How to access the Fuel Pump housing & filter on a Toyota Celica 

I was looking for a video like this years back but no luck too. So we made it :D now there are tons of similar video, some were re-created based on this one.

Good video and mine is a 2002 Yaris (UK) and it's die a fuel filter but i'm not sure if i'll mess it up but this is will give me confidence.Would i disconnect the fuel pump and start the engine abit as in oanother video petrol burst out alot.

Hey man I'm at the same spot I read the clips need to push together than pulled off but it's not budging... But looks like he did the opposite with the 2 screwdrivers pushing them out 😵😵 lol I'm sitting here cursing an swearing lol let me try pushing out like you hope it works lol

I did it by putting two screwdrivers in then hammering on one at a time it popped off right away

hahaha!

Jorge Vasconsellos what do you mean by pressurize? I think just close fuel cap and turn key to On, fuel pump will activate, fuel line is primed, pressure is created, from then just start. also, because the job is long and filter is suppose to last a long time (at least 80,000 miles), I'd go with Toyota genuine filter instead of a cheapo, peace of mind

You at least need to get in there to install a new strainer and fuel filter. They're all dirty given the age of these.

+George Corona Ever find out why it wouldn't start?

+Daniel Montoya Yeah. found out my fuel pump went bad after the filter change

+Hunter Byington yeah and the smell of gasoline can accompany you for some time in case you drop some on the seats while removing it ;)

If I don't remove the back, we will have no room to film nor light the scene.

Same! I had to get one direct from Toyota

i just used a small paper clip and twisted it tight after putting it through the holes. Works great.

Did you ever figure this out? Cause I think I need that part and can't find it

Just so you know. The 'housing' is the fuel filter. I'm so pissed right now..... I even bought the 'right' one and it's still wrong lOL

@@onlygearwarrior how was it wrong? was the fuel filter ' housing' too big to fit on the original part like shown on the video?

I got my friend to change the L shape Mesh called the fuel suction filter, and the pump and its not hesitating as much now. But still causes some misfire. When he took it off, we can see that the real fuel filter ( inside the plastic casing) was super dirty. so now we gotta find where purchase it.

sorry I have no idea. check with the part graph I guess.

it could be that the filter must be full of gas so that the flow is constant or that you forgot to tighten one of the sensor connectors that the gas pump has

I'm going to change the filter too and I hope I don't have your problem later

Been 10+ years, I don't remember lol. I have had many problems with the yr 2000 celica. Got rid of it years ago.

If your hood latch it messed up this is the only way it will close I've had 2 of these cars behave this way but both were pre facelift

Hi Kimberly the video shows it to be 2000 model.

Not really, i grew to like this funk-y music cuz it was in Driver: You are the wheelman xD

Thank you for pointing this out. It's an ID10T mistake. I changed the title and description hoping the video still be able to guide people to accessing the units (either the housing, filter or fuel pump they are replacing). Thank you again.

Какую резинку, подскажите, пожалуйста?

Your check engine light may have only come on to let you know that you ran out of fuel and your having a fuel flow problem now, now that you've refueled it if it's running fine it may go out on its own or you'll need to use a code reader and reset the check engine light to turn it off. but if sucked in a lot of dirt from the bottom of your tank and it's running really bad you'll need to replace the filter.

@@stevegardnermax it was reading cylinder 2 misfire I changed the plugs and now it's reading multiple misfires lean bank

@@wtfjsm your fuel filter is probably clogged up and blocking your fuel supply which would be causing the misfiring lean reading on all cylinders

@@stevegardnermax I've done the spark plugs I did the coil packs the only thing left is the injectors and fuel pump in the fuel filter but if I change the fuel filter I also have to change the fuel pump correct or can I just change the fuel filter by itself and if so, do I still have to get inside the tank to change it

The same problems just started on my 02 Celica GT, random codes jumping everywhere lean bank, misfires, 02 sensor, throttle position sensor, fuel injection.. so I replaced the plugs, bought some new $30.00 eBay fuel injectors and a $25.00 fuel filter, it turned out to be the fuel filter in my case also. When I pulled it out and dumped it, it looked like it was full of thick black coffee. Should have listened to my own advice first, the fuel pump was actually fine and it was actually a really easy job, the RU-vid video makes it look more difficult than it actually is, now the check engine light is out and the car runs better than ever.

We should all send the job to dealerships for proper repairs.

Remember RU-vid is a place to find other ways to do things with what we have and without buying new tools and still get the job done.. No offense intended RU-vid friend

thanks for the heads up, I'll go ahead and 3d print a tool for this job (like legit)

@@stevegardnermax well his intentions did help me, I can just 3d print the tool since i have a printer

It's 8 dollars at any auto parts place they're cheap plastic the good ones are a little more and metal

Messed up somewhere

Maybe to not make it dirty

You have to take the top part of seat off because theyre in the way

The first start will take a little longer because the pump needs to draw fuel through the new dry filter.

Jason Brown ask doughter to do it lol

You should practice some humility and suck dick

There's this thing called volume. Turn it off 🙄

Like those soccermom jellybean looking suvs out there today, nah Im alright
