I have a 91 civic wagovan and my fuel pump died last night on the way home . I was wondering if anyone knows the procedures to replace the pump. Sorry for the noob question I have never really messed with this beater but need it for daily transportation.

Thanks guys.

 

please help guys!!!! anyone!!!!

thx

 

just get under the car and figure it out...... its not hard.

 

lossen the straps drop the tank with a jack slowly now that its down a little, take off the filler hose and the two smaller lines next to it, and dis connect the lines going to the fuel pump all of which are on the driver side i believe. take the tank down disconnect the plug for the gas level guage and the plug for the pump. uncrew the 8 nuts for the fule pump and have fun prying the under coating off the top of the pump and tank to remove it. everything else is in reverse. i had to do this las tsummer to my crx.. it was fun but instead it was a whole new tank, straps, and pump.


things you might need are some small hose clamps and i believe 3/8ths rubber hose.

 

relieve the preassure from the fuel system,disconnect the hoses, unplug the connector, drain any excess fuel by the plug, drop the tank, swap pumps, and do everything in reverse. and u've successfully changed ur fuel pump. i have pics i can post if u need em. lmk

 

Thanks so much guys I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

 

Question.... I just filled my tank the night before this happened do I have to drain it all out? Its got about 10 gal. That would suck.

 

here are a few pics of wat u need to do i hope they are helpfull to you...
relieve the preassure by removing the gas cap
remove the fuel tank drain bolt..


remove the plastic fuel hose guard (or watever its called)..


undo the fuel lines hidden by the cover...

then remove the straps that hold the tank in place.
be sure to have a jack handy it can be ur best friend when puttin the tank back in. hope this is helpful to you.

 

BEFORE YOU DROP THE TANK it might be worth your wild to check your programed fuel injection relay...it might save you a headach... this relay will not turn the fuel pump on if it is bad...do you know where it is located ? if you dont i can help

 

great pics man!!!! Finally I see that there are a few great people on H-T. Thanks a bunch. Sucks that I just filled the tank oh well. I will let you guys know how it went.

oh and about how long did it take you start to finish?

thanks

yeah if you have an idea where that is that would be great.

Thanks for all the help everyone for this thread

 

ok hopefully i can explane its location ....it will be a black box with a metal tab with a 10mm bolt in it with a clearish white plug with about 4 to 6 wires coming out of it ..its behind and above the latch that will pop your hood..if you remove the coin compartment to the left of the steering wheel u shuld be able to see it..maby someone else can help explain this

 

here is a pic of the main relay on a jdm crx same location on the usdm crx..

and here is a break down of the fuel tank....

 

sweet!!!! The wagovan is on the road again lol. It took me some time but I was going back and forth to college to hand in assignments. Wasnt to bad, I was really glad that it was only the fuel pump. It cost me about $160 for the pump and thats with a discount oh well glad to have the beater rolling again.

Thanks again to everyone for there help and kind words.

 

wow $160

 

Damn, you coulda had a much better fuel pump for about half that price. Walbro's are around $90 shipped.

O well, you live and you learn.

 

yeah I know I had one of those from my last build but gave it away to a friend who needed it at the time. I had to get my car back on the road asap so I had to go to carquest. It was $210 without a discount sucks but I dont really care got my car running again that is all that matters to me anyways.
