Was a big help to put a fuel pump in my 1999 Honda odyssey. after watching yours I did find that I did not need to take apart the top section of housing. I just undo the top electrical plugs to get the length needed to uninstall motor from bottom of housing. Caution: Motor wants to release suddenly so be carful not to pull wires. Mine had just enough wire to be able to unplug from housing. Thankyou
Great video .. deja vu all over again . not for the faint of heart .. What brand of pump did you use .. are you sure you got a “quality” pump/motor, as this pump runs at 8000 rpm for hundreds/thousands of hours ... UPDATE .. ordered a Bosch pump ($132 w/tax) from RockAuto, and they sent me an OEM Denso pump .. PS checked for knockoff..its genuine ...
it's a generic brand, I got the one that looks closest to original one. other than the knockoff high flow motors I haven't read too much reviews about these failing. they're so easy to replace you honestly could buy a spare for $12 and keep it in the van. as for the specs, I am not sure it it matches that but it's working in my van, I'm doing other mods to it right now so I haven't tested it extensively but I see no problems with it. I'm more worried about the alternator than this motor
great tutorial. Learn a bunch. did the pump you put in still kicking? If so, can you show me which one you bought? there are just so many junks on Amazon these days.
sorry for the late reply it's been working well for years. just match up the looks with the ones on ebay. you're looking for one that has the shiny outer housing shown in the video
no problem, I'll have a video on the teardown and rebuild of this van's transmission sometime in the future, it's a really big editing project though and I'm in no rush
Interesting, 2001 Accord v6 and 2002 Odyssey use the same power steering pump part number. Honda likes to use the same part on multiple cars. Too bad they also use basically the same transmission for a bunch of cars and they all failed
This was helpful. I did not find another video quite like this, with someone willing to rebuild the fuel pump assembly. I like that you aren't wasting still-functional parts. Holding up the filter allowed me to find it on amazon! Thanks for the video! I have read varying opinions about whether the filter on the Honda Odyssey ever needs to be replaced. What made you decide to rebuild this one? Side question, how does one check the fuel line pressure to know if the pump/filter is adequately working?
I rebuilt it because I was getting syptoms of low fuel pressure, it turned out to be the main fuel pump relay, which is a computer module. all you have to do is reflow the solder and it's fixed. the correct way to to put a gauge on it, the easy way which is dangerous is just pull the fuel line and start the car and see if fuel comes out, just don't have fire nearby. basically you need to ask youself, what are the symptoms, and then figure out what the solution for those are. the filter comes with the motor and if not it's cheap so you might as well do it, do you have to? no, but I don't see why you wouldn't want to do it. I made this video just for the reason you said, I didn't see this kind of in depth step by step on youtube.
@@spokebloke1 No the main relay/ fuel pump relay is a common problem with hondas, the box is under the steering wheel, very easy to get to just look under. google honda main relay and you will see what I mean. actually just search it on youtube for a how-to fix
When i was taking it apart, one of the fuel tubes broke, bc it was so brittle after sitting all these yrs. Now i have to go and get some more tubing lol
I don't have a parts list other than the ones I showed in the video. for the pump itself, just goto Ebay or amazon and look up it for your year vehicle. with amazon you can read reviews and decide if it's reliable. this video is old so I don't know what's out there right now. when this video was made I recommended getting a pump with the same look as the one I showed
no it's aftermarket but it works pretty good, it's been in my cars for years with no problem. make sure you match the look of the one in the video because the other styles I hear are unreliable
@@eksine I also saw your videos regarding the transmission rebuild and you did awesome job. So far my 2004 van has 95k. I’m going to change transmission fluid this summer. This will be my 2nd time changing it, is it okay if I just use Valvoline maxlife full synthetic atf ? And dextron 3 for the power steering? Thanks for the quick response
@@nilolee2426 maxlife ATF is very popular on the odyclub forum, that's where I heard of it and that's what I use. Works good. I don't know about the power steering fluid though, I use the Honda brand fluid. The system doesn't use much so I didn't really look for anything else, but the guys at odyclub could tell you more
@@nilolee2426 my eBay purchase history doesn't go far enough to check. I looked it up on eBay though and just match the look up with what I showed, it seems like it costs about $12 right now. You could also try Amazon and that way you can read the review for those, but I bought mine on ebay
The design is completely different, but the basic concept should apply, your end goal is to replace the electric motor and strainer sock. A brand new assembly is $60 so if you don't want to it's not that expensive for an aftermarket. Yours has a hinged design which is interesting
