Yet another excellent video Chap 👍 I am thinking of making my 2000 GS300 E85 compatible.

[@theautochap]

Appreciate the kind words! That sounds like an interesting project, always interested in ways to increase power on the GS. Let us know how it goes! Thanks for watching! 😀

You’re welcome, thanks for watching.

[@nexora326]

Your videos are really helpfull ! Will you soon show how to replace to TPS on the GS300. I had to do mine but it seems I forget to calibrate it. Thank you !

[@theautochap]

Hello! Unfortunately this will be the last video for the GS as I have decided to part ways with it. Thanks for watching!

@@theautochaphey what are the mechanical pump symptoms . My car bad been shutting off randomly in the last month and loses power sometimes but cranks back up after 15 or 20 min

[@ibrahimlorgat5829]

Of all the videos i have watched yours is excellent. Quick question. I am only replacing fuel pump. Do i have to drain the gas

[@theautochap]

Hello! The only reason I drained my tank is because the fuel inside sat for over a year and I didn’t want to risk old fuel in my engine. If your fuel is not old, you don’t have to drain the gas and you can just replace the fuel pump! Just make sure to replace the fuel filters at the same too, it’s generally never a good idea to reuse fuel filters. Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you leaving a comment and I’m glad you found the video helpful 😀

My fuel sub suction hose was so brittle it completely broke coming off do you know how to replace that hose? The 2nd clamp to the hard line is not accessible do you have to replace the whole hard line assembly?

[@theautochap]

Hello, I had a look at the factory service manual, unfortunately it does not show where that hose goes. I found this post on IS 300 forums which should apply to GS 300s also. Have a look at it here - www.my.is/threads/fuel-pump-submerged-rubber-hose.614293/ It says that hose is not sold separately but rather part of the fuel tank assembly. You should be able to replace it with any submersible fuel hose. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching! :)

Question. My fuel gauge is never accurate. In the video both sides of the tank had level sensors. Which one controls my gauge?Another great video.

[@theautochap]

Hello! The meter ECU uses the signals from BOTH the senders (left and right) to calculate the remaining fuel level. This is because the fuel tank is actually split over the middle driveshaft tunnel under the car so there are effectively two chambers in the fuel tank. So you’d need to check both the senders to see which one is causing problems. Thanks for watching! 😀

[@samaccurso]

Just curious, why did you feel this was needed to be done at this time on your car? Thanks, great video.

[@theautochap]

Hello! There was no specific reason I did this other than to freshen the car up. Thanks for watching! 😊

If you by a new fuel pump those o rings are included in the kit, along with the little rubber hose

[@theautochap]

The fuel pump kit I used came with only one o-ring, which is for the fuel pump itself, as I show in the video. Thanks for watching!

[@804MRMAN]

@theautochap That sucks. Already had a new suction plate, so one came on there. Being that I have 3 2nd gen gs300's I can tell you from experience CHANGE ALL PLASTIC PARTS ONCE YOU DISASSEMBLE THE FUEL PUMP.

[@lomarr332]

not always

[@804MRMAN]

@@lomarr332 When you buy OEM, always! Even when you get aftermarket such as Deatschworks. But hey you buy cheap products they cheap out on simple things such as small rubber gaskets
