i got this far and now im stuck not sure what to do next fuel pump wont come out.

 

Replacement
Do not smoke while working on fuel system,
Keep open flames away from your work area.
1. Remove the rear seat (see section 20) (20) (Hatchback: Remove the spare tire lid and the protective cover)
2. Remove the access panel.
3. Disconnect the 2P connector from the fuel pump.
Remove the fuel pump mounting nuts.
Remove the fuel pump from the fuel tank.
install parts in the reverse order of removal.


did you remove 3 bolts from access panel and 6 from the fuel pump assembly?

i cant seem to find them, i have the three off for the access pannel but the 6 i cant see and dont even think are there. you can see from the pics

 

and whats strange is that i see from the thread where they would be and it seems like mines completely different

 

Why are you pulling the fuel pump?

 

HEY, im having the same problem on my 93. i have the new pump, but it looks nothing like what im seeing under the access panel, the wires connections look the same, but that is about it.

 

for the welbro 255 for boost son

 

lol bump for us, its strange isnt it? my friends teg looked different and was much easier. im sure someone here knows.....

 

yeah, you would think. there are two differient connections on the new pump harness right? one goes to the plug in your pix and the other connects to the main harness. its is almost like what we are seeing under the inspection cover is the sending unit. but why would they be in differeint locations??? This is confusing

 

haha i donno this is a bitch i feel like ripping it out

 

have you guys checked out the other access panel underneath the spare tire cover? are you working on hatchbacks or sedans?

 

Mine is a hatch. I didnt know there was another access panel. That would make life so must easyer. Im dreading droping this tank. i just got gas... GRRR.
IM tempted to take a damn cutoff wheel to the floor...

 

here's the fuel tank removal diagram from the acura service manual. from the look of this, it's under the seat, but you can see there are two access panels. maybe you guys aren't pulling enough crap out to find the pump? either way, check out the other access panel, we could be in for a surprise.

 

This picture you have here is your fuel gauge sending unit. The fuel pump in under the rear seat. Remove the rear seat by pulling (2) clips on each side of the backrests, and (1) 10mm bolt. Then the rear seat will pop off and you will see an access cover similar to the one above, but bigger. Remove that and you'll figure it our from there.

Huh, that is what mine looks like under the rear seat. But ill check the trunk after work. THANKS GUYS!!

 

Well, that is his ABS sensor shown in the picture, which is above the passenger rear brake, so it cant be the fuel tank.

 

Here is what I am talking about...Just making sure your not mixing these 2 access panels up.

 

total win.

 

He didnt say if it was a DA or a DC...

If it is a DA then you have to pull the tank to get to the pump, it cannot be accessed from under the seat, only the sneding unit is there.

 

FUEL PUMP IS IN! thank you yes i didnt look under the seat i was mixed up what a pain lol thanks alot still getting use to honda's its much different then the rx7 world i came from.
As for MR 89EFLS i hope you got to it as well its not hard at all once you find the right access panel lol

 

hehehe

 

Well hell, yes, mine is a 91. A DA. So i have to drop the tank??
DAMN... that sux

 

yup. i know. it sucks for us DA people

 

i have an 87 prelude si 2.0
how can i tell if the fuel pump is under the seat or on top of the fuel tank
i`m assuming its the fuel pump thats needs to be replaced as when i turn the ignition on it continously gargles and hums.

 

you mean that the pump never shuts off? it should build up pressure and then shut off.
