'92 toyota- How do I keep my breaks from dragging all the time?
Took the wheel off yesterday to change fuel filter and noticed the caliper was touching the disc hard enough that it took me two hands to turn the unit. This must be cutting down on my fuel mileage and wearing out my break pads too. How do I release a little tension on the breaks?'92 toyota- How do I keep my breaks from dragging all the time?The pads will touch the rotors, this is normal. When the wheel is on and you roll the tire can it then be done with one hand? If so then the wheel will should roll for a bit. If you can`t roll it with one hand or it stops when you let go then you have a sticking brake caliper. The caliper should be replaced then. There are no adjustments that can be done to it. Good Luck.'92 toyota- How do I keep my breaks from dragging all the time?the caliper is hanging up. it looks like you need a new caliper. look at the other side to see if it,s doing the same thing.'92 toyota- How do I keep my breaks from dragging all the time?You have waited too long to change your brake fluid. If you read the manual, it tells you that the fluid must be changed before it becomes too acidic and starts to corrupt the caliper pistons. You can loosen the pistons by %26quot;exercising%26quot; them %26quot;in%26quot; and %26quot;out%26quot; with a large screwdriver to help remove the brake sludge that inhibits their proper functioning. Only use genuine TOYOTA brand brake fluid, when you change it. Anything else may cause a bad chemical reaction and further deteriorate your piston seals. Good Luck!!!
How do I release fuel pressure and chg filter on 1989 chevy pickup?
I want to change the fuel filter on my 1989 chevy pickup because it has been setting for over a year and pressing on the gas I hear the truck struggling as if not enough gas getting to the engine.
The fuel filter package says the pressure should be released before installing. Please explain the steps to do so and to change the fuel filter.
I appreciate detailed instructions, as I give detailed instructions when I answer someones question. Also please tell me if addntl parts need to be changed.
I will be more than happy to award the 10 points to the correct instructor.
Thanks again all you wizards (mechanics).How do I release fuel pressure and chg filter on 1989 chevy pickup?the pressure should mostly bleed off by itself it you just let it sit for a while and cool off. There will be a small amount of pressure on the line when you first take it loose mostly from gravity drainage. Might pick up some absorbent pads for this, or some oil absorbent or cat litter will do just as well. use a drain pan to catch most of it and to have a place to set the old filter when you change it out. Be ready for a shower afterward because there is almost no way to do this in the driveway without getting some splashed on you. Mechanics in a shop with a lift can just back off and let it go into their waste oil drain system, but crawling under it even with a creeper restricts your movement. Start with the engine side first and the filter will control the splash and allow it to drain off a little before pulling the other end. A couple of minutes will do. Have the new filter ready and quickly disconnect the back side and put the new one on. be careful of the direction of flow as some filters have a back flow or check valve built into them. Tighten the connections and check for leaks. A tip before starting is to loosen your clips holding the lines and filter in place before hand and this will make the job a lot easier. Not sure if the 89 has screw clips or press clips. If it's press clips then pop the filter and lines loose with a screwdriver, or if its screw clips then take them loose with a ratchet beforehand. this gives you easier access and will make the job go faster. As far as an actual pressure relief valve, I've only seen that on some heavy equipment with big diesel engines. that instruction is just one of those quirky things that the manufacturer puts in to cover their rears.How do I release fuel pressure and chg filter on 1989 chevy pickup?if you leave it overnight, the pressure will have dissipated anyhow, and it will just be a tiny bit of gas in the lineHow do I release fuel pressure and chg filter on 1989 chevy pickup?well i had a 88 chevy pick up%26quot;differant year same truck%26quot;
all i did was let the truck sit for like 2 hours and it was fine
when you disconect the fuel lines from the filter gas will come out cause it is full anyway
tip: get a fuel pressure gage and check the pressure from the fuel pump
you already have the filter off anyway you can rent them from you local auto parts store
hope this helpsHow do I release fuel pressure and chg filter on 1989 chevy pickup?This truck has a low-pressure TBI fuel system, so all you need to do is remove the fuel cap, which is sufficient enough to release any pressure that may be in the tank.
The fuel filter is located along the inside of the driver side frame rail, and more often than not, the lines are rusted to hell and will probably break as soon as you attempt to unscrew them from the filter. Be prepared to go back to the store to buy fuel line, as this will likely happen. Hopefully you are lucky though. You will want to have a catch pan underneath the fuel filter area, as a surprising amount of fuel will spill out. You can always temporarily cork the end of the fuel line with a piece of a plastic bag and an elastic band to reduce fuel loss if you want to.
There is a bolt that holds the fuel filter bracket in place. You may need to remove this bolt if it gives you heck. (13 mm socket) There are brake lines in the area as well, be careful with those, they will probably be quite crusty.
Install new filter, making sure you install it the correct way, there will be an arrow on the filter indicating direction of fuel flow.
Run engine and check carefully for any leaks.

How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?
My engine stopped running a few days ago. We looked at it and have determined that no fuel is getting to the engine (or not enough). A day or two later I was able to start the engine, but turned it off after a few seconds and then it would not start again afterward.
Are there any specific signs or clues (symptoms, if you will) that will help me determine whether the problem is the pump itself or just the filter, before I go pulling things apart? A Ford guy also suggested the possibility of a problem with the relay, but I'm not sure what that is.
To help you help me, here is what I can tell you... There is no problem with the electrical. The car powers up just fine, and when I turn the key to start the engine, it tries to start but the engine never actually kicks in. Our neighbor brought over some kind of spray, opened the tube were the air filter goes, and sprayed some in and told me to try to start the car. The engine started, but only ran for short time. It was at that point he said it might be the fuel pump.
I bought the car used from a friend long ago. I don't recall EVER having the fuel filter changed, and I highly doubt the guy I bought it from did, either. I have done a lot of off-roading in the desert, too. These are all good reasons why the fuel filter could be the problem.
I'm on a super tight budget, otherwise I would just take it in and say %26quot;here, figure it out please%26quot;. I'd like to try to figure out what exactly the problem is myself, that way I'm only paying for what actually must be done.
Thanks in advance.
If you need more information in order to help me, give me your email or something and I will get back to you that way.How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?Your friend sprayed starting fluid into the intake. The fact that it started %26amp; ran for a couple of seconds was the starting fluid burning off.
First, make SURE the car is not out of gas! Check to make sure that the fuse to the fuel gauge is not blown. On that model Ford, when that fuse blows, the gauge STAYS at the position it was when it blew, even if you turn the car off %26amp; turn it back on. It APPEARS to be working and it appears that you have gas but the gauge will NOT go down to the E.
The NEXT thing you need to do is check for a blown fuel pump fuse. If THAT'S good, then:
Take the gas cap off, put your ear up to the tank, %26amp; have someone turn the key to the %26quot;on%26quot; position (not the %26quot;crank%26quot; position). You should hear a faint whirring sound for about three seconds, then it will cut off. If NOT, then the pump is not working. This means that either no electricity is getting to the pump, OR the pump is bad.
Behind the side panel, just in front of the passenger door, will be an electrical component about the size of a walnut. This component is called the %26quot;inertia%26quot; or %26quot;rollover%26quot; switch. Its' purpose is to shut off the electricity to the fuel pump in case of an accident. Sometimes the switch goes off for no reason, and has to be reset. There will be a button on the side of this switch. Push this reset button and retest to see if the pump starts working.
If this doesn't work, then you'll need to get a test light and test the wiring to see if and where the electrical circuit is not closing. Start with the wires AT the tank and work your way forward until you find electricity flowing for those three seconds that the switch is on. If you have 12v flowing into the tank and the pump still isn't working, then you need to replace the pump. Otherwise, you'll have to keep testing the circuit until you find the problem. Test for 12v going INTO the inertia switch AND going out. Unplug the fuel pump relay from the fuse box and test for juice going into it. If so, plug it back in and turn the key on while feeling the relay. It should make a clicking sound that you can feel. If not, replace the relay.
If, on the other hand, you HEAR the pump running when you do the original test when you put your ear to the tank, that STILL does not necessarily mean that the pump is good. Unhook the line going into the fuel filter and do the 3-second test to see if you've got fuel flow coming out of the tank. If no flow or only a trickle, replace the pump. Then hook the filter back up %26amp; check for flow coming OUT of the filter.
Sorry for the long post, I tried to compact it as much as possible, but there are just too many tests needed to get to the bottom of the problem.How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?fuel pump no doubt..that's why it runs until the pump gets hot then wont start.a bad fuel filter will make your truck sputter but still start.How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?i had same prob with my saab and it was the pump and if u knocked the petrol tank it would start then cut out so i think it may be your pump has gone.How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?Is it carburetor or FI? If you want to know if its the pump you can try to hook up a fuel pressure gauge if you can get your hands on it but you should hear the fuel pump activate as soon as you turn the key on the ON position sort of like a buzz try to have some one listen by the tank. But chances are your filter is dirty clogging the fuel port to get to the cylinder.How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?I just went through the exact same thinking with my jeep last week, This is how went about it. I went for the fuel filter first it was only a $30 gamble but given the age of the car and the miles I had on it it should be replaced anyway so I figured that was money well spent.
Long story short it ultimately was the fuel pump. I called a shop for an estimate and it was $313 for the pump and $200 for labor. So I purchased the entire fuel pump assembly at Advance auto for $230 and with a floor jack and a buddy to help. Within 3 hours I was back on the road. It wasn't hard at all to drop the tank( and it was full ), even had to remove the trailer hitch too. I saved about $283.00 and a tow bill.How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?OK first you find fuel filter take aloose the end going toward the front of the car , try to start the car if fuel comes out there good then its the fuel pump, If it doesn%26quot;t come out good its probably the fuel filter, you can look at the filter an should be able to c if it%26quot;s dirty.How can I tell whether I need to replace my fuel pump or fuel filter ('95 Ford Explorer)?Thanks for all the details. Every one should be so specific.
First of all try this. Strike the bottom of the fuel tank firmly with something similar to a baseball bat. Now try to start. If it starts, your fuel pump is on its last leg, possibly just giving you its last start. If it doesn't start, have a helper turn the key to the %26quot;on%26quot; position while you listen to the fuel tank after removing the gas cap. It should hum for about three seconds, then shut off. If not, check the relay. It is in the underhood fuse block. It should be labeled.
A fuel filter that has been long neglected could be the cause for a fuel pump failure. After a while, the pump has to work harder and harder to force fuel through the filter, which eventually causes it to burn itself up. Also, using fuel additives is hard on a pump and so is running low on gas. The fuel pump is most efficient when submersed in gas, keeping it running cool and having an unobstructed fuel filter. A fuel filter should be replaced once a year, or every 10-12,000 miles.

How do I bleed the fuel Lines of my car?
I recently changed the Fuel Filter of my Honda Accord 88, since still the car does not start, a mechanic told me that the only thing I must do is to bleed the fuel lines and the car should be fine after that. How do I bleed the fuel Lines of my car?How do I bleed the fuel Lines of my car?Be sure that you installed the filter correctly (with the flow going to the engine). If that is OK, turn your key on and off several times to get the fuel pump working. (Do not engage the starter, just cycle the key)
Make sure you have a fully charged battery. This may seem weird, but Hondas of that age do not do well with a low battery, even with a jump start.
As long as the fuel pump is good, you should be able to start the car!How do I bleed the fuel Lines of my car?you should not have to bled the fuel lines of a gasoline fueled vehicle.How do I bleed the fuel Lines of my car?I never heard of bleeding a fuel line, if I were you I'd find another

How do I unplug the fuel relay in my 4runner?
I have a 92 4runner. The fuel relay is in the fuze box. It seems like I can just pull it out. I tried and it was resistant. I feel like just yanking it hard to get it out but dont wanna damage anything. Is there a certain way to unplug them or do I just pull lightly Maybe with some pliars? I want to do this before changing my fuel filter. I hear it helps not bleed as much fuel out.How do I unplug the fuel relay in my 4runner?first of all. why are you changing your fuel filter? this is not a fun filter to change! plan on just replacing the fuel line because it will most likely snap. years of working in a toyota dealership and we never replaced these unless the fuel pump died.
second of all. pulling the fuel relay will not reduce the pressure in the lines or save any fuel from leaking out. the fuel pump will not turn on while the key is out of the ignition, so there will be minimal fuel pressure. expect a busrt of fuel at first and then a slow trickle...
third of all. the relay will not want to come out. chances are its been in the same place since 1992 so its probably sort of stuck, just keep working it and it will eventually come out.How do I unplug the fuel relay in my 4runner?Removing the relay want help release the fuel pressure. The best way to work on the fuel system is to let the engine cool down for about three hours before you begain removing any fuel lines,the fuel filter will either by under the hood or next to the fuel tank,you should be ok if you slide a drain pan under the filter to catch any spilled gas.

How do i change the front fuel pump in a 94 Ford F150?
I have a 94 Ford F150 with a 5 litre engine 2 wheel drive that is not getting gas. It starts when i spray starting fluid in it. I'm not exactly sure what needs to be removed to get the tank off to change the pump. Does the fuel filter line need to be taken loose first? Can I just take the straps loose and drop the tank without taking anything else apart first? What type of problems should I be aware of before I start this project?How do i change the front fuel pump in a 94 Ford F150?If you have a hoist or just a couple of buddies the easiest is to take the bed off and all the access you need is right there. To take off the filler there should be three screws behind the filler door around the gas cap. This is required. Other than that take off your skid plate (my 94 3/4 ton has one, but my 94 1/2 ton did not) and take loose your straps, and keep an eye one the wiring harness leading up to the pump and sending unit (right hand side). Other than that just lower your tank.How do i change the front fuel pump in a 94 Ford F150?Pull the bed as stated above however remember the rear light wiring harness. This is a whole lot easier than dropping the tank.
How can I test a fuel pump in a 97 Chevy Express Van?
I have a 97 Chevy Express that just stalled out on me. The engine cranks when I turn the key but sounds like it's not getting any fuel. I changed the fuel filter, I can hear the fuel pump relay %26quot;click%26quot; on when turn the ignition key. I'm guessing maybe the fuel pump is bad. Since it's in the gas tank, I'd like to be able to be sure of that before tackling that job. OR is there another possiility that could be preventing it from starting?How can I test a fuel pump in a 97 Chevy Express Van?The only way to know is to put a pressure guage on the fuel rail. You may get fuel by pressing the valve but you have no way of knowing if it has the correct pressure.
You did not say what engine you have, but the 5.7L needs 60 to 66 psi.How can I test a fuel pump in a 97 Chevy Express Van?turn the key to the %26quot;on%26quot; position without turning over, go back to the tank and listen for a whine sound, if you dont hear that sound the pump is dead. also on the engine there is a fuel rail, on the rail there is a schrader valve, looks like a bike tire valve. put on safety glasses and depress the needle in the valve and hold while the key is on, this should let you bleed down the pressure. turn off for a couple seconds, then turn on and recheck for pressure, if you have high pressure again, the pump is ok.

Just changed the fuel filter and don't know how to bleed the system. Truck isn't getting fuel.How do you bleed the fuel system of a 2003 suburban?You should not have to bleed it... This is a GAS engine right?? If not ,you may have to crank over a diesel several times before fuel will reach the injector pump...
On the gas engine, there is no fuel system bleeding needed. May need to turn key to the on position and back off several times waiting 2-3 secs between times to prime the lines with fuel and fill the filter.. It should start.. Was the fuel pump working before the filter change??How do you bleed the fuel system of a 2003 suburban?Make sure you installed the filter right. You should not have to bleed it. Make sure the arrows are pointing the correct way according to the fuel flow.How do you bleed the fuel system of a 2003 suburban?Remove the neck off the tank and cyphon, or if its screened you may just have to remove the tank.

How does a car start acting when it needs the fuel filter changed?
I have an 02 mercedes s430, and I have noticed its lazy on me, its doesnt have the horsepower it did b4, the other night i had stepped on the gas pedal and it kinda hesitated to catch speed velocity, and it doesnt want to go past 70mph..what could this be. There are no noises coming from t he car its normal when im at a stop, its just the horspwer, seems weak, my friend said it sounded like a fuel filter problem... Advice please??How does a car start acting when it needs the fuel filter changed?could be the fuel filter. also take a look at the air filter. the air filter will do that tooHow does a car start acting when it needs the fuel filter changed?What you described could be a fuel filter, that is rather typical behavior for that. It could also be clogged fuel injectors or a clogged air filter.
I would change the filters, they are usually rather inexpensive, and add some injector cleaner.How does a car start acting when it needs the fuel filter changed?It could be several different things. I'm not familiar with Mercedes but it could be a fuel filter. That would fairly inexpensive to begin with.
When is the last time it had a tune up? It may need new spark plugs and wires, etc.
It could also be much more involved. I would change the fuel filter first. If that doesn't fix it then see a good mechanic.How does a car start acting when it needs the fuel filter changed?yes you seem to on the right track it sounds like the fuel filter the most commom speed for a filter sign is at about 60 to 70 mph. but dont be fooled it is an easy change if it is the external one it should take about 20 minutes because the benz has a disconnect type of connector even on the filter its self theres no mis.How does a car start acting when it needs the fuel filter changed?thats possible or ur fuel pump may be getting week and needs 2b changed either way changing both would b a good idea...its tune up time.. also consider plugs,wires and distributer cap and ur car should run like u want it 2 againHow does a car start acting when it needs the fuel filter changed?Before you start changing parts, I would take that car and have it diagnosed properly. There's nothing more wastefull than guessing and throwing parts in car and %26quot;hope%26quot; that it will fix the problem. First of all if you have a clogged fuel filter or fuel injectors, it will cause the car to run %26quot;lean%26quot; due to the restricted flow of fuel and the car will throw a %26quot;check engine%26quot; light. Take it to a dealer, and who knows they might just have a service bulletin regarding the problem you're having.vc common name given to

Do you have to pull the head on a 2004 Ford Taurus to change the spark plugs?
I have changed the fuel filter %26amp; it was full of rust. This stopped the sputtering at low speed 4 about a week. Think it probably needs changed again. While I am doing this for my friend I was going to change the spark plugs. I don't have access to the car right now it is in another state, %26amp; before I buy spark plugs I was wondering if anyone could tell me how hard they are to change.Do you have to pull the head on a 2004 Ford Taurus to change the spark plugs?No you do not have to take the head off.
They are fairly easy to change also.Do you have to pull the head on a 2004 Ford Taurus to change the spark plugs?Typical V6 FWD vehicle - the back plugs are somewhat of a hassle but not anywhere near as bad as some vehicles.

It takes 3 bolts that are 7/32 of inch and 3 clips . This makes it easier to get to back plugs . I do a lot of Taurus repairs and this is the best way to get your hands back there . If it is a DOHC motor you have to pull the upper intake if it wraps over the plugs . Have not changed a 2004 DOHC so I am not sure but on the 2001 you have to . Good luck and this is about a 2 hour job taking your time less on the 12 valve Vulcan motor . Do not get frustrated it isn't all that bad .Do you have to pull the head on a 2004 Ford Taurus to change the spark plugs?No need to remove head, the back cylinders are a bit of a pain to remove and replace plugs in , but straightforward job.

Fuel filter?
Ok, so i'm going to change my fuel filter, I know how to change it, but thats it. What other steps do I have to take?
Does the fuel system have to be de-pressurized? If so, how?
It's an 89 GMC sierra.
Thanks.Fuel filter?Ok heres the skinny on your little situation the fuel system needs to be depressureized its fairly simple find the fuse for your fuel pump and take it out now start your truck and let it turn over for about 15 or 20 seconds there you go seing that is an 89 if I recall you just need a set of wrenches just ask at the parts store where you get it and if you need a quick disconnect fitting tool you can get them at the same time for about 10 dollars now when you get under there and there is a quick disconnect there are 3 a blue and 2 white ones but the biggest one is for the a/c system it should be the blue one put it on the end of your old filter push it in and slide the fuel line off put it back together and your all setFuel filter?its been 3 years, but double check some chevys and gmc require a special tool to take it off, and put new one on. If you dont get any good answers I will phone a friend and find out for sure, he is a grease monkey. oh dont forget to prime when u are done. turn key to the on position 3 times, but dont crank it, should be able to hear the fuel pump and double check for leaks before you crank, and check again. other then that should be it, put a lil pan under it when u disconnect it, and dont have ur face right under it, lesson many learn the hard way. should get a lil fuel out but not a ton, and old filter will have some in it.Fuel filter?The only thing to do is make sure the keys are not in the ingnition, take the gas cap off, and spray the lines with some PB Blaster and let soak for a while to get rust off. No matter what you will have some pressure in the lines and gas will come out. The most important thing is when you are done and everything is back to normal make sure you prime the filter. Turn the key forward to the on position (Not starting), then turn off and then do it again. Then you may start the vehicle and watch for leaks. You want to prime the filter twice so you don't burn out the fuel pump. Other than that it should be fairly easy. Just have a 16mm and 20mm open end or line wrench handy and you should be all set.Fuel filter?Well, first you have to remove that damned #3 from the back window, or I am not going to help you with anything. I am cool with the Red Wings sticker, but that #3 sticker has to go, and I mean now!

How do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?
I need to change the fuel filter on my Olds 88 and i think there is a relay for it. If anyone knows what relay it is that would be helpful. Or maybe even where i can find the right relay to pull.
ThanksHow do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?There's nothing that can be done with the fuel pressure regulator to relieve fuel system pressure. And it doesn't look like a switch. It's a small round silver canister attached to one end of one of the fuel rails, with a vacuum hose attached to it.
The fuel pressure can be relieved by running the engine dry after removing the fuel pump relay or fuse (#6 in your passenger side fuse panel), but the easiest way is to just depress the Schraeder Valve on the fuel rail. Use a small screwdriver to depress the valve, holding some shop towels/rags around it, to keep it from spraying all over the place.

Also, loosen the fuel filler cap to relieve fuel tank vapor pressure.How do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?The relay should be in the fuse box that's under the hood. You will see a black plastic box with a cover (lid) that you will need to pop off to get to the relay ,on the bottom of the lid will be a lable to show you the different relays %26amp; fuses.How do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?there should be a Fuel pressure regulator that looks like a lil switch im not sure where it is tho sorry if thats no helpHow do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?yes

Wrx fuel filter?
how often do you have to change the fuel filter on a wrx(not sti)?
Also what does the oringinal factory one look like cause i want to know if mine is still the original one. THANKSWrx fuel filter?if you have a '02-'04 WRX the filter is on the driver side of the engine bay, near the intercooler. It is a silver cylinder that looks like this
https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/image
If you have a '05+ the filter is in the tank. Subaru recommends you replace it every 30,000 miles but it is so easy to change that many people replace it every 15,000 miles. It is cheap insurance and running slightly lean from poor fuel flowWrx fuel filter?02-04 WRX's have the filter mounted on the driver's side strut tower, next to the Intercooler. It's a small cylinder, black or silver, with two hoses coming from the top. On 05-08 WRX's, the filter is inside the fuel tank, and to my knowledge not considered serviceable by itself. The recommended interval should be listed in the owner's manual; every model is different.Wrx fuel filter?every 40,000 miles is normal for any other vehicleWrx fuel filter?it should say in the owners manual

What is the entire process of changing the fuel pump and fuel filter in a 1985 toyota cressida?
I own a 1985 toyota cressida and it has not been ran since 2001 so there has been gas in it for about 8 years now. The car starts but dies out because the gas is no longer good in it. I also filled the tank thinking that it empty and it overflowed and came out from underneath the car. Now I need to know how to change the fuel filter? How to drain the tank w/o syphening it? If there is a drain/hole? How to change the fuel pump? Best way to drop the fuel tank? Please help me out, i need to get it up and running asap!!!!! and i wont take offense to the step by step response either. Thank you!What is the entire process of changing the fuel pump and fuel filter in a 1985 toyota cressida?the first step is to jack up the back of the car. undo the bolts on the straps that hold the tank in place and the ones on the filler neck. lower it down with a jack cause if its full it will be heavy. the leak you have is probably around the sending unit gasket. so take the sending unit out and that will be your easiest way to drain it. without siphoning. replace the gasket on the sending unit. but after you drain it. get some lacquer thinner and dump in the tank about a gallon and slosh it around and let it sit over night. this will remove the dye and sludge build up in the tank. while your doing that. take your gas line and use a compressor disconnect the line at the carburetor and blow through it with the compressor. if you have an in-line filter you will need to replace it with a new one. after that take the carb off and put a kit in it because it will be gummed up from the dye in the gasoline. there is a filter at the inlet of your carb gas line be sure to change that also. take the carb apart and soak it in lacquer thinner be sure to take the jets out then reassemble the carb with a new kit hook up the gas line empty the tank and blow inside it with the compressor to dry it out replace the sending unit bolt it back in place and fill it up. that should have you up and running in 1 days time.Name for a kitten curly hair
How do you remove the connections at each end of the fuel filter in order to change it out?
This is on a Ford F150 4.2L 6 cylinder 1997 modelHow do you remove the connections at each end of the fuel filter in order to change it out?2 wrenches on the one end and you can use a pair of needle nosed pliers on the other end with the tabs to squeeze together.How do you remove the connections at each end of the fuel filter in order to change it out?http://www.toolmancentral.com/Fuel_SysteHow do you remove the connections at each end of the fuel filter in order to change it out?some fuel filters take a special tool but I think your f150 just has plastic clips that slide out diagonally you push the line on the filter a little bit then remove the clips some new filters come with clips so look at the new one 1st good luck
Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?
I am having problems starting my truck. We have tried to change the fuel filter but it is still not starting. It will start for a few seconds if we add gas directly to the carburetor. The fuse is not blown, we checked that, the next thing we can think is the fuel pump, but we know neither where it would be or how to tell if it is working. Please Help!!!! Thank you.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?The fuel pump is in the tank. On the 1996 model, it is required 50 p.s.i. to start the engine. even if you hear a %26quot;buzzing noise%26quot;, the pump may still be bad. if it is not producing enough volume, or pressure. also check the fuel pump relay. it is located under the hood in a fuse/relay panel. look at the fuse/relay legend to find the relay. have someone turn the key on if the relay %26quot;clicks%26quot; it is generally good. second find the wiring harness that goes to the tank, under the truck, on the frame rail, thee will be a gray wire in that harness. probe that wire with a test light and have someone switch the key on again, the test light should burn for about 3 seconds, that will tell you that the fuel pump is getting power and the fuel pump is bad. drop the tank and replace the pump. all though, quite costly, as it only comes as a complete unit, it is the only way to fix your truck.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?I dunno.. I can't see it.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?in the fuel tank!Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?Probably mounted on the tank.
Take of the fuel line and see if fuel comes out, also check for a clogged filter.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?It is probably inside the gas tank, to see if it is working merely take the fuel line off the injector(I'm assuming it's fuel injected) and turn the motor over while someone holds the line over a bucket, if it shoots gas into it then your fuel pump is fineWhere is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?You are correct if spray starting fluid into the throttle body and is running 9 times out of ten it is the fuel pump it is located in the fuel tank and will take you about an 11/2 hrs to fix drop the tank and it is on the topWhere is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?As the lady said..its in the tank...... had to replace mine several months ago.... We removed the rear bed to do it... lots easier than dropping the tank...just a few wires and 6 bolts....we used a small engine lift and a nylon strap.... worked for us....Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?it's at the front on which ever side the gas cap is. outside the tank before you get to the rear or front seat. (Dual Or Single Cab.)
raise up from the bottom of the vehicle about 6 inches.
When You Fill Up, The Fuel Should Be Alot Colder that the fuel already going throught the line, just after you fill, go to the side and have the car idling and if the fuel line is getting colder rather quickly, and/or the pump is gently wibrating, then it should be working fine.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?It is in the gas tank your truck needs 50 pounds of pressure in the fuel system to start. The fuel pump is a common problem on that model truck so I would bet that is the problem. I hope you don't have the tank to full it is a pain to drop the tank when it's full.
PS don't even think about smoking while you are replacing the pump.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?The fuel pump is in the gas tank. The entire tank will have to be removed and then the fuel pump assembly can be removed. But before you do that: The easiest test is to put a fuel pressure guage on the fuel rail and see if the fuel pump can achieve about 45 PSI of pressure, that is what is required to start these vehicles.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?The fuel pump assembly is located inside of the fuel tank. The tank will have to be removed for service of the pump. A way to check for low fuel pressure is to turn the ignition key on and off 2 to 3 times to prime the fuel rail then see if it will start. You should here a buzzing every time you turn the key on. If not then either the pump has failed completely or more likely has a broken wire in the harness on top of the tank.Where is the fuel pump on a 1996 GMC sonoma?When you have your tank dropped to get this repaired, be sure that your mechanic checks all the contact points. I had a loose ground wire on my fuel pump that drove me crazy because it worked SOMETIMES.

How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?
I drive an '85 chrysler 5th Avenue. I'm not a total ignoramous when it comes to car maintainance. I changed the fuel filter today, and it occured to me that it's probably about time to change the spark plugs, too.
This is something I want to learn how to do for it's own sake; in the name of competence.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?the one thing to remember above all else...only do one at a time and then put the wire back on before going on to the next one. if you have two off and forget which one is which, they could be put on wrong, causing the plugs to fire at the wrong time. will sound funky.
be sure to check the gap...the distance between the plug and the L shaped piece. if it is now right, it could cause problems. your owners manual should have that info.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?With a plug socket and socket wrench.
As for the particulars, the V-6 in that car is very difficult to work on. You will need a special flexible extension to reach the plugs on the firewall side.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?Get a man too. :) LOLHow do I change the sparkplugs in my car?yeah a socked and a dado de 5/8How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?In the name of Compentence I wish you luck :) I have no clueHow do I change the sparkplugs in my car?Actuly the only things you need pretty much are a 5/8 inch socket with a extenchen, a Ujoint, and ratchet and torque wrench. use the ratchet to take them off and use the torque wrench to torque them down. you can also find the specs of your car of how far you should torque them down in a car service manual for your car. Also you will want to make sure the gap on the plug is gapped to manufactors spec if the car is stock.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?I would suggest getting a Chilton manual for that car. It is possible that they need to be torqued to a certain spec--not sure on that. But you will need to change each plug separately to keep the firing order in line.
Also, I would change the wires too. Tha helps performance and increases gas mileage. Again go one at a time and don't mess up the firing order.
Basically, just remove a wire and a plug, replace it and move on to the next one. You will probably need a deep-well socket for the plugs.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?fairly strait foward for the 4 cylinder remove old one gap a new one and tighten it down, buy a cheap tourqe wrench if you don't feel comfortable guessing on it, once you own one it's really nice to have if you do a lot of your own work.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?I recommend that you go to a parts store and get one of those HAYNES manuals for about $16.00,and it will tell you about a whole lot more than just how to change your plugs.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?if it has aluminum heads you will want to put anti-seize compound on the spark plug threads before you put them in. this insures that the plugs can be removed laterHow do I change the sparkplugs in my car?i think you should the plug wires as well. socket and wrench. pull the wires off and mark them. then match up the new ones. this will help to get them back on right
buy a manual also it will help for future repairs other things you can do yourself.How do I change the sparkplugs in my car?Not trying to be a smartie but if you cant locate the spark plugs you really shouldn't be trying any maintnance.

Fuel Filter 97 Chevy Blazer?
I was needing to change my fuel filter and I was wandering if someone could tell me where its located and how to take it off. I have a 97 Chevy Blazer 2 door, 4 wheel drive. Fuel Filter 97 Chevy Blazer?it should be along the frame, on the driver,s side back by the back tire. i believe it take that special tool to get the clips off.Fuel Filter 97 Chevy Blazer?it SHOULD be located inside of the left framerail about midway back. it has been a while since i have tooled on a blazer, but im pretty sure its correct. also, its mounted with tapered thread hex head fittings so your standard run of the mill wrenches should do the trick. first clean the area around the filter, the filter itself, and the fittings screwed into it. when you loosen the fuel line to change the filter, there might be residual pressure in the line, so be extremely careful!! now. remove both fittings (after cleaning the outside of the filter and fittings, and noting the orientation/direction of the filter), slide the filter out of its mounting bracket, and replacement is opposite of removal.Fuel Filter 97 Chevy Blazer?Drivers side right next to the frame rail and gas tank. Removal is pretty simple, just unscrew the fuel line on one side and unclip the other side. Installation is pretty simple also as the filter can really only go in one way, GOOD LUCK!!!!

Fuel filter depressurize?
i drive a 2001 s10 i want to change the fuel filter. my gas light is on and i was wondering if i still have to depressurize it first if so how do i do that? if not what would happpen if i didnt?Fuel filter depressurize?Just crack open the fuel filler cap, that will release most of the pressure and stop fuel pouring out when the filter is disconnected.Fuel filter depressurize?You can depressurize it on the fuel rail under your hood. The valve looks similar to the air valve on your tires. Even if you don't depressurize, it is still OK to replace the filter. It may squirt a little gas, but not much. Just place a rag over the connection as you disconnect it to be safe. A Haynes or Chilton's manual for your vehicle will give you details on where to find you filter, how to disconnect it, how to depressurize etc. It would be a good investment to get the manual because of your vehicles age. Other things will begin to need replacement and the manual can show you how on almost any repair.Fuel filter depressurize?can just loosen fuel line a little at a time
