How to replace the fuel pump on a 03-08 Toyota Matrix

[@MarzNet256]

Cool. I have a 2006 Matrix with 200k that I recently replaced starter on. If you pull the fan shroud the starter is right there and you can do the whole thing topside.

[@2zzlow]

yea check my other videos, that was actually the next thing i did to this car.

[@linettecurate3415]

Ngl the spider would’ve made me give up for the day😩🤣🤣🤣 I have to change my fuel pump TODAY and this video was PERFECT.

[@RobertWierzbowski]

Thanks for calling out the difference between the matrix and the vibe.

[@user-dd2em9uk7n]

awesome, im stranded right now and im thinking its my fuel pump. my matrix started up no problem 20 seconds into idling she shut off. i have crank but no start. how can i check if its a fuel pump relay or fuel pump. My efi fuse is ok!

[@AmeriFanPicker]

Good idea to vacuum that area before pulling the pump out…woulda got that spider too lol. Luckily it wasn’t a brown recluse lol.

[@2zzlow]

lol it was something I haven't seen before tho. weird color

[@Makal.0w0]

Thanks man! I have a 340 lph going in and this was helpful

[@phxamigo]

Clean is good! vacuum all debris near fuel pump before removing it, so it doesn't fall in tank and cause issues in the future.

[@2zzlow]

You know it!

[@LuLu-zx6pf]

I squeezed hard like you said and snapped the pressure valve off😤

[@puregsr]

FYI, torque spec for the cover is 53 in-lbs (6 N-m)

[@Mikefngarage]

YOU FORGOT SOMETHING very important......Please pin this comment. THE HOUSEING CONTAINS THE FUEL FILTER.....YOU DID NOT REPLACE IT.....no not the pickup screen. Inside that plastic thing is the fuel filter. Should be replaced with every pump or it may fail because of extra strain on the pump.

[@jacquelynsmith1753]

Thank you, so ,I need a Denso fuel pump and filter?

[@Mikefngarage]

@@jacquelynsmith1753 I would get the whole unit. they are available like that. there is a after market one that is not that expensive that does work ok. Maybe not Denso but they do work good. I got one on ebay or amazon. with some sort of name brand works great. and fixed my problem.

[@andrewwong3326]

You are a bad influence! I just ordered a new Denso pump for my car haha.

[@2zzlow]

ohh no! lol just doing my thing bro

[@chrisk6298]

You forgot to change the fuel filter. The strainer goes on the bottom of the pump as you did. The filter itself is what the actual pump sits in, and it pumps the fuel through it. Otherwise, nice video.

[@christiancinnamon7393]

The 03 vibe gt is this exactly. Only difference is I live in the midwest and the bolts are powder gotta wait on a new retaining ring before I swap the tank.

[@attachedsilver8929]

put the updated Corolla/Matrix blue injectors used in 07 & 08. Much better than the green ones which were prone to cracking and failing. Best injectors for a 1zz & what I run on the celica.

[@2zzlow]

I do have the blue ones, If this don’t fix it then I’ll swap them out.

[@hanielbomb]

@@2zzlow so how much better are the blue injectors compared to the green ones? I’ve heard similar thing on the celica forums but not much in specific on how better wise, hope answered with knowledge and inoffensive information

[@MathiasMaximus]

What should I look for to find them

[@Ifixstuf]

Sad, my 03 is at 400k from brand new. Brakes, belts plugs tires wheel bearings and bushings. Sucks this one gives you so much trouble

[@2zzlow]

Yea, luckily it does create content for the channel to help others out.

[@markhuerta8195]

I’m going through the same thing about my matrix lol trying to get my other car fix

[@uoykcajssa]

the adhesive around the pump cover is known as 'butyl tape' . . . just an FYI.

[@2zzlow]

thanks for the info, will try to remember that!

[@mnorman8227]

there is a SPIDER!! LOL!

[@2zzlow]

let that little guy live! lol

[@LuisGomez-lp7fd]

Good video , thanks 👏👏👏

[@2zzlow]

No problem 👍

[@nicacrush]

Thanks for the video! How did you diagnose the problem. And discover it was the fuel pump?

[@2zzlow]

The car would have a hard time staying on, would sputter and eventually die. Checked for spark and that was good, obviously air was not an issue so I turned to fuel being my issue

[@richardhermosillo8745]

I have a Toyota matrix 2009 1.8L I looked up the fuel pump on AutoZone but none of the new ones have the the little bag. Would it be okay to just buy the whole fuel pump without the bag maybe because my matrix doesn't need it ?

[@Irvin_Wright]

Good job mijo

[@2zzlow]

gracias!

[@MathiasMaximus]

Hey man i got a PO171 code. Any ideas ? I think ots a clogged fuel injector

[@Irvin_Wright]

Yo Cbass! I'ma buy your 6th gen some eye lashes like that!

[@2zzlow]

fuck no!!! lmao

[@_GRaViTRoPe_]

what year is your dad's matrix? I ordered a denso fuel pump from rock auto for my 2007 matrix and the one I got looks different. I think I may have received the pump for a vibe.

[@2zzlow]

What’s the part number? I can maybe look it up and double check for you

[@mikesrandomvideos]

I put a video up on this channel with replacing the filter. it is probably like yours. with the ring......I also replaced the filter which is critical to the job. He overlooked that the filter is part of that housing.

[@JoseLopez-mk5zw]

The denso fuel pump did you have to wire the pigtail that comes with it? cause the wire connectors are different from oem fuel pump assembly pump

[@2zzlow]

Direct plug n play no wire cutting, splicing or modifying…

[@RKOViper1999]

What is the model number? Or item number?

[@JoseLopez-mk5zw]

[@Chrisables72]

That’s not a 2005 matrix !! My 2005 matrix has a big black cover with 4 screws holding it and it not the grey cover in you video . Im assuming that the big black cover is covering the pump . I’ll find out shortly

[@rmacmanus0757]

I've been searching the fuel pump and mine is just like that. I haven't been able to find it . Could you please send me information about the source where you got the replacement? Thanks in advance!😢 My car is a 2003 Toyota Matrix 1.8 lt

[@junzilla13]

No matter how hard I squeezed with pliers it didn't work on that hose. I used two flat heads and push the tabs out from the inside.

[@2zzlow]

Maybe I was doing it incorrectly? Idk seemed to have worked when I was squeezing the tabs

[@junzilla13]

@@2zzlow I think you were doing it right. There are tabs on it for a reason. It's just that for whatever reason it didn't work for me so i pryed it out. Wasn't very hard to pry out. I could see if was making progress as there was a window like opening on each side.

[@tripgunn5549]

Thanks I ended up doing this.. Only used one small flat head screw driver, slide the screwdriver underneath the squeeze-tabs on the end of the hose and pushed the tabs out. After doing each individually, I was able to use the squeeze tabs to pull the hose off. Thanks for the idea.

[@mug7693]

Do you have any videos on replacing the motor the the windshield wiper fluid sprayer thing

[@AmeriFanPicker]

The wiper motor? Or the pump that pushes weather fluid? If the pump…it’s in the bottom of the washer reservoir. You pretty much have to remove the bumper for access. But then it just unplugs from the reservoir.

[@hypersonicchannel5433]

Brother that fit in in my xrs 2003 2zz?

[@12367kevin]

Will this work on my 09 mattrix?

Is this an AWD model you are working with?

@@2zzlow Thank you.

[@gomanprepper]

Going to replace my fuel filter so I don’t need to replace the pump…

[@2zzlow]

not that expensive might as well replace both if you are going to be there already.

[@chasburns3303]

How did you tell it was the fuel pump?

[@2zzlow]

The sputtering and stalling at idle was a dead giveaway for me

[@Fb6_Adrian420]

Man if I broke the fitting for the hose on the top do you think I need to buy the whole housing ?
