Chevy Dealership here in SO CAL changed the fuel pump on a Pontiac Vibe, charged my grand father $1276 and left the entire car stinking fuel, I took it back to the STEALERSHIP , complained about the fuel smell, they kept the car for two days , they said they had spilled fuel on the rug and underneath the back seat, they detailed the car , entire interior including the headliner. Very unprofessional. After i watched your video , I could have done it my self, for under $300 total .
Thank you very much for the WD40 comment - after using that method, it worked like a charm. Spent two days fighting with the lid that felt like it was gorilla glued on.
Thank you for such a great tutorial! Just picked up a 2014 Corolla LE with 140K on it, and I know I'll have to replace the fuel pump at some point in the next 50K miles. I chuckled way too hard at the "ooh, nice - just got some dust in the gas...that's always good." 😅 I'd like to turn this over to a shop, but they are charging preposterous prices these days.
Who knows? Maybe you won't even have to change it. We've also got a 2014 Corolla 6 speed manual with 65k miles. It mostly sits in MT at my mother-in-laws house, so it doesn't get a lot of driving. It's still kicking and the housing hasn't cracked
Well I did it exactly as show in he video. Really didn’t take very long. The clip were a PITA nearly lost one when I dropped it and was worried about breaking it. I picked up the sealer for $6 resealed after filling the tank and verifying no leaks. Really not difficult.
Thank you for great video. One question, is there a o-ring inside the EVAP hose connection? I'm throwing P0455 and P0441 codes, evap leak, and the only place I can think of is the EVAP hose connection to the pump assembly. Thank you.
There is definitely a seal on the EVAP connection. That's the port that had the cut line on it on my fuel module assembly and was causing me to get a system small leak code (P0456 I believe).
My Philadelphia Toyota dealer (Sloan) just told me the fuel gauge is broken due to "rodent" damage to fuel pump connectors. Sounded like a fishy excuse (car starts and runs) not to cover the problem under the $1250 Platinum insurance policy my mother got when she bought the car brand new in March 2019 (the vehicle has
Some dealers are shady. I noted how the fuel port on mine looked like a cutting wheel ran across it and it was at a California Toyota dealer for the fuel pump recall a short time before. Pretty sure they were ensuring follow up business.
did you replace pump assembly with after market or from dealership? im just curious if it will give check engine light and loud sound from the pump because its after market product
I have always used an aftermarket pump and the last 3 that I've bought were from Herko on eBay (two for different Civics and this one Corolla). I've never had an issue with any of them thankfully. Here's a link to the Herko for $92. www.ebay.com/itm/382244808183
Actually you're incorrect on that. If you actually watch the video and didn't skip around, you would have noted that I told you to watch my other video on how to remove base cushion. Nobody else has ever complained because they all paid attention.
Actually that was a strap wrench that I made from an old serpentine belt and a deep socket. I cut a slot in the socket and slid both sides of the belt through it. I was going to post a video, but I never edited it. I'll look and see if I still have the video. If so, I'll get it uploaded.
How are u sir...mine jerks and have a bad engine sound..i checked plugs and changed the MAP sensor...it still do it but onl when engine is hot.could this e caused by the fuel pump???thank you.
Must you do anything to pressurize the new pump our does it do itself? Im guessing new pumps include new filters. Amazing the price differences for these pumps. Believe I will do this myself.
Pump will pressurize when you turn the key once installed. Think of it like running your car completely out of gas. As for the filter, mine came complete as you saw it installed. I would only recommend buying a complete unit on these newer cars.
Have you had any issues with your Corolla since doing the aftermarket fuel pump change? It's been almost a year. I am SURE Toyota messed up my recall. I have a large EVAP leak detected, Bank to lean 1, and a purge flow valve pressure incorrect. I have a changed the MAP sensor and the Purge valve. My next steps are changing fuel pump, and fuel filter. I have a 2019 Corolla that I purchased earlier this year and it is idling from 750ish (which I assume is normal) down to below 500 and shaking the car pretty badly, It has stalled on my twice while coming to a stop. Just wondering if I changing your fuel pump has helped and if you had similar issues to what I am having.
Our 2019 Corolla had no problems with idle or driving issues, we merely had a CEL for the small leak on the evap system. Thus we were not allowed to register the vehicle until I resolved it. No problems with the car since replacing the pump. Drives great and no CEL.
@@seriousmustangnut unfortunately I wasn't able to order the pump you ordered. I will be replacing my pump this weekend. It is my daily right now and just about every time I have to stop for more than 5 seconds my CEL turns on and my traction control turns off. I'm hoping it is because I have a "System to lean bank 1" is the issue and the Pump resolves it.
@@SethDabs The traction control light coming on is strange. I don't know why that would come on for an engine related issue, but then my son's 2018 Civic Sport has a weird problem we haven't been able to figure out yet. Under fairly hard acceleration at between 3500-4300 RPMs, the engine 'stalls' for like 1/4 second and then resumes acceleration and typically it will throw up a CEL, both traction control lights, steering angle sensor light, brake light, and ABS light all at once and the only code is MAP sensor.
@@cal-rw7qp So I found out that the last person who did the fuel pump recal didn't tightly secure the plastic collar that locks the fuel pump down. That took care of the Evap leak (for the most part, it still pops every once in a while.) I'm sure there is something else going on in my fuel system. Unfortunately I still have a system to lean bank 1 that keeps popping. I have changed the o2 bank 1 sensor already. Doing further research I might change the spark plugs and fuel injectors next. If that doesn't fix it, It could be the PSU computer that is glitching out. Not sure yet.
@@seriousmustangnut thank you for the video btw. dang i didn't know that was a recall, i have a 2016 corolla S and i got hit with that airbag recall after an accident
@@seriousmustangnut Nope. recall was jan 2020, had accident in march and totalled the car in front of me at about 40 mph. Got my recall letter in june lmao
A common problem specifically with Hondas is that the fuel pump housings crack which cause fuel smell in the vehicle. It might just be a loose securing ring or a bad o-ring.
Would you have a direct link to purchase one? I have a 2015 corolla and need to change out the fuel pump. I may have purchased the wrong one 😂 any help would be greatly appreciated!
I bought mine from an outfit named Herko out of Florida that I've bought two other fuel pumps from prior as they are very reasonable and I've had no issues with their products besides the o-ring being totally wrong on the Corolla. They sell on eBay which is the only place I've found them. Be sure that the 2015 Corolla uses the same pump as my 2019 Corolla, but here's a link to one of their current listings that fit my 2019 Corolla www.ebay.com/itm/382244808183
Naw, just go back there with some big 'ol cigars, a box of matches, and smoke a couple up on a bumpy road. YES, yes, yes! Go back and install the "O" ring. That is exactly the type of gasket that failed when the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up into little, tiny tiny pieces. Man, am I getting old.
At the time of the video, the car had around 25k on it and the recall was already performed on it before I bought it at auction. It had the slow leak from day one, but since it was a salvage car, no warranty. I noted in the video the damaged port on the fuel pump which may have been the cause. Even if it were somehow caused by 'cheap gas' was you call it, that would be a quality issue in my book. I've had Fords, Nissans, Hondas, Chevys, and another Toyota that get gas from the same locations and never had this before. My money is on intentional sabotage by the tech at the Toyota dealership that did the recall.
@@seriousmustangnut Thanks so much for the explanation; I would suspect that a salvage car may be the culprit then. Very nice video and good job. Keep up the good work.
The only one that worked on the fuel assembly was a Toyota dealer in CA prior to me replacing the pump assembly in the video. From the factory I'm sure that it was fine. Once a tech had to perform the recall work is where it got jacked up. I know techs don't get compensated very well for warranty work, so things going wrong is probably a common occurrence. I'm sure salvage had nothing to do with it.

Semi truck fuel/separator tool for that fuel ring should work
Excellent tutorial. Saved me a ton of money for an easy hour of work. Hardest part was hitting a block of wood with a hammer 😅
When you're filming and figuring out how to take the seat out, it takes a bit longer.😉

@@seriousmustangnut well, i stand corrected I did miss that. well i'm the first. as you know there is always a first time for everything lol.
I'm the king of skipping through videos, so I'd probably miss it as well. Take care.
What type of strap wrench was that ?
Could you post a link on where to buy one ?

How is the car running now with that after market fuel pump?
Works great, no issues at all. Reason I replaced it was due to vapor leak which would keep me passing emissions.

Did you take just the negative cable of the battery and the fuse ?
Yes, but reverse order. Pull fuse, turn over engine to depressurize fuel system, then remove negative battery cable.
Great video, how many miles did you get in this car before you had to do this?
It was less than 30k, but a dealer in CA had changed it as part of recall and they damaged the nipple on install.
@@seriousmustangnut thank you for the video btw. dang i didn't know that was a recall, i have a 2016 corolla S and i got hit with that airbag recall after an accident

Thank you for the reply! Appreciate it!
I did everything right but I forgot to put the ring on :0 should I be worry?
I assume you mean the o-ring? If you mean you forgot an o-ring altogether, you'll have to take it apart again and install one.
Naw, just go back there with some big 'ol cigars, a box of matches, and smoke a couple up on a bumpy road.
YES, yes, yes! Go back and install the "O" ring. That is exactly the type of gasket that failed when the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up into little, tiny tiny pieces. Man, am I getting old.
