Chevy Equinox P0172 How To Replace High Pressure Fuel Pump

If you guys have code P0172 or are having drivability issues or even spelling has outside or inside your oil, you might have a faulty high pressure fuel pump. In this video we show you guys how to easily replace the pump along with the fuel pressure line. This is for Chevy Equinox with the 2.4 ecotec engine. Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks for the video. Did you have to bleed the fuel line first before removing it?

[@acetechauto7]

You don’t have to. Just slowly unscrew the fuel line and wait for all the fuel to leak out and that’ll release all the pressure in there. Good luck!

[@jessicabillman1256]

Im about to do this same job. Do you have any reccomendations on how to remove the fuel line without the tool for the prongs?

[@acetechauto7]

It’s going to be pretty difficult without the tool I would just go buy the tool at any autozone or Orielly’s. It’s not that expensive and it’ll save you the headache. Good luck!

[@sarahdugan8686]

What's the prong tool called? Or is that what it's called? Lol 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@acetechauto7]

That’s called a fuel line disconnect tool

[@thequintessentialgamer7514]

Do you need to replace the cam follower when you're leaking gas into your oil? Mine is getting the "P0172 - system too rich bank 1" and is dieseling when you shut it off. I ordered a new pump and new line but no cam follower. I also ordered a "High-Pressure Fuel Pump Installer EN-48896" because a different video said i needed one to line up the camshaft before installing the new pump, but you didn't use one at all. So did I just waste $55 on some bogus tool that resembles a butt plug?

[@acetechauto7]

lol that’s the way to do it if you’re doing it by the book. You’re suppose to put the butt plug in there and rotate the crankshaft clockwise until it sits flush. Otherwise you can stick your finger in there on the cam follower and rotate the crankshaft until it goes all the way down and stop rotating when you feel it starting to come back up. As far as the cam follower if you’re able to locate one easily I would replace it while you’re there otherwise if not no big deal.

@@acetechauto7 so you can either shove a butt plug into it or you can finger it.. noted.. thanks for your response mate!

[@acetechauto7]

@thequintessentialgamer7514 no problem! Either one or the other will work to turn them on.

[@richboutabag8556]

Will replacing this part fix my low power mode problem? Goes it to low power mode mechanic said code was fuel injected pump

[@acetechauto7]

Yes this will fix that issue as well if the code is related to the fuel pump.

[@jasonsantiago2374]

Ive replaced this, both fuel pressure sensors, cleaned injectors, replaced MAF, CAT and the damn car still wants to shut off when its in drive. If i put it in Neutral, the car runs fine. IDK what else to do.

[@acetechauto7]

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Is it setting any check engine lights on?

[@adriangarcia2599]

Timing chain could be messed up

[@shairanieves1487]

I have a Chevy equinox 2016 it came p0172 and p0191 code every time I turn off the car it still runs a little bit what can it be ?

[@acetechauto7]

It can be your fuel pump

[@DaBurnerr]

Why didn’t you replace the cam follower while you were at it

[@acetechauto7]

You can if you'd like but it wasn't necessary in this case

[@yazminegarcia3655]

Only if u where close to my city need this part installed 🥲

[@acetechauto7]

I’d help you if I could! Good luck.
