Glad i came across this video, my 09 g6 has been sitting for a couple months because of replacing evap parts and need to replace the fuel tank pressure sensor and fuel pump. Finally said screw it I'll do it myself
I been working on removing the fuel tank from my 2010 g6, you forgot to mention one might need a special fuel tool to remove the fuel lines, that would have saved me a lot of time . Also those electrical connections on the side of the tank were tricky to remove. I had to cut the fill neck hose because I could not budge it , loose,hopefully I can get a replacement. Those little items added
Something I neglected to do is depressirize the gas line at the end if the motor. Lost about a gallon on my car propped it up with a spare jack stand but I tried going on empty doing this job so the tank wasn't too heavy. Still had a gallon or two in it anyways but if you want to avoid the smell that's a big tip.
You did this in May and I'm doing it in Sep. Thank you GM for using crappy plastic hoses and creating a HUGE fire hazard. 13 years of use I guess I can't really complain.
I had got my fuel pump fixed then 2 weeks later it failed again so I went to a shop this time paid 1300 they said my fuel pump got so hot it messed up my pcm and it was producing too much power and they need a new one and tried to charge another 1000 so I’m just tryna do it on my own rn any advice?
When reinstalling the tank, the passenger side tank strap doesnt stretch all the way to the both bolt holes, its just off by 1/4 inch. I swapped to make sure i had the right ones and the passenger has the fixed piece of rubber that sits on the rear sway bar. Any ideas on what couldve happened?
Try shifting the tank itself there could be something caught that's keeping it from sitting all the down and preventing the straps from fitting properly.
I cant get this damn filler hose off the tank, I dont want to tear it all up trying to get it off. But thats looking like what I’ll have to do at this point
Use some channel locks, grip the hose where it's fitted to the tank and give it a twist. If that doesn't work find something to stick between the hose and the plastic to separate the bond and slide them apart.
I use a pick to get a little gap, then squirt some wd40, then remove the pick to let the hose squeeze the wd around. Do it a couple times & it helps me with hoses.
There are tools specifically designed to remove those hangers...but I have done this a few times and I use channel locks. Get one end on the outside edge of the hanger, and use the leverage to pull the hanger over the top. It's still hard, especially the ones right next to the catalytic converter. As he said, use some lube.
@@Fixnit14 Oh wow, I've been searching everywhere for this. Finally found a parts list that said the fuel filter was part of the fuel pump assembly, but didn't realize it was just a screen. Thanks for this reply.
I have an 09 pontiac g6, and been looking at different fuel pump assemblies. I noticed the unit you purchased does not have a fuel pressure sensor but some do. do you happen to know if I need to purchase a unit with fuel pressure sensor or does not matter? thanks in advance
The one I removed from the tank had a fuel pressure sensor in it. I removed it when I installed it and plugged the whole. The fuel pressure sensor is located on the passenger side of the tank on the side, on the charcoal canister. Take a look if yours doesn't have the sensor on or around that area you might need one with the sensor in it. BUT you could just drill a hole in the fuel pump hat if you need one there and bought one with out it. Good luck on the project. 👍😉
Port? Not sure I follow... If your talking about the pressure sensor the charcoal canister is easily seen with the sensor location. This car does have 3 different fuel pump configurations theres a way to look up the right pump with vin you'll to do some research.
I meant electrical connectors. I have been doing research for this last week and it says that a pump with one connector fits my car and also a pump with two connectors fits my car.
You should be able to hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key to the first position before cranking. This is how any vehicle that I have owned with fuel injection works.
Your right about listening for the fuel pump, but there is 1 reasons that doesn't work with this one; The fuel pump still operates but at a lower pressure then what the engine needs to start.
So you can't hear the fuel pump on the G6 ? , My friends car won't start I laid under tank and got her to turn the key and still couldn't hear anything
Say just replaced 1 on a 2010 and it doesnt seem to work either, just the way your is. Some times it starts and then the next start it wont start again. No engine light on, no o e rents out fuel pressure testers in our area, change relays fuses. Still the same.
You've got something else wrong with yours. I think theres are problems some where in the ignition system. I cant tell you what it might be I'd have to be hands on to tell you for sure. If it where the fuel pump it would not start the first time and start every time after. That's because its building the pressure it needs to start. Try looking up some forms that might be having a similar problem sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Just some constructive criticism, try to go through your videos and trim out the bits where you don’t talk. It helps shorten down the videos and in my experience, I’d rather watch a shorter video than a longer one.
Np one cares what you think, junior. Maybe you have some sort sort of intellectual disability or aren't smart enough to watch a video without exhibiting your mental problems. Go visit a Dr Suess sight, stupid.
I have a 09 Pontiac g6 , been using daily for years and when driving it shut off and now when I turn it over it starts the rpms go crazy , then the engine shakes , then shuts off . Nobody seems to know what's wrong
My 2007 Pontiac G6 is doing the same thing I drive it for 20 minutes it flutters for the first ten or Twelve Tries of starting. This is going to be an expensive fix hopefully under $300
Depending on your area, labor could be anywhere between $50 and $150 per hr. The fuel pump I installed was about $300 at the time. If I did this job for someone, I'd charge them 4hrs at my rate, plus parts. You could be looking at as much as $700 for parts and labor.
Did you get the fuel gauge to start reading how much fuel you had in your tank? I did a replacement and had the same issue just wondering if you had to redo your install?
No I thought it was stuck but it started working when I took it for a test drive. I've replaced fuel pumps before where I forgot to put the fuel float level on the new pump assembly. And had to drop the tank back out to fix it. Shit happens sometimes when your in a hurry and not paying attention.
I'm not 100% sure of where its located. But try looking on the fuel rail around the intake manifold. If you dont see something that looks like a diaphragm attached to fuel lines it's more then likely part of the fuel pump.
@@Fixnit14 I put a new air filter in it. It's also developed a leak somewhere above the fuel tank in the back. Could it be the fuel lines or filler tube?
The leak is a common problem with the g6. What happens is the fuel lines on the pump house / hat crack and break off. The only way to fix it is to replace the pump. Unless you have some fabrication skills and can reattach the fuel lines to the pump housing/ hat. This happend to my g6 and I replaced the pump. This video was the second pump I've replaced on this car. The first pump I replaced with a cheap one and it failed in a year. The second was a more expensive one that hasn't failed as of yet.
@Angel Garcia, earlier models did have an access, weird how they changed to this! GREAT VIDEO Fix-n-It, I believe you have the ONLY video showing how to do this job the proper way. Others have people cutting out part of the trunk, and actually making a mistake and cutting INTO THE GAS TANK! Keep up with the great videos!!!

Thanks for sharing, I need to replace my daughters fuel pump

How high do you have to jack up the car for fuel tank
About 2 to 3 feet

Video is great but I saw dirt jumping around the pump ring. Hope it didn't end up in the tank..
You and me both!
What tool did you use to take off the hangers at 3:15?
Mayhew 13232 Pick
This isn't the exact tool, but it's similar.

@Makeitworx I still think a hose pick and lube is easier myself. To each their own, though.
What size sockets does it take to change this fuel pump on this G6 Pontiac 07 and how would I be able to tell if it's a GT or what
Where is the fuel filter located? Is it inside the tank or possibly behind it? Thanks for any info
There isn't a fuel filter on this vehicle. The only form of filtration it has is a screen on the pump.
@@Fixnit14 Thank you very much! You just saved me a bunch of time and trouble. Much appreciated!

So, my G6 had a leak and I have to replace the fuel pump. How do I tell if I need one with one port or two without having to look at the pump itself.

I swapped relays around to see if it was the relay . And still nothing . Car has spark ,

Tool list?
Obviously not a car that as been in canada,
The 2009 G6 has fuel pump access under back seat.
Sorry to burst your bubble there, buddy. But the 2009 G6 DOES NOT have fuel pump access under the back seat. And if it does, I'd like you to prove it.
My 06 won't start unless your foot is on the gas pedal what is causing that?
That shouldn't happen because if I remember correctly it's a drive by wire system. But try cleaning the throttle body and replacing the air filter.

Good stuff, but you should’ve taken an air blaster to it. Way too much dust that was left behind..
Shut your mouth. Idiot
So you cant get to it in the backseat.?
No, GM doesn't put access panels under there back seats. Wish they did.
