I'd go with Toyota genuine filter instead of a cheapo, peace of mind

[@elvisaaron1970]

is it the same on an 1989 celica st

[@davidathomas42]

CAN PEOPLE please stop closing the hood by pushing it hard and bending the metal. Drop close is the way to do it.

[@brycewallace120]

If your hood latch it messed up this is the only way it will close I've had 2 of these cars behave this way but both were pre facelift

[@jimmyfavereau]

hi KO why replace the 'housing' what was the fault/issue? I have a 2000 echo and the i can hear the pump going on and off , on and off.. got a 'lean' code and everything else checks out.. seals, gaskets, MAF ect..about to open it up and find out :D thanks for sharing the info

Its usually the filter guys, i have the issue to with misfire but i goes away when i fill the tank up. Its the filter, they say to change everything which is true but me being broke i did it cheap and change my filter, it works fine now but belive me guys the pump will go soon. So just be ready

[@okayman2057]

I got my friend to change the L shape Mesh called the fuel suction filter, and the pump and its not hesitating as much now. But still causes some misfire. When he took it off, we can see that the real fuel filter ( inside the plastic casing) was super dirty. so now we gotta find where purchase it.

[@guillermodiesteponzan2741]

Hi, maybe you can help me. I recently changed the filter and from that moment the car has a hard time starting, do you know what the reason may be? Thanks

[@oscarm8952]

it could be that the filter must be full of gas so that the flow is constant or that you forgot to tighten one of the sensor connectors that the gas pump has

I'm going to change the filter too and I hope I don't have your problem later

You should practice some humility and suck dick

[@lionlight777]

Your car still cranked to long.. you need to check your coils, spark plugs and/or fuel injectors.

[@harman1967]

The first start will take a little longer because the pump needs to draw fuel through the new dry filter.

[@wtfjsm]

I just ran my 2001 Toyota Celica GT almost all the way out of gas all the bars were gone it started to sputter I pulled it straight into a gas station shut it off filled it up and then after I started it I have an engine light and engine misfire please help

[@stevegardnermax]

Your check engine light may have only come on to let you know that you ran out of fuel and your having a fuel flow problem now, now that you've refueled it if it's running fine it may go out on its own or you'll need to use a code reader and reset the check engine light to turn it off. but if sucked in a lot of dirt from the bottom of your tank and it's running really bad you'll need to replace the filter.

[@wtfjsm]

@@stevegardnermax it was reading cylinder 2 misfire I changed the plugs and now it's reading multiple misfires lean bank

[@stevegardnermax]

@@wtfjsm your fuel filter is probably clogged up and blocking your fuel supply which would be causing the misfiring lean reading on all cylinders

[@wtfjsm]

@@stevegardnermax I've done the spark plugs I did the coil packs the only thing left is the injectors and fuel pump in the fuel filter but if I change the fuel filter I also have to change the fuel pump correct or can I just change the fuel filter by itself and if so, do I still have to get inside the tank to change it

[@stevegardnermax]

The same problems just started on my 02 Celica GT, random codes jumping everywhere lean bank, misfires, 02 sensor, throttle position sensor, fuel injection.. so I replaced the plugs, bought some new $30.00 eBay fuel injectors and a $25.00 fuel filter, it turned out to be the fuel filter in my case also. When I pulled it out and dumped it, it looked like it was full of thick black coffee. Should have listened to my own advice first, the fuel pump was actually fine and it was actually a really easy job, the KZbin video makes it look more difficult than it actually is, now the check engine light is out and the car runs better than ever.

[@rockallday0]

Man, that seems like a lot of work. Pass! lmao

[@XJlover90]

They make fuel line connection tools, don't use pliers and two flat heads like this, it can break the connection then you'll have to get new fuel lines.

[@kwok3d]

We should all send the job to dealerships for proper repairs.
