How To Replace Fuel Pump Assembly - Dodge Neon (Andy's Garage: Episode - 1)

[@chrisfitzgerald2524]

Literally the best DIY video out on the neons! Please make more on this car!

[@PhillipsVision]

Thanks man. I have a few on my channel but will have more coming out in the not too distant future👍

[@chrisfitzgerald2524]

@@PhillipsVision awsome! Keep up the good content🤘🏻

[@MonstaTimDubstep]

Thanks bud. Been looking for a better video showing this process.

[@nikkislove]

this video is so helpful. thank you so much!

[@gummyskr8991]

Question, unsure if you will answer but did you disconnect the fuel fill tube, and the evap control?

[@PhillipsVision]

@@gummyskr8991 don’t need to on this vehicle. Remove the straps and lower the fuel tank on the passenger to access the pump

[@MonstaTimDubstep]

Should have followed the instructions exactly. Tried just changing my pressure regulator and broke the retaining clips off the top of the fuel pump. Now have to wait for new fuel pump and start over. 👏👏👏👏

[@PhillipsVision]

MonstaTimDubstep if you buy the entire assembly it will contain everything

[@MonstaTimDubstep]

@@PhillipsVision yessir i made sure. Sucks having to wait for it to ship though

Nice moustache man.

[@shellyxkaitlyn]

this helped alot my co worker is going to replace the fuel pump with the new one i got and this makes me happy cause we had to replace the belt and the pulley... and i have a starting problem which it doesnt start up right away so i hope this very helps

[@PhillipsVision]

Kaitlyn cakes glad it helped

[@paulbryant68]

i hope you went back and set the red safety clip on the power plug...could vibrate out over time.

[@andrewleblanc2970]

Thanks man , I think it'll help me out tons as I have to do mine in my neon

[@zafiramiyala411]

This is a long shot but if you do see this, thanks for answering! Is there a chance that replacing the fuel pump will turn my EVAP light off? I have an 05 2.0l and have had everything on it but the fuel lines and the fuel pump changed and that light refuses to go off and stay off. Edit to add: They did a smog/smoke test on it and found that smoke was escaping from the canister behind my rear passenger wheel. That was replaced and the light came back on, so they replaced the one tucked in by my firewall and the light still came back on. No cracks or holes or anything in my fuel line and no smell of gas either

[@PhillipsVision]

In the past when I’ve has evap codes on vehicles it was the bolts on the exhaust manifold being loose or stripped

[@zafiramiyala411]

@@PhillipsVision Thank you! I gotta check those out and hopefully that puts an end to my problem

[@PhillipsVision]

Daniel Lipe are you hearing the relay click? Have you checked the fuse? Normally it will prime when you turn the key to the “power on” position, not turn the engine over.

[@daniellipe645]

n no i havent checked the fuel pump fuse and relay i try that tom imake vid on it if i cant fig problem out and sad too i know alot on working on vehicles i know how to retime replace ne part on an engine jus this fuel pump thing stumps me i got a 480 code read comp i can hoook up to it tom maybe it tell the prob i jus got back from a buddy

[@VSCuddlez]

So the fuel pressure regulator is in the pump assembly?

[@PhillipsVision]

ItzNohnDoe yes. On this vehicle the assembly includes the pump, regulator and filter.

[@maxg6321]

So you cant replace just the Fuel filter/pressure regulator on this ?

[@PhillipsVision]

Max G you can, just need to remove the sending unit and you can twist the filter/regulator off the top of the unit. It’s sometimes better to replace the entire unit because you get everything new for just a little more money

[@maxg6321]

@@PhillipsVision thank you

[@owenwilson7138]

Can’t you do it with out dropping the tank? I thought you could do it with the access port underneath the rear seat?

[@PhillipsVision]

There is no access port on this vehicle and the pump is side mounted. You can see it by looking under the rear passenger door but not enough clearance to remove it unless the tank is dropped.

[@froggerjohn427]

Is the process generally the same with the 2.4 turbo? Since it’s basically the same platform as the 2.0?

[@PhillipsVision]

froggerjohn427 yes, same process

[@OscarHernandez-mk4sc]

Would this be the same on a 2003 Dodge neon

[@PhillipsVision]

Yes

[@PhillipsVision]

Oscar Hernandez yes

[@nikkislove]

update on me. it took many hours to get the spinning ring off because that tap tap didn't work and now after the assembly the ring leaks now. 😢😢

[@jacobm7026]

Not sure if you talked about it in video (i didn't hear it mentioned by name but you may have said it indirectly using a differnt name maybe) but where is the fuel level sensor? im getting a code for a fuel level sensor, and i wanna check it before buying a new fuel pump

[@PhillipsVision]

The fuel level sensor is part of the sending Sending Unit, connected to the floater

[@jacobm7026]

@@PhillipsVision Awesome thanks man!

[@enocruiz4408]

SAme for a dodge neon 2004??????

[@FixitFelix529]

Hey bud good video but just a word of advise don’t mean to offend or anything. The intro is way to long. If you check all other mechanic channels or even other type of channels there’s intro is only like 3 seconds or less long. More than that the viewer most likely just exit the video. Again I don’t mean it on a bad way. Good luck with your channel.

[@PhillipsVision]

Fix it Felix I agree 100%. This is an older video. The newer ones are reduced to 9 seconds. Thanks for the feedback, I always appreciate it 👍

[@rm4861]

I disagree. I actually enjoyed it! I had to pause it to show my friend driving when we parked lol To each their own! Thanks for the help. You made it super simple and doable by even my level 3 mechanic skills.

[@PhillipsVision]

Cori MP thx for the feedback
