I performed a fuel pump replacement today and want to share details. I disconnected the battery but not the relay fuse for safety and to prevent any electrical sparking. There are two ways you can proceed. You can purchase and replace the whole assembly which includes the pump and filter. Or, you can purchase the filter and pump together and swap them out of the originally assembly in the car. I chose to purchase the assembly. First off the bottom seat has to be removed. I used a long screw driver. there are two metal loops that protrude from the seat down into the body of the car and latch on. you need to get next to them and pull the screw driver neck up. this releases the metal loops from the body and the rear seat can be removed. It is kind of a violent motion. There is a metal plate covering access to the top of the pump. It is glued in with a silicone type of glue. I scored that glue with a utility knife and removed the plate with flat head screw driver carefully working the plate from the body. Once that was removed, I let it hang by the front of the seat area and placed it into a large ziplock bag to prevent glue from staining any part of the interior. I had a tough time removing the power socket from the pump. you have to play with it. Push the top tab away from the center of the electrical connector and use a flat head to remove the plug from the pump. You have to play with it. I would watch different videos and focus on that. I still dont know how i pulled it off. I used a flat head to remove the clip from the fuel line. No problem. I read that someone had a corroded clip and was afraid to break it so I bought two at Toyota for $10 but didnt need them. I had rags for when i separated the fuel line from the pump I also bought a can of spray air in case I need to blow fuel to evaporate it. However, there was not much fuel that came out. I used a philips head and socket wrench to remove the metal plate that holds the fuel pump in the tank. You can use either as the bolts have philips head crosses embedded in the. 8 bolts. 8MM. Be careful. I dropped one but was able to recover it. I took the old fuel pump out and used the rubber gasket from the old one that seals the assembly pump into the gas tank. I then put it back together. The assembly is "spring loaded" meaning you have to push it down to secure it with the screws. Took about an hour. I had a check engine light on and slippery wheels and vsc lights on. I replaced the mass air sensor and the pcv valve. I replace spark plugs and coils recently. lights came on and off and on and off intermittenly. Hopefully this will do it. Car starts so much easier. We will see.

Do the new pumps come with a cap at the end where the gas comes or just put in to the tank
