How to Install Fuel Pump E2469M in a 2006 - 2009 Ford Mustang

[@27GX76R]

Blessed are those engineers who made this so easily accessible. Dropping a fuel tank is NOT fun.

[@AirtexFuelPumps]

Agreed!

[@Lssjg702]

Camaro engineers are imbeciles then lol. Cuz I have to drop the tank.

[@fatknucklesproductions7517]

Most Japanese and German cars have had fuel pump access panels through back seat or trunks since the early 90s

That locking ring was the tricky part of this job. I had to re-use the old O-ring as the new one was too hard to compress. Then, I filed the leading edge of each of the engagement points so it would catch properly. POS...thanks FORD.

[@ioccatonyz1]

Great video I just completed this on my 2007 4.6L GT. 85K miles, I can add some tips; The cleaning out the bottom of the tank took the longest time. I had 11 miles to empty and still removed just shy of 2 gallons. The last little bit was adsorbed with an old T-shirt no wring out was required. I had very little grit at the bottom but there was a large spring, 3 small rubber caps, and 2 larger rubber caps on the bottom of the tank. Micro fiber cloth grabs the grit better than a paper towel or even a cotton shirt. The tank has a reservoir built around the pump use compressed air and blow out around the tight sides. Use a flashlight keep wiping and blowing until all particles have been wiped out. I poured a few ounces of Lucas gas treatment in the bottom of the Reservoir to give plenty of lube for the first start up. The locking ring was fairly easy to remove just tap it out don't hit it so hard and bend it. "Center the pump" Next using pliers bend the leading edge of the locking ring's tabs ever so slightly downward so they start to slip under the locking lugs better. Locking the ring back on the new pump was not so easy I used a new rubber O-ring so I needed some downward pressure, a tuna can fit over the plug and fuel nipple so even pressure was able to be applied with my foot. Tap it on make sure all tabs are locking in their lugs don't force or hit so hard or the ring will get mutilated getting it all the way into the locked position. Once mine was well started I used an air-hammer to fully lock it in. If you do not have an air-hammer apply a thin coat of oil to the Locking ring's mating surfaces. Many taps are needed to get it properly locked. Just look at the passenger side to review a fully locked ring. If not locked all the way an air leak is probable. I hope these tips helped let me know if you have anything to add. or what you found inside your tank like maybe Jimmy Hoffa...

[@AirtexFuelPumps]

Thanks for your input on your experience with this job.

[@aSomberAugust]

Just so everyone knows. There are two access panels in the back seat. One is for the fuel pump. One is for the fuel level sending unit. DO NOT take the locking ring off unless you have the seals. Know which one is which. It's easy to tell. The fuel pump has a fuel line going to it. The fuel level sending unit does not. And to clarify. The fuel pump is the one on the drivers side. He said left in the video which isn't very specific. To make your videos better. Because left or right could be different depending on what way your looking at it. From front or rear. You NEED to specify passenger side, or drivers side. (US Models) and the opposite for the UK models etc.

[@alejandroo260]

Lol do you even work on cars driver side i left passenger side is right you always refer to everything as if you were sitting in the driver seat

[@mb2371]

Um....no! There is two access holes left side is fuel pump and tank level sending unit. Right side is a transfer pump to transfer fuel to the fuel pump on the left because this vehicle has a saddle tank.

[@ioccatonyz1]

Thanks, I was looking for what the unit on the passenger side is for. Yes it is better to use driver/passenger rather than left/right...

[@luisguzman9248]

Hey I'm trying to figure out why my sending unit side , does not have power for a 2010 v6 mustang,

[@aSomberAugust]

@@luisguzman9248 sounds like a harness problem. Test your plugs those are usually the case. Continuity check through each wire to find the open. And eliminate the plugs if there’s zero continuity.

My 2006 Mustang started missing a beat, and the 'ole code reader said I had a P0191 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor message. This "how to" was one of the many I took in before calling the local parts palace. They ordered me up an Airtex E2469M and I installed it the next day. The Rustang runs great and the fuel quantity is still accurate. Great product and a fine video. Thanks for your help!

[@Dontana69]

Brian from Hebron say Brian, did you also replace the sensor? or filter? I also have an 06, and the dang thing will only sputter after idling 5 minutes in high outdoor heat...I have usually cleared it with my diablo tuner , but it seems lately, like today, it don't care about the tuner,,lol...

[@Hacunamattata]

+Donald Malson does the 06 v6 has a fuel presure regulator?

[@Hacunamattata]

does the v6 06 has a fuel presure regulator?

[@ioccatonyz1]

Yes they have a fuel pressure regulator that tries to keep the pressure at 39psi. The pump, pumps much higher than that to satisfy the higher fuel demands of highway speeds...

[@Azulesojos]

So you just changed the fuel pump to get the P0191 code to disappear? I tried to replace the fuel rail pressure sensor to no avail.

[@Cuda52774]

Thanks so much. Shop wanted to charge me $500. This made it easy!

Great video I'm pretty sure my fuel pump is going out. My car jerks when I drive up a hill or at night when I have my headlights on. I did put new fuel filter,spark plugs,ignition coils, I went and upgraded my alternator to a higher output one new serpentine belt. Car shops around here they act like you don't know what you are talking about when you tell them what the car is doing and they want you to leave the car with them so they can work on it when they feel like it. Thankfully I can find great help watching videos and I can attempt to fix it myself. I would be looking to install a new pump soon. Thanks i subscribed

[@asaelalvarez7987]

Guys if it’s your first time installing it make sure that the lock ring (green or white ring) is flush with the top of the lid of the pump. Makes it so much more easier

[@TronHardy]

For those who struggle with sealing the pump and locking ring, try using a gooseneck pry bar to hold the lid down while a friend secures the locking ring.

On my 06 GT, when the fuel gauge needle gets to the halfway point, it will suddenly drop all the way as if the tank is empty. The Ford dealership mechanic says this is because fuel isn’t transferring from one side of the “saddle “ to the fuel pump. Will a new fuel pump fix this? Btw, they want over a thousand dollars to replace the pump and filter.

This pump applies to 2006-2009 Mustangs with the 4.0 v6 and the 4.6 v8.

[@lobster928]

where do you connect the gauge? i cant find the hose or whatever to test it.

[@AirtexFuelPumps]

All three engines: 4.0, 4.6 and 5.4 attach on the drivers side of the engine. Each engine has its own way to attach the pressure gauge. Your local parts store may be able to assist in acquiring the needed components.

[@lobster928]

my vehicle is not starting so is there a link i go to that will show me the location of the shrader valve?

[@AirtexFuelPumps]

Lets narrow things down. What engine do you have in your Mustang? 4.0, 4.6 or 5.4. Each engine has its own arrangement. All engines; 4.0, 4.6 and 5.4 will require the use of a Fuel Pressure Test Kit 310-D009 / D95L-7211-A or equivalent tool.

[@AirtexFuelPumps]

If the vehicle does not have a test port / Schrader valve to attach a gauge you will need an adapter that goes between the feed line and the fuel rail that has the accommodations for the gauge. All engines; 4.0, 4.6 and 5.4 will require the use of a Fuel Pressure Test Kit 310-D009 / D95L-7211-A or equivalent tool.

[@kaylasaylor207]

is this doable without the pressure gauge?

[@SacrificialHam]

Just disconnect the Fuel filter line leading to the the gas tank to relieve the fuel line pressure so you don't make a mess in the car.

[@SacrificialHam]

Sorry I should be clearer on the process. First locate your fuel pump relay fuse. Pull the fuel pump relay fuse and try to start the car 5 times to relieve the fuel pressure. Next, make sure you disconnect your negative battery terminal. Jack the car up so you have access to the underside of the car. the fuel filter is located directly under the drivers side of the car behind a large plastic shield which protects it. (There are many videos on how to remove and replace the filter which is always a good idea to change when replacing a fuel pump.) Remove the shield which is secured using a few 10mm nuts. Undo both fuel line clips on either side of the filter and remove filter. The fuel line on the filter facing the rear of the car is the fuel line that goes directly to the fuel pump. Once the pressure is released in that line by disconnecting the filter it should be safe to remove the fuel line from the pump.

Trudle body the car engine its perfect n has alot of power for not been the v8 has alot of torque. As soon as u step on the gas goes. Has 140k miles trasmition runs perfect. Just. When im idleling n the fan comes on the rpm drops. Also when i get to a stop sign n turn the steering weel n hit the gas the car fells like the tracktion control gets engage even when i turn it off ,now if u turn normal n hit the gas normal the problem doesnt happen ,thats berry weir but i drive slow n save anyways so it dont matter but i cant find out why it does that ,also when the car been off for 1 or 2 days ,never starts right away. Only if u crank the car for 4 ,5 seconds. Then starts right away the 2nd try. I know fuel needs to get to the injectors. So 1st try no 2nds try start right like a new car so im thinking something is not working right,has new battery the car runs n acts perfect just has that idle drop when gets a load ,mechanics said was normal oh n the steering weel shake when it happends the car rattle. Then rpms goes to 750 it happend really fast just imagine in ur head look Car is idleling good the fan comes on rpm drops to 500 n goes back to 750 in 1 second n thats not normal The car should drop rpms from 750 to 745 just a tinny lil bit that its not noticeble thats normal So i was thinking the pump or the fuel regulator or module its not working right,the car should automatic know that a load its coming on the engine n either pump more gas or presure to the injectors or something ,i change amf ,n wasnt the problem i change throdle body n wast the proble ingnition wasnt the problem leak on vacum not at all its perfect ,ahhhh idk dude alternator new one works perfect been check battery new. No oil leak nothing car its perfect exept that issue n its driving me crazy ,i fire my mechanic because my e brake snap. So i call a tow truck.
