Thanks 1A Auto for the video! Unfortunately most people do not have a Lift in their garage. Or even a garage. So, for most of us lift-less folks, dropping the tank will be a bit more of a challenge. Taking out the spare tire will open up the field of view and work area. Just make sure to jack stand your car to add security/stability.
I replaced the fuel tank pressure sensor on a 2003 Cadillac Escalade and the steps were identical to your video. Thanks for your video.
Check Engine light came on. When to Autozone. it showed it was the Fuel Pressure Sensor. Thanks to this vid I was able replace it. Didnt have to drop tank. i was able to reach it. Did it on 03 Chevy Z71 with installed Leveling kit. Had room to manver.
Question how long did it take you to do this and is it easier to do this with minimum gas
This may seem like a silly question, but you didn't mention whether it was necessary to completely drain the fuel tank before attempting this repair or if it is okay to leave a small amount of fuel; such that it won't spill out when disconnecting the two fuel lines? Thanks. I have a 2001 Tahoe. Love your videos!
Highly recommend draining fuel tank or running it to empty. Replaced the fuel pressure sensor on 2001 Chevy Suburban with about 12 gallons of gas in tank. Lowered back of tank to a tilt of about 30 degrees. Nothing came out until I popped the pressure sensor off and then there was some type of vacuum release and the gas came pouring out. Had to let it evaporate before continuing work. Lost as much gas as I spent on the pressure sensor. Lesson learned.
Also, on my Suburban there was a metal cover with two 10mm nuts that had to come off before I could get to the pressure sensor. That cover seems to be missing in the video and adds a couple of steps to the process and makes access even more important.
Did my 2006 chevy silverado 1500 2WD and no need to lower the tank was possible to do with one hand, some feeling and some struggling to pull it out with my fingers. But it saved me a 3 hours ($120/hour) job at the shop. But anyway thanks for the video that gave me the idea.
Im about to do this on my 2004 Escalade esv. The old P0446 wont go away. Replaced vent solenoid, purge valve, fuel cap and canister. I hope the tank is not too heavy because im doing this all by myself with jack and jackstands. Low fuel light just came on so thats a plus. Wish me luck.
How did it go
Ya how did it go??
love all your videos.
thanks for the help. great video
Awesome video! I need help. I am getting a steady 45 psi on my car 2011 suburban 5.3. I feel like its dumping fuel because my fuel gauge goes down more than normal. I see everyone else mention 50 to 60 at the rails but i am using my expensive x431 scan tool to check everything. All of a sudden after 1 month of using e85 its been extremely bad. Fuel gauge drops fast. I cant find no wet fuel leaks by the engine compartment. My mpg normal at 15 to 18. Now feels like 6. I am also using a scan gauge to read the mpgs and its not bad hwy is 18mpg both dash and scan gaugeii. What the hell is there a small leak some where only when its on? I get no code errors.
I have an 02 5 Yukon 5.3 L engine is it easier to do the job with minimum gas in your tank and how long does the job roughly take?
mine is not on top of the fuel pump as shown in the video. Also checked top of tank and fuel vapor canister. Any ideas where it might be??? 2002 Chevy Silverado with 8100
Can I follow this for an 07 Silverado?
Does this apply to a chevy avalanche 07?? Because I was sent here when u put it in
thanks for taking the time to make this!
I have a 2009 Yukon denali xl is the same process
1 word my friend ,bandana!!😂😂good video tho👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Using a screwdriver to get it out broke two pressure sensors for me.. Had to shove the stem down into the tank to clear the hole. I would suggest a different tool but not sure how to pull vertically with just an arm's space. This was for a 2001 silverado 1500 without dropping the tank, I am skinny enough to prop myself between the body and the frame, put a small light up just to see what I was going for.
I just broke the stem on the old sensor and it fell through the hole. The new sensor snapped right on. Did you have any problems from the stem down in the tank??
I've done the same
I have a question. What does it mean when you’re fueling up and you hear a whistle while pumping gas and then it stops?
Mine isnt plugged into tank, would this cause a smell of gas?
can anyone tell me where in the world the FTPS is located on a 97 Silverado? it is NOT in the top or side!
The nipple broke off and unable to get it out, can I drive my vehicle after installing the new pressure sensor
How much of a pain was that?? Will be doing it on my Chevy 3500 shuttle bus and won’t be able to put it on a lift like that.
Does a 2004 chevy tahoe have same setup?
07 TB, reading code p0452 E Vap emissions persuade sensor/switch low input would this be the same process??
No
I have the P0454 trouble code and a gas smell from my Silverado right now. Is it likely that it is the FTP sensor?
Would this be the cause of gas spit out in a 08 tahoe i already replaced evap canister while putting gas
no but the maf sensor malfunctioning can
When this part is bad does it throw a trouble code. Also, does it cause hard filling at the pump. I already replaced the Evap. Vent Solenoid.
+Jim Dent It shouldn't cause a hard fill situation. When you remove the gas cap it will depressurize the tank. Hope this helps out. 1aauto.com
My truck wont start on the first try it takes a couple cranks to start. I think it loosing fuel pressure. Dont know if i should just change the fuel tank pressure sensor. Or change the whole fuel pump with it. Please?
Same issue here, 2000 suburban. I would replace the fuel filter first and see if that helps. They recommend to change the fuel filter on these every 30k miles so the fuel pump doesnt go out. I just bought mine cash in excellent condition and want to avoid replacing the whole pump as that gets costly.
I had 3 codes related to this problem with new fuel pump installed .
If it was the cheaper route it's sometimes not the best way because it's Chinese and the fuel tank pressure sensor is so sensitvie that it builds mad pressure
Causing you to change that sensor or you stuck with a p0446 code
Will this sensor be the same for a 2002 Tahoe 5.3L???
+fazjewls14 It may be a different sensor on that particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com
Is this the same as the 2003 chevy avalanche? Does your car has engine light on as well?
+Ahrdee It may be a similar procedure. Thanks for checking us out!
I have a 2004 Escalade. Would I need to remove the tank ?
At this moment, the closest how-to video we have to your request is for this vehicle, which is similar to the one you have. The steps may not be 100% the same, but will be a similar procedure. +Toxic Rick
I loosened strap bolts, they began to strip, then the whole steel around the nut part disintegrated. As in the steel frame perch is literally falling apart. Now What, can a guy replace the frame perch where the straps bolt, completely?
Will this solve the gas tank building pressure?
Yeah
@@beastlychase
Really? I hope so , just bought this today. When I open my Cap it lets out a shyt ton of pressure! Scary !
I got a Question? I have a 2000 Chevy Suburban 1500 4x4. It hesitates, stalls and have loss of power after start up and And I have had it checked for codes, no codes have came up. So I have changed spark plugs,wires, fuel pump,fuel filter,charcoal canister checked for cracks in hoses and vacuum car cracks at all. Even changed the throttle body and sensors, still same problem. Answers or Ideas anybody?
Have you checked the mass air flow sensor and the catalytic converter?
Very good edit job on this video. Trust me this job is not as easy as this guy made it look. Take my advice … go ahead and pay the $400 and take it to a mechanic and be done with it. Save yourself the headache.
We have a 2000 Chevy 2500. Where is the Fuel Pressure Sensor on my model/year?
+Melissa Furr The fuel pressure sensor should be located on the top side of the fuel sending unit inside the fuel tank. 1aauto.com
changed it and still have code pop up immediately after clearing it
I just had this replaced on my 06 Chevy Silverado. Code 0651. And the light popped back up after a day. I'm pissed!
is this the same on a 2002 chevy silverado 1500?
+WhatDehek18 Unfortunately it's not exactly the same. And what's worse is that we don't have a video for that repair at this time. But we'll keep it in mind for future repairs! 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Is this the same for a 2004 chevy astro van? Please say it's a lot easier or less harder!!!
+jltaco85 We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Love to know your answer. I have a 2003 Astro van, 68,000 miles, service engine light on. Garage quoted $600 to drop tank and replace . Will be hard to sell the van with light on
awesome
What if the nub of the old sensor breaks off and falls in the hole where your supposed to put the replacement sensor?
Hey the same thing just happened to me, Did you ever have any problems?
+FiercePierce86 Thanks for watching! The broken bits likely fell into the tank. There are filters on the fuel pump so you should not have to really worry about it, but ideally you want to get those out. 1aauto.com
1A Auto Parts hello, this video was a great help , but i had the same issue , mine was already broken and just free hanging connected to the old FTPS , i reached in and the old Bit is still in there but it’s almost impossible to take off , can they be pushed down/inside the fuel talk to later take them off instead ?
@@goatyt6647 did you ever push it in? What was your solution the same thing happened to me
How do I get the hole into the top for the pressure sensor? Didnt come with a pre made hole
+The Midnight Coal Company There are two types of fuel modules for those vehicles, one with the sensor on the module and one without, and you have purchased the wrong one. Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
@@1AAuto it's not the wrong one it just dont have a premade hole. Works just fine
Remove battery cable for this or doesn’t matter?
+Heavy-D You should disconnect the battery.
Why not lower the spare tire to make it easier accessible? And use a battery powered impact to remove bolts for straps?
Auto mechanics work on time. Do it yourselfers think about that. The video is very helpful.
Be prepared for the gas tank strap closest to the spare tire not to come off. Tried for an hour. The bolt just kept spinning and wouldn't release. Had to run it up to a shop. Oh well.
What abut Chevy S10 2000? is it going to be same ?
+mattz90 It may be a similar procedure. Most of the 2000 S10 trucks use this same part number. Hope this helps you out.
power tools. and give the guy his fix hands are shaking like crazy
Don't you need to disconnect the battery and remove all fuel from the tank first?
Chris Denham I didn't. I have a 10" lift on my truck, I unplugged it. And when prying up make sure you don't break the part off that's in the tank . I broke mine off and had to get a mirror and a set of needle nose pliers to remove the broken part .
My trucks smoking does anyone know if that’s the problem
Try the pcv valve
yah. your truck could get cancer. Better switch to Copenhagen.
What are the signs of a bad sensor ?
+Kaleb Mudd Yeah, what he said.
the
.
check engine light only. vehicle performs normally.
Thank you Orlando
can this part cause excessive fuel pressure?
+apophis egyptian Thanks for watching! No, that sensor is there to monitor the pressure in the tank, which in return will let your vehicle know if there is a vapor leak. 1aauto.com
Did you figure out what was causing the pressure in the fuel tank?
@@stevenwebb7949
I have pressurr in fuel tank as well....replaced purge solenoid did not fix it . Was going to try this sensor next and then I guess thr canister 🤷♂️
The Dealer's wanted to charge me $800 to change that
Anyone else tired of not knowing how much gas is in their truck? Lol
You really think I am going to buy one for you when I can get it cheaper elsewhere!!!??
