Every time something on my Acura breaks this guys videos are what I end up on figuring out how to get to the part or pull it out. Guess i'll just watch the rest of the videos to see what else I can expect to break on me.
The sock (screen) on the bottom, which for you is all torn to shreds, is NOT the fuel filter. It is merely there to prevent any damaging debris from getting into the workings of the pump. The top portion of the assembly is the actual fuel filter; it really is the car's fuel filter. (I know it doesn't look anything like an ordinary fuel filter, but it is.) Since getting to the pump (or filter) is a job in and of itself, it's a good idea when in there to replace both no matter which you're trying to replace. (Sort of like replacing the water pump when changing a timing belt.)
The top portion of the fuel pump assembly is not the fuel filter. The fuel filter is located on the fuel line between the fuel tank and fuel rail. It looks like a miniature Campbell's soup can, with a nipple on both ends.
That's not actually the filter. It's a strainer / sock (pre-filter). How many miles on that engine ? Mine has 304,000 and I'm still on the original pump. Looks like water got inside that tank and led to pre-mature failure of the pump.
A bad fuel pump will either run, or not run. You probably have a bad plug, coil or injector. Or possibly a bad MAF sensor. Provided you have good compression and timing is correct.
@microfarmers that's not necessarily true it's an electric motor it could get weak or slow before it dies completely, but I would test the fuel pressure before changing the pump.
I just bought a 2003 Type S, seemed to run fine, but stalled twice while going maybe 60 MPH, dosnt have any issues other wise, do these sometimes have a soft fail? I need to check fuel pressure next I guess.
I had a new fuel pump installed and then I drive it for two or three miles then it vapor locks on me I have to wait for 5 minutes and then it will start again
Check your relay before buying a whole fuel pump kit I learned that the expensive way , trying to save folks money th-cam.com/video/fcumkhrS0Bc/w-d-xo.html
I just installed a new fuel pump thinking it was the reason why my 2003 Acura TL stalls/cut off while driving and wouldn’t start. still doing the same thing. Any other suggestions?
I'm working on a 99 Acura TL and I'm pretty sure the fuel pump has failed. The car stalled in traffic and will crank over, but not start. This one has about 335,000 miles on it. As far as I know the fuel pump has never been replaced before. Did the pump fail in your car?
@@giangnguyen8344 Oh good, nice work! I changed the fuel pump, strainer, and relay on that car because it has extremely high mileage and is used every day for errands, food deliveries, and even lawn equipment hauling. Recently the car stalled in traffic and wouldn't restart & idle. It would start up and immediately stall. I could keep it running with the gas pedal though. I took the idle air valve off the bottom of the throttle body and cleaned the rotating door inside. It was stuck shut from all the carbon & soot build-up. I cleaned it with contact cleaner & MAF cleaning spray, and the car has run really smoothly ever since. There was never a check engine light or ECU trouble codes, even when the car stalled and wouldn't stay running. It just assumes you know what's wrong hahaha! I hope your car runs as long as this one! I'm amazed how well it drives for 338,000 miles.
My 2002 Acura TL Type S died on me while on the road. Lights, honk, all electronic works, I waited around 10 to 15 minutes to start the car again and after seconds it started shaking as if it ran out of gas and died again. Could it be that the pump is not handling the heat anymore after driving a couple of minutes and that's why the motor shuts off? Will this replacements on the video fix my problem or could it be a different issue? Thank you.
@LetMeSeeThis99 yes sir then he can check the fuel pump. I had the same issue where it died on my while driving problem was fuel pump.(very easy to replace ya self)
Did anyone figure it out? Ive replace so much and still barely starts up. Rpms jump and drop while driving. Delay in pedal reaction. Delay in turn over. Rough loud idle
@@bayleigh1225 try taping it while car runningand see if the car runs any different, if ur still not sure do u have a check engine light ? Mine threw a code for the air idle control valve

And the filter at the bottom is called a "fuel sock',
Great video I learned a lot from this video
Thanks for the detailed video, I'm going to do the same in my car. you helped a lot.
Hey buddy, you did a great job!
Thanks for the info. Good work!
Thanks for a lot
How do you it wasnt the fuel pump relay switch
good job

I learned a lot. Currently, my Acura would run rough when I would start it. Sometimes it would die. I suspect my fuel pump might be on its last leg🤔

@@Yophillips3272 ok. Thanks
I did the same thing but the connection was different connected into the fuel pump what is a different connect to the housing
Hey do you know is fuel filter for 2000 acura tl same?
Did you cut the hose?

Great video Thank You (Now the radio needs a code)
Do you still need help with the radio code
@@clarencelawson2340 I do I do!
My radio code was on the side of the glove box when you open it. It's a sticker you just type it in using the radio buttons
Brother i need that pro tool u tested that fuel pump u should get an amazon affiliate link and sell from this video
That filter screen is going to mess up the arm. It won't read correctly like that
I had a new fuel pump installed and then I drive it for two or three miles then it vapor locks on me I have to wait for 5 minutes and then it will start again
I got a 2003 tl type s. Was driving down highway wasn’t speeding or nothing an it just cut off and won’t cut back on plz help
Same shit happened to me 😭😭jus call ya friend with a stanced out g37 to pull u back home 20miles away 😭😭😭, I really appreciate my friends
@LetMeSeeThis99 probably fuel pump
@LetMeSeeThis99 th-cam.com/video/fcumkhrS0Bc/w-d-xo.html
friend what is the part number of the complete pump and the finger or the part numbers that you occupy

Big mistake using electric drill you can make a fire....
Stop!! You're probably worried about blowing yourself and the gas station up by using your phone while pumping fuel, huh?
How much you thing is for todo.?

Have you scanned the vehicle for "hard" or "soft" codes?
Fuel pump relay
How long does a fuel pump last on these Acura TL 2002? Mine is at 208,000 miles

I just put my pump in an itd still not working
Give that poor car some power steering fluid (Honda's use a special type).
Bad relay switch will keep fuel pump from pumping fuel right ?
Absolutely!
I have a acura RL 2006 mine keep cutting off while driving

First, is there an engine light code? How many miles are on this vehicle?
@@MachineHeadRepairProjects there is no light, around 192k, I just replaced exactly the same pieces as in your video.
Did you check the fuel relay chip under the dash next to the steering column. Mine did the same on my 2001 CL Type S in my 2001 TL
@@Tammyy_ you mean the fuses?
@@DieJiji no relay
