My friend just wanted to let you know today I installed that fuel pressure pump on the 2014 GMC terrain 2.4. no problems at all I also did purchase the original GM pump everything came out just great!! I also gave it a new oil change with the correct dexos oil, and ACDelco oil filter. thank you for your help and for your time in assisting me take care... Jose'
I just purchased a high-pressure fuel pump everything that you described is exactly what’s going on with my 2012 Chevy impala LTZ and I had it scanned, and one of the Codes was P0172
I'm getting ready to do this soon. I had a knocking noise replaced the fuel injectors went away. A week later noise back running like crap and oil smells like fuel. Great video it's saved and hopefully this will fix it!
our 2012 equinox starts and when on idle starts to like wana turn off and it does unless i press the gas ... engine light was on and i replaced the gas cap and engine light inmediately turned off.... but still when turned on and regulates down feels like it wants to turn off and it still does unless i press the gas after that it stays on normaly its a 2.4 l any tips oh and no codes come up and engine light is gone ever since i changed gas cap....... do you think its my fuel pump i have to replace just my guess
Battling this exact issues with my 2011 Regal with the 2.4 dealership wants to charge me 1100 to do it. 700 of it being the pump n feed line. Gonna keep this video handy and attempt the repair myself
Make sure that pump is OEM from GM! I seen people replace it with an after Market and still have the same issue. Also you do not need to position or remove the cam-follower. I’m here if you need help!
@@Fwerks.1592 following up with you... With a sigh of relief did the pump and feed line couple days ago. My 11 regal has been running great I just put a scanner on it. To see if there was any hidden pending codes. And nothings showing 🤞🤞🤞 this battle is finally over
@Hugo Heredia thank you for the support! If you need any help assistance feel free to reach out to me if you encounter any issues. My email is foreignwerks15@gmail.com. I will have more videos on this vehicle in the near future!
Sorry for the late reply! Have you tried cleaning the mass air flow sensor? Have your tried checking the injectors? Does the car act funny or anything you notice after the check engine light?
Good video brother. Tackling the job first thing in the morning. So special line tool plus a 17 mm line wrench are the only tools I’ll have to purchase. Thanks again I’ll keep in touch..
Good video, it helped me to change my 2012 Equinox pump. Please remember too pull out and clean the cap behind the pump spring in the engine block, it can get stuck.
i was told that needed to be replace and i was like why it wasn't really dirty or worn. I was also told that it has to go on the flatness part so rotate that shaft in there somehow and place it. I didn't see you touch it so i'm thinking is it even necessary.
@@rodscomfortblecreations8544 Yeah man the Cam - follower is the name, i was ready to just put the HPFP solo but being that it's (follower) acts like a bearing and gets worn from the bad oil and fuel it is a good time to replae -- the part number for the alignment tool is EN 48896 which you will need to place the correct depth for the follower, you will need some needle noise pliers to pull the original one out and spray down with 5w-30. They say you have to rotate the engine by hand to get the exhaust cam to be(TDC) flat on the side the follower faces. Bro Bro Growers Love, Peace.
@Bronson Clark thank you for watching! Here is the tool you will need to disconnect the fuel line, "Lisle 3/8 Disconnect part#39420". Your local advance auto should carry them. If you need a walkthrough please don't hesitate to reach out to me! Good luck and happy wrenching!
couldn't it be fixed with just a new gasket? from what I've read it's a faulty gasket.... I also thought about using a hi-tac gasket saver to strengthen the gasket so it won't happen again... thoughts?
A gasket??? Noooooo this is definitely an internal issue that was failing. I didn’t have a leak issue. I had an issue with fuel leaking into the cylinder via the cam lifter. The spring on it wears out . Please do not use any gasket make or hi -tac gasket! Since it’s fuel it will break down quick! Use the metal gasket provided with the pump!
We have to try this. The so called mechanic says thats not the issue? It wouldn't go past 25mph, the suv was stalling, the lights would not cut off after we cut the veh off. When he test drove it, he said it ran fine?? What do u think??
Sounds like you may have a bad throttle body. A bad throttle body can prevent the car from exceeding a certain speed limit. It can also cause a car to stall. Did the mechanic properly scan the vehicle?
Great video, very informative. However I see no mention of replacing the high pressure fuel line between the pump and the fuel rail. Isn't that required when changing the pump? Not throwing rocks, just asking as I'm attempting mine now and want to make sure it's right.
Good morning! It all depends on the mileage on the vehicle. It’s not required to replace the high pressure fuel line but since your are there it would be a good precautionary item to do. I did not replace the line since this was the first time undoing the hp pump/line. So the line was still good and leak free. You can only undo the line a couple times before you have to replace it.
So the fuel pump for these equinox’s is on the motor? It’s not in the gas tank like a lot of cars? Or is there also another pump assembly in the tank? Forgive me if these are stupid questions I’m just trying to learn so I can help my friend change hers out
So the high pressure fuel pump is on the block. The traditional pump your talking about it the sending unit. That’s always located inside the fuel tank. All vehicles have a fuel pump inside the tank and they also have a high pressure fuel pump located somewhere on the motor. No worries you’re all good bro!
Thank you for the video, Sir! I have the exact problem and P0172 code on our 2013 Terrain 2.4 and I also smell some fuel on the oil dipstick as well. I watched another video where the problem was with the Injectors and I'm not sure how I can tell if the issue is the HPFP and the Injectors or not. I guess trial and error will have to tell or just replace both. Also, I read on a Forum that you may have to set the alignment with the CAM Shaft to the new HPFP, is this true? I know we didn't see you do it but just wondering if you have any words of wisdom on that! Again, Thanks Bro!!
The high pressure fuel pump is a very common issue among the eco gm engines! Whatever you do, DO NOT mess with there lifter. I seen people rotate the engine to align the lifter to then align the new pump. After they all do they they have all these codes popping up. Just replace the pump and nothing else, I would also replace the fuel line if you can get it. When installing the pump putting it against the block will give you a little resistance. Once you line it up and start both bolts the rest is piece of cake!
Also to answer the question no it’s not true that you have to rotate the the engine to install the lifter/ cam roller. Just don’t touch it or try to put another one in there. This equinox has been running solid ever since the video and it’s been over a year lol
Mine went into stabilitrak and engine power reduced the other day. Cleaned throttle body wasn't it, bought new one wasn't it. Made it to the auto zone to use the scanner, and it said, "It's mostly likely the hpfp." i noticed it make a weird sound around where it's located.
What are all the tools need to get all the parts off? My car has been broken down for months because of the fuel pump and I can’t afford to take it into the shop
Are you handy with mechanical work? It’s not that hard just need some basic tools and the fuel discount tool. I have them listed on the description of the video.
Nice video just changed fuel pump and oil. The oil smelt like gas and my equinox would run for awhile with key off. Question I just changed the oil same time as pump how long do you think I should drive it before changing oil again. Just want to make sure all the gas is gone
I just happened to be trying to pump fuel from a 2013 Equinox that has a pretty full tank because this car is just sitting for now. Disconnected the supply line before the schrader valve and connected some hose going into a container. I jumped the run crank relay but fuel pump will not stay on. Seems like a prime cycle or something. Is there an easy way to make the fuel pump run continuously? I mean, aside from crawling underneath and jumping 12v to the pump connector.
@@Fwerks.1592 just want to pump the fuel out in order to transfer it to a vehicle that is being used. I planned on putting the car on ramps and seeing if I can get at the pump connections. If I can then I'll just jump 12v to the pump and I'll be able to get this done. But if there's an easier way, let me know.
How will I know if my pump is bad? I have no codes but I did an oil analysis and it came back more than 5% fuel dilution. Coil packs are good and spark plugs are good. Is there a test I can run to see if my pump is having issues? Thanks in advance
When the pump is on its way out, you will definitely get a check engine light. If you have access to a scanner try checking the fuel trims! How old are the spark plugs? Check the gap on those spark plugs.
Having an issue with my 2012 Equinox 3.0L where it cranks but doesn't start. Tried swapping the fuses involved and same issue, also tried battery jump pack and battery tender overnight to make sure it isn't a lack of power. I am thinking now it may be a fuel pump. Does that sound right to you? If so I may give this procedure a try. When the key is turned you can hear it crank but it wont start.
Remember, you need fuel, spark and air for the car to be able to start. Here are a few tips to check if your fuel pump is bad or not. Have someone turn the key into “On “ position “ while someone else checks in the back underneath for a buzzing/ whining noise. That should be your fuel pump priming everything time it gets turned on. If you do not hear anything move on to the next step. Located your fuel tank and bang the bottom part where the fuel pump would sit in. Give it a few good bangs and then try starting the car. If it starts you might have a bad fuel pump!
I've got a 2014 GMC Terrain with the 2.4l engine , same issue. any idea what the part number is for my HPFP and the "one use" line as well? any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks 👍
Here are some parts numbers! Fuel line: Intermediate Fuel Feed Pipe - GM (12608374) HPF Pump: www.gmpartsoverstock.com/oem-parts/gm-high-pressure-fuel-pump-with-seal-retainer-gasket-and-bolt-12641847?c=Zz1haXItYW5kLWZ1ZWwtZGVsaXZlcnkmcz1mdWVsLXB1bXBzLWFuZC1yZWxhdGVkLWNvbXBvbmVudHMmbD0yJm49QXNzZW1ibGllcyBQYWdlJmE9Z21jJm89dGVycmFpbiZ5PTIwMTQmdD1zbGUmZT0yLTRsLWw0LWdhcw%3D%3D
Great job ..👍🏼 I saw a different UA-cam video where they were replacing the pressure pump but the guy did something with the engine where he rotated to get it to the lowest point before he put the pump back in and there's a little cup in there he pulled out and installed it on the pump before he put the pump in I see you didn't do that I don't know if you skipped it or you just didn't record it but I was wondering if that's part of the replacement because I'm going to be replacing mind and I've never done it before just wanted to make sure if it can be done either way?
Either way Is fine. If it’s your first time, Do not rotate the engine. I did not skip any steps , what you saw is what I did. The high pressure fuel pump has a spring on it that compresses against the lifter cap. The high pressure fuel pump came out one way, you’ll have to put it back in the same way it came off. When you put back the bolts make sure to tighten them in an alternating way. Make sure the pump is flat on both sides when torquing the bolts. When you tightened the pump, it will push the spring into the lifter cap , just like it was in the first place. You’ll be fine for sure. Also note: do not buy a cheap pump make sure it’s an AC delco original one!
I started working on my wife's Chevy Equinox 2010, it started with the Air mass flow Sensor, fixed that and new spark plugs with coils. Then the Brat gave me Bank one Sensor, ok changed them both, Cleaned the Throttle body like new. Now isnlike ut git worst. Nownits telling me the Fuel Pressure is to high. Code .P228D.(( Whats up with this thing. Lol... Please help... PS.. I did order the Fuel Pump, GM original so i will be changing that next.
My gf's 2012 nox threw the p0172, was doing the diesling at shutoff. I cleared the codes and it seemed to resolve itself after a few attempts and has been fine now for 500km. Do these HPFP intermittently fail? I'm assuming this is still going to cause me problems in the future.
Do you still have that slight delay when you shut the car off? Also check your dip stick smell the oil. You don’t want to have fuel mix with the oil. Eventually it will need to be replaced! It is a very common issue among the 2.4 eco engine on the equinox.
Do you need the actual GM part? I brought an aftermarket part (did not know) from A1Auto a really reliable place. The dealer was like of course you need the GM part and we sell it for $429!!!!! The part I paid for was $181 I replaced the part not the line. Did everything you did code still popped up and getting a stablitrak error on dash and low engine power. I will change the line and see if that works because they swear that was the issue and because it wasn't a GM part.
Have you tried to set any codes that come back? I used a genuine pump just to be on the safe side. Any critical parts that I replace like, water pumps, thermostats, high pressure fuel pumps, solenoid sensors I use OEM dealer parts. When I install the new pump and put it together, I had a code still popping up, but when I had reset everything the code went away and has never return since then.
@James Johnson, it’s was pretty simple. The only thing that gave me trouble was disconnecting the fuel line. Other than that the new pump, slides right in. It only goes in one way.
hi. code p0325. knock sensor 1 circuit bank. is this related to a fuel pump? instead of replacing the sensor i replaced a plug but my car still shakes when idle and stalls. should i go with replacing a fuel pump? 2012 equinox base model
No. Whatever you do “Do Not “ remove the camshaft follower. Just remove the pump. When installing the new pump. Just insert it and start off a few bolts. The pump has a stiff spring on it so it will give you slight resistance when starting the bolts. Push slightly and start two of the bolts.
Hey i have ?? My 2013 gmc terrain shuts off upon starting wether engine cold or hot and upon 2nd restart no problem,i replaced throttle body n Maf sensor still does same thing,no check engine light at all,any ideas would be apreciative, im a basic home m
Does your car shake/ shudder when idle? A little hard to tell without being there. Might be a bad fuel pump going out. Do you hear like a whining more lie a bussing noise coming from the rear? Might be a fuel issue. Could be a bad fuel pump or a high pressure fuel pump.
@@Fwerks.1592 Nope ! Once I start a second time it idles fine and rpms stay at about 900 rpms it idles fine no fluctuations and will drive fine never stalls during driving, i dont hear the hissing sound from fuel pump in tank, its got me stumped,Like I said only kicks n stalls after the first attempt of starting the car I have to turn off the ignition and then on the second try that starts fine and does not stall
Had the same code. Not sure about trim numbers. 2013 equinox was sputtering and car shut off late as you said. Replaced the HP fuel pump and it ran better and shut off correctly. I did notice I had a lot of oil in the shroud intake. I cleared codes and After driving it a while it still shows 0172 code. I assume the rings are shot. Thanks so much for video. Any suggestions?
@@Fwerks.1592 it seemed to idle better yes and had more power. Also, the eco mode is stuck on. The button obviously had something spilled on it and makes it stick when depressed but won’t shut off eco. When I removed the shroud it had a lot of oil in it. It poured out when I removed it.
@@Fwerks.1592 mine is running rich and does fine until you come to a stop. It’s then it starts hesitating on take off almost as if the motor completely shuts off and then smoke from excessive fuel comes out exhaust. Once it clears and you keep driving it does fine
I noticed in the video, he did not replace the hp fuel feed line with the yellow tag on it. Can this line be reused? the dealer is telling me i have buy a new one with the install. Problem is it is not available though.
This line has been reused. Keep in mind this is the first time this high pressure fuel pump has been removed so the line is still good! The dealer only wants to replace it because it benefits them to sell you the part. Once you start taking the same fuel line frequently, then it needs to be replaced %100. If this is the first time undoing that fuel line you should be fine. Again the pump I replaced I had no issues and no fuel leaks! I’m not saying don’t listen to the professional, but giving you my experience. I hope this helps, thanks!
hi i have a 2011 equinox 2.4 engine light was on i just had the high pressure pump replaced at a shop and they said they rebuilt it and changed the oil as there was gas in it however i drove the car for a couple weeks checked the oil and after letting it sit over night i checked the dip stick and it was dripping a bit and had gas in oil again but no engine light and runs fine fuel trim was good to on my scanner. do you think i should just buy a brand new oem pump and that will fix the problem i figure rebuild is crap
@@Fwerks.1592 no its fine i also put a acdelco brand new one in yesterday and the car ran great for about 30 mins then it started the stay running when shut off and started stalling so i put the rebuilt one back in and its fine so im thinking its normal for oil dilution in these vehicles gdi wont be buying a GM again after this
Great video. I currently have a p0172 code as well, I just changed the spark plugs and the o2 sensor and cleared the check engine light and it still came back on. I also got another one p0191 for a "fuel rail pressure sensor" before I did the spark plugs and o2 sensor. You think it's time to change my fuel pump? Also, when I turn the car off, it "diesels" for a second or two. That would most certainly come from the fuel pump, no?
Ali A., I can assure you it’s the high pressure fuel pump!!! The biggest sign for me was when I would turn the car off it would take a few seconds for the car to actually shut off. Meaning the fuel pressure pump was leaking internally and causing fuel to ignite in the cylinder chamber.
@@alia.2176 and changing the high pressure fuel pump got rid of both P0172 P0191 codes? Cuz i have that same issue as well as the delay for the car to actually shut off
Not exclusive to GM, Bosch manufactures 80% of GDI components, for all manufactures. Still better than the EA888 cam eater, (although they both have an appetite for timing chains....)
I have a P0191 code - replaced back fuel pump and fuel pressure sensor and code still there. It is also causing Stabilitrak error causing engine reduction. Is it possible the high pressure fuel pump work also cause a p0191? Not sure what else to do at this point.
Have you checked the injectors? You can use a stethoscope and hear each injectors to see if there are clicking which means they are spraying. Also check the connectors of the injectors. So we know it’s somewhat of a fuel issue. Have you checked the fuel regulator?
@@Fwerks.1592 they have changed the fuel pump in the back, fuel sensor, new exhaust manifold, new throttle body. The issue began with hearing a roaring noise but only from within the cabin. Then a week later, the code popped up along with stabilitrak and engine reduced error. All the issues happened within 2 weeks of an oil change. Is it possible that the incorrect oil could have been put in and caused this?
@@rachky734 you said it all started with a roar noise within the cabin? That sounds like a bad wheel bearing to me! Also looks like one of the front abs speed sensor went out! That can throw a stabilitrak issue!
I found the fuel pump that you recommended on Amazon, its says to order with a 12608374 fuel feed pipe? Do I only need the fuel pump? Thank you in advance
So I know this is a while after the video is posted but would this be the potential issue if my cars engine stops while driving but allows it to keep rolling
I had the same problem! When I would first start the car, it would shake after idling 5 mins. Also when I would shut the car off there will be a slight delay for the engine to shut off. It was like fuel was still getting through and burning inside the chamber.
It is not required to replace the line if you are undoing it for the first time. The material on that fuel line is soft and if removing it a couple times, then you will be forced to replace it. I’ve done a few bmw injectors before and it requires to remove all the lines for each injector. The manual clearly states replace lines after unbolting them a couple times. It’s been over a year and that Chevy equinox is running like a champ, check engine light free and leak free. I guess at the end of the day you can replace the line along with the pump that way the you know the job is well done! Or you can still get away with using the same line if it hasn’t been touched before. In my case I honestly forgot to order a new line.
@@Fwerks.1592 gm service information document id 2241763 says to replace it. the high pressure fuel pump document is 2243075 and step four says to to replace it.
It’s hard to tell not having the car in front of me. Is that the only symptom you have a reduce power? Sounds like your not getting the correct fuel pressure. Might be a faulty fuel pressure sensor. It can also be the height pressure fuel pump. Check your dipstick and get a smell sample off the oil and see if it smells like fuel.
@@Fwerks.1592 I ordered both the sensor and hpfp was gonna replace the cheapest first...but in the morning I'm definitely gonna smell the the oil to be 100! Sure...also gonna do the plugs and oil change
I happened to just buy my 2012 equinox and 3 weeks later it started sputtering and then one day it said reducing engine power shortly after cutting off on me. Looked up reasoning and it said because of bad oil or low oil. Safe to say it was just my oil. I had no oil really in tank. Rushed my vehicle to get oil change/put in so my engine light went off and reduced power off. one thing to note as a female looking for her own vehicle.(check the oil before buying (close call). I still need a fuel pump because I’m burning way too much gas and it’s having a hard time picking up speed and accelerating.
@@tperry484 I would watch the oil level every 1 thousand miles on this equinox. They tend to burn a little more oil than usual. Totally normal but unnecessary. If the oil is a little low just add some oil in between oil changes.
@Foreign Werks I appreciate that. You might not know, but when you post content like this, you're not only helping us garage mechanics, but the families that might not have the financial resources to pay a shop to do this. I hope you stay blessed.
@@itsnitz0575 if that’s what they say I don’t think it’s true. I did the work without the special tool and literally this is a plug and play part. Remove the old part and put in the new part. I have not had any issues so far!
@@Fwerks.1592 there is other videos showing removing the casing inside. Cleaning it. Then adjusting the lobe inside with the tool or finger before re installation.
Excellent video. New subscriber. I had to unplug my PCV system by removing the HP fuel pump and intake manifold. Everything installed (including a new HP fuel pump gasket w/ o-ring (o-ring broke)). Started it up, and engine shakes with check engine code -P0203-00 Cylinder 3 Injector Control Circuit with misfire (P0300-00) Any idea what might be wrong? 108K miles. (New plugs at 100K). Wiring? Leak? Slow acceleration. HP fuel pump was extremely dirty around the spring with a lot of oil and carbon I sprayed off with cleaner. Anyways.. Thanks a bunch!
Did you replace the O ring that broke?? Pull the plug on Cyl 3 and check the status of the plug. Check and make sure all your connections are properly made!
@@Fwerks.1592 Replaced the o-ring and gasket (which came as a kit). Double checked all connections. Tested #2 and 3 ignition coils with multimeter. Identical readings. Noticed that #3 spark plug is EXTREMELY dirty. (#2 was clean in comparison.) Replacing #3 spark plug- hopefully that fixes it. 🤞 If so, then I’ll replace all spark plugs so they’re identical in life.
@@Fwerks.1592 Well, that did not work. Could be timing chain (although nothing is rattling). Funny that it's only cylinder 3's spark plug that was dirty- like it had 100K miles on it. (They all only had 8K miles on them.) Wondering if oil has been leaking into #3- oil gets dirty quickly and I have to top off with a quart in between oil changes. I hate this f$%*& engine. Drove it in (with 3 cylinders firing) to my mechanic. Stay tuned... $$$$$
Well very good question! The fuel that has been leaking into the cylinder walls falls down to the oil pan. Fuel is mixed with the motor oil and that will cause your oil to be thinned out. Plus you never want fuel mix with your oil. This will decrease your oil lubrication properties inside the engine moving parts!
Bryant Natal, first off were you able to pull any codes? Remember you need 3 things to be able to start the car (Spark, Fuel & Air) It can be several things that may cause a no start. Check the battery/ starter first then move on to the fuel. Keep us posted!
@@Fwerks.1592 so I've change the starter, and sparkplug, both solenoids. While checking the fuel pressure guage under the hood no pressure is coming out. But the fuel pump clicks on
@@bryantnatal , try checking your fuses and relay to make sure they are good. Also when was the last time the fuel filter was replaced? Have tried tapping the lower bottom of the fuel tank for a few seconds and try to start it?
If you are still under warranty it should be covered, but to be on the safe side give your local dealer a call. They will be able to tell you if it’s covered or not.
This can be many things! It can be a bad fuel regular, it can be a bad fuel pressure sensor or in some cases a high pressure fuel pump. I’d get the car diagnose first before making any moves.
@Foreign Werks is the fuel pressure regulator located inside the high pressure pump? Or on the fuel rail ?? Or possibly somewhere else...Thanks for your help
@@chelseyconner4005 sorry for the late response. Great question!! I’d have to check the equinox and see where it’s located. It’s been a while since I’ve done maintenance since it’s working flawlessly lol. Do you have any symptoms?

What Chevy was thinking was they need to force their customers back to the service center for $1000 repairs. Just wait till it’s time to replace the water pump, soured me on American cars all together.
Are you referring to the low pressure fuel sensor? That one is located on the front driver side. You will need to remove the wheel and right by the steering rack you will see a purple connector that connects into the low pressure sensor!
Honestly, I don’t think that would be possible since there are small tabs that would need to be pushed in by the tool. I would suggest buy the 14$+ dollar tool and save headaches!
@@Fwerks.1592 hey man I've been able to do everything but I can't get the fuel line off I've got the tool I'm supposed to but it won't budge everytime I go to pull back on the line the tool snaps put and the line gets stuck. I'm desperate here is there anything I can do
@@darksideofthesand , try inserting the tool and also grab a rag placing it around the tool. That should give you a little more grip. Also when pushing the tool in try to rotate it slowly and try to pull apart hose.
@Olga Puentes, the sensor is all in one unit . The only way you can change the sensor is if you buy the entire pump assembly. I don’t think they sell the sensor separately.
@loganator78r you bet!! High pressure fuel pump, camshaft/ exhaust sensors, oil consumption just to name a few of them. Ohhh and let’s not forget the water pump! When that goes, shops love to charge over 1k to do the job! A failing high pressure fuel pump will allow for gas to leak down into the cylinder walls and make it down to the oil pan.
@@loganator78r how many miles does the vehicle have? The equinox I was working on barely had 72k miles. Depending on how often you drive my guess would be they can last up to 6-7 years!
@@Fwerks.1592 I just got this vehicle off of a relative with 187,000 miles and don't know the history of the thing. Might just end up replacing it but the pumps are pricey
Thank you! I appreciate all the support I can get! Also I will be putting out videos regarding this vehicle and how to replace other maintenance items. If there’s a specific thing you would like to see a repair on, feel free to drop it in the comments section!
So I just wasted money going to Jiffy Lube getting a oil change and full system cleaning fuel throttle GDI2STP when I thought from them that’s the problem. Not even two hours the “Losing Power Comes on” and then the same thing keep happening when shutting of the vehicle with the keys it stay on for seconds and kind of shakes when it cuts off. Damn I should’ve watch this video before I paid that extra money and just buy the fuel pump like your video suggested. Smh
All good now you know. Same exact issue I had the car would shake and there was a delay for the engine to come to a complete stop. Stay away from jiffy lube those places love to rip people off! It has to be your high pressure fuel pump!
You're supposed to replace that fuel line. If it doesn't leak than why? Gm also has a class action law suit because it's "acceptable" for that vehicle to burn 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. 5 quart engine, 5000 mile oil change interval. Do the math. Lol! I hope the bastards get what they deserve! I have a lady on social security in her mid 60's and just had to tell her that her truck was junk.

My friend just wanted to let you know today I installed that fuel pressure pump on the 2014 GMC terrain 2.4. no problems at all I also did purchase the original GM pump everything came out just great!! I also gave it a new oil change with the correct dexos oil, and ACDelco oil filter. thank you for your help and for your time in assisting me take care... Jose'
Awesome!! I’m glad I was able to help!
I just purchased a high-pressure fuel pump everything that you described is exactly what’s going on with my 2012 Chevy impala LTZ and I had it scanned, and one of the Codes was P0172
It may be time for a new HPF pump!
I'm getting ready to do this soon. I had a knocking noise replaced the fuel injectors went away. A week later noise back running like crap and oil smells like fuel. Great video it's saved and hopefully this will fix it!
I hope this high pressure fuel pump solves your issue!
Well?
It's a GDI engine there are no "fuel injectors".
our 2012 equinox starts and when on idle starts to like wana turn off and it does unless i press the gas ... engine light was on and i replaced the gas cap and engine light inmediately turned off.... but still when turned on and regulates down feels like it wants to turn off and it still does unless i press the gas after that it stays on normaly its a 2.4 l any tips oh and no codes come up and engine light is gone ever since i changed gas cap....... do you think its my fuel pump i have to replace just my guess
Battling this exact issues with my 2011 Regal with the 2.4 dealership wants to charge me 1100 to do it. 700 of it being the pump n feed line. Gonna keep this video handy and attempt the repair myself
Make sure that pump is OEM from GM! I seen people replace it with an after Market and still have the same issue. Also you do not need to position or remove the cam-follower. I’m here if you need help!
@@Fwerks.1592 I ordered a ac Delco one
@@Fwerks.1592 following up with you... With a sigh of relief did the pump and feed line couple days ago. My 11 regal has been running great I just put a scanner on it. To see if there was any hidden pending codes. And nothings showing 🤞🤞🤞 this battle is finally over
@@Smurfy89 That's awesome!!! I'm glad the Buick is now running great!! I'm glad I was able to help!
Thanks for sharing this video, is useful for me. I have exactly that problem. Left my like and left commercials run.
@Hugo Heredia thank you for the support! If you need any help assistance feel free to reach out to me if you encounter any issues. My email is foreignwerks15@gmail.com. I will have more videos on this vehicle in the near future!
What tool did you use to remove the fuel lines??
I used the lisle 37000. You can find these fuels disconnect tool at any Advance auto parts store.
Good video juts one thing I don’t have any of the problems like gas on the oil stuff like that but I put scan and give me p1072
Sorry for the late reply! Have you tried cleaning the mass air flow sensor? Have your tried checking the injectors? Does the car act funny or anything you notice after the check engine light?
Just changed my HP Fuel Pump and fuel line, helpful video thank you brother!!
Anytime! I’m glad I was able to help you out with this repair! We both definitely saved money!
Great video very clearly spoken great explanation
Thanks!
Good video brother. Tackling the job first thing in the morning. So special line tool plus a 17 mm line wrench are the only tools I’ll have to purchase. Thanks again I’ll keep in touch..
Thanks David's Garage!! Hope this video was helpful!
Thanks so much, they want to charge me 1500 to replace mine, I'm going to do it myself.. very informative video
Wow 1500????? That’s insane!! If you can save money and have the right tool then why not! Keep me posted!
Good video, it helped me to change my 2012 Equinox pump. Please remember too pull out and clean the cap behind the pump spring in the engine block, it can get stuck.
Good catch!!!! Thank you!
Hey where did you buy your regulator from??
i was told that needed to be replace and i was like why it wasn't really dirty or worn. I was also told that it has to go on the flatness part so rotate that shaft in there somehow and place it. I didn't see you touch it so i'm thinking is it even necessary.
@@rodscomfortblecreations8544 Yeah man the Cam - follower is the name, i was ready to just put the HPFP solo but being that it's (follower) acts like a bearing and gets worn from the bad oil and fuel it is a good time to replae -- the part number for the alignment tool is EN 48896 which you will need to place the correct depth for the follower, you will need some needle noise pliers to pull the original one out and spray down with 5w-30. They say you have to rotate the engine by hand to get the exhaust cam to be(TDC) flat on the side the follower faces. Bro Bro Growers Love, Peace.
This is my Saturday plans lol. Happy 4th of July!
@@rickystarling2863 keep me posted! Stay safe and have a good 4th of July!!
Thanks for the video. What is the specialty tool to remove the fuel line?
@Bronson Clark thank you for watching! Here is the tool you will need to disconnect the fuel line, "Lisle 3/8 Disconnect part#39420". Your local advance auto should carry them. If you need a walkthrough please don't hesitate to reach out to me! Good luck and happy wrenching!
couldn't it be fixed with just a new gasket? from what I've read it's a faulty gasket.... I also thought about using a hi-tac gasket saver to strengthen the gasket so it won't happen again... thoughts?
A gasket??? Noooooo this is definitely an internal issue that was failing. I didn’t have a leak issue. I had an issue with fuel leaking into the cylinder via the cam lifter. The spring on it wears out . Please do not use any gasket make or hi -tac gasket! Since it’s fuel it will break down quick! Use the metal gasket provided with the pump!
I replaced it ant work fine for like a month And the I have gas in my oil again any ideas? Thanks
Did you have the exact same code? Do you have a misfire code? How are your injectors?
We have to try this. The so called mechanic says thats not the issue? It wouldn't go past 25mph, the suv was stalling, the lights would not cut off after we cut the veh off. When he test drove it, he said it ran fine?? What do u think??
Sounds like you may have a bad throttle body. A bad throttle body can prevent the car from exceeding a certain speed limit. It can also cause a car to stall. Did the mechanic properly scan the vehicle?
Great video, very informative. However I see no mention of replacing the high pressure fuel line between the pump and the fuel rail. Isn't that required when changing the pump? Not throwing rocks, just asking as I'm attempting mine now and want to make sure it's right.
Good morning! It all depends on the mileage on the vehicle. It’s not required to replace the high pressure fuel line but since your are there it would be a good precautionary item to do. I did not replace the line since this was the first time undoing the hp pump/line. So the line was still good and leak free. You can only undo the line a couple times before you have to replace it.
@@Fwerks.1592 gm recommends replacing that line. but i guess in practice it is not necessary
@@truth4reel where is that stated?
So the fuel pump for these equinox’s is on the motor? It’s not in the gas tank like a lot of cars? Or is there also another pump assembly in the tank? Forgive me if these are stupid questions I’m just trying to learn so I can help my friend change hers out
So the high pressure fuel pump is on the block. The traditional pump your talking about it the sending unit. That’s always located inside the fuel tank. All vehicles have a fuel pump inside the tank and they also have a high pressure fuel pump located somewhere on the motor. No worries you’re all good bro!
Thank you for the video, Sir! I have the exact problem and P0172 code on our 2013 Terrain 2.4 and I also smell some fuel on the oil dipstick as well. I watched another video where the problem was with the Injectors and I'm not sure how I can tell if the issue is the HPFP and the Injectors or not. I guess trial and error will have to tell or just replace both. Also, I read on a Forum that you may have to set the alignment with the CAM Shaft to the new HPFP, is this true? I know we didn't see you do it but just wondering if you have any words of wisdom on that! Again, Thanks Bro!!
The high pressure fuel pump is a very common issue among the eco gm engines! Whatever you do, DO NOT mess with there lifter. I seen people rotate the engine to align the lifter to then align the new pump. After they all do they they have all these codes popping up. Just replace the pump and nothing else, I would also replace the fuel line if you can get it. When installing the pump putting it against the block will give you a little resistance. Once you line it up and start both bolts the rest is piece of cake!
Also to answer the question no it’s not true that you have to rotate the the engine to install the lifter/ cam roller. Just don’t touch it or try to put another one in there. This equinox has been running solid ever since the video and it’s been over a year lol
Mine went into stabilitrak and engine power reduced the other day. Cleaned throttle body wasn't it, bought new one wasn't it. Made it to the auto zone to use the scanner, and it said, "It's mostly likely the hpfp." i noticed it make a weird sound around where it's located.
What are all the tools need to get all the parts off? My car has been broken down for months because of the fuel pump and I can’t afford to take it into the shop
Are you handy with mechanical work? It’s not that hard just need some basic tools and the fuel discount tool. I have them listed on the description of the video.
Just wondering why you didn’t use the fuel pressure relief Schrader valve on the fuel line?
Can this cause car to go into power reduce mode
In some cases, yes. Did you scan the vehicle?
Nice video just changed fuel pump and oil. The oil smelt like gas and my equinox would run for awhile with key off. Question I just changed the oil same time as pump how long do you think I should drive it before changing oil again. Just want to make sure all the gas is gone
If you want you can go ahead and change the oil again now. For sure there shouldn’t be any gasoline left in the oil.
I just happened to be trying to pump fuel from a 2013 Equinox that has a pretty full tank because this car is just sitting for now. Disconnected the supply line before the schrader valve and connected some hose going into a container. I jumped the run crank relay but fuel pump will not stay on. Seems like a prime cycle or something. Is there an easy way to make the fuel pump run continuously? I mean, aside from crawling underneath and jumping 12v to the pump connector.
@@chad4132 why are you pump in the fuel out or trying to pump the fuel out? Are you dropping down the fuel tank?
@@Fwerks.1592 just want to pump the fuel out in order to transfer it to a vehicle that is being used. I planned on putting the car on ramps and seeing if I can get at the pump connections. If I can then I'll just jump 12v to the pump and I'll be able to get this done. But if there's an easier way, let me know.
How will I know if my pump is bad? I have no codes but I did an oil analysis and it came back more than 5% fuel dilution. Coil packs are good and spark plugs are good. Is there a test I can run to see if my pump is having issues? Thanks in advance
When the pump is on its way out, you will definitely get a check engine light. If you have access to a scanner try checking the fuel trims! How old are the spark plugs? Check the gap on those spark plugs.
Put the fuel pressure pump on crank and cut off what is the problem
Having an issue with my 2012 Equinox 3.0L where it cranks but doesn't start. Tried swapping the fuses involved and same issue, also tried battery jump pack and battery tender overnight to make sure it isn't a lack of power. I am thinking now it may be a fuel pump. Does that sound right to you? If so I may give this procedure a try.
When the key is turned you can hear it crank but it wont start.
Remember, you need fuel, spark and air for the car to be able to start. Here are a few tips to check if your fuel pump is bad or not. Have someone turn the key into “On “ position “ while someone else checks in the back underneath for a buzzing/ whining noise. That should be your fuel pump priming everything time it gets turned on. If you do not hear anything move on to the next step. Located your fuel tank and bang the bottom part where the fuel pump would sit in. Give it a few good bangs and then try starting the car. If it starts you might have a bad fuel pump!
I've got a 2014 GMC Terrain with the 2.4l engine , same issue. any idea what the part number is for my HPFP and the "one use" line as well? any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks 👍
No problem! I’ll get you that information shortly.
Here are some parts numbers!
Fuel line: Intermediate Fuel Feed Pipe - GM (12608374)

Great job ..👍🏼 I saw a different UA-cam video where they were replacing the pressure pump but the guy did something with the engine where he rotated to get it to the lowest point before he put the pump back in and there's a little cup in there he pulled out and installed it on the pump before he put the pump in I see you didn't do that I don't know if you skipped it or you just didn't record it but I was wondering if that's part of the replacement because I'm going to be replacing mind and I've never done it before just wanted to make sure if it can be done either way?
Either way Is fine. If it’s your first time, Do not rotate the engine. I did not skip any steps , what you saw is what I did. The high pressure fuel pump has a spring on it that compresses against the lifter cap. The high pressure fuel pump came out one way, you’ll have to put it back in the same way it came off. When you put back the bolts make sure to tighten them in an alternating way. Make sure the pump is flat on both sides when torquing the bolts. When you tightened the pump, it will push the spring into the lifter cap , just like it was in the first place. You’ll be fine for sure. Also note: do not buy a cheap pump make sure it’s an AC delco original one!
@@Fwerks.1592 awesome!!! I appreciate the information taking the time out to explain it to me thank you very very much I will do that 👍🏼🙌🏼

Hello I was wondering when I replace the
I started working on my wife's Chevy Equinox 2010, it started with the Air mass flow Sensor, fixed that and new spark plugs with coils. Then the Brat gave me Bank one Sensor, ok changed them both, Cleaned the Throttle body like new. Now isnlike ut git worst. Nownits telling me the Fuel Pressure is to high. Code .P228D.(( Whats up with this thing. Lol... Please help... PS.. I did order the Fuel Pump, GM original so i will be changing that next.
Do you have access to a good scanner?
My gf's 2012 nox threw the p0172, was doing the diesling at shutoff. I cleared the codes and it seemed to resolve itself after a few attempts and has been fine now for 500km. Do these HPFP intermittently fail? I'm assuming this is still going to cause me problems in the future.
Do you still have that slight delay when you shut the car off? Also check your dip stick smell the oil. You don’t want to have fuel mix with the oil. Eventually it will need to be replaced! It is a very common issue among the 2.4 eco engine on the equinox.
Do you need the actual GM part? I brought an aftermarket part (did not know) from A1Auto a really reliable place. The dealer was like of course you need the GM part and we sell it for $429!!!!! The part I paid for was $181 I replaced the part not the line. Did everything you did code still popped up and getting a stablitrak error on dash and low engine power. I will change the line and see if that works because they swear that was the issue and because it wasn't a GM part.
Have you tried to set any codes that come back? I used a genuine pump just to be on the safe side. Any critical parts that I replace like, water pumps, thermostats, high pressure fuel pumps, solenoid sensors I use OEM dealer parts. When I install the new pump and put it together, I had a code still popping up, but when I had reset everything the code went away and has never return since then.
If it’s burning a or of gas. Is that a sign to replace the fuel pump? The code popped up?
Do you have the same symptoms like I did? Th code can be a few other things as well.
Was it simple changing it out did you have to make sure the piston was n the right place
@James Johnson, it’s was pretty simple. The only thing that gave me trouble was disconnecting the fuel line. Other than that the new pump, slides right in. It only goes in one way.
hi. code p0325. knock sensor 1 circuit bank. is this related to a fuel pump? instead of replacing the sensor i replaced a plug but my car still shakes when idle and stalls. should i go with replacing a fuel pump? 2012 equinox base model
Definitely not the same! Why didn’t you replace the sensor??
I am about to try this on my 2010. I am very afraid why this is happening so would also like to know how to prevent it.
Don’t be afraid! It’s a straight forward job. As long as you can disconnect the fuel lines you should be fine!
Is it necessary to line up the cam shaft with the pump ?
No. Whatever you do “Do Not “ remove the camshaft follower. Just remove the pump. When installing the new pump. Just insert it and start off a few bolts. The pump has a stiff spring on it so it will give you slight resistance when starting the bolts. Push slightly and start two of the bolts.
Hey i have ??
My 2013 gmc terrain shuts off upon starting wether engine cold or hot and upon 2nd restart no problem,i replaced throttle body n Maf sensor still does same thing,no check engine light at all,any ideas would be apreciative, im a basic home m
Does your car shake/ shudder when idle? A little hard to tell without being there. Might be a bad fuel pump going out. Do you hear like a whining more lie a bussing noise coming from the rear? Might be a fuel issue. Could be a bad fuel pump or a high pressure fuel pump.
@@Fwerks.1592 Nope !
Once I start a second time it idles fine and rpms stay at about 900 rpms it idles fine no fluctuations and will drive fine never stalls during driving, i dont hear the hissing sound from fuel pump in tank, its got me stumped,Like I said only kicks n stalls after the first attempt of starting the car I have to turn off the ignition and then on the second try that starts fine and does not stall
Can you get the tool to remove the fuel connection at the auto parts store
Had the same code. Not sure about trim numbers. 2013 equinox was sputtering and car shut off late as you said. Replaced the HP fuel pump and it ran better and shut off correctly. I did notice I had a lot of oil in the shroud intake. I cleared codes and After driving it a while it still shows 0172 code. I assume the rings are shot. Thanks so much for video. Any suggestions?
Do you feel any difference on how the car idles?? Also did you replaced your engine oil?
@@Fwerks.1592 it seemed to idle better yes and had more power. Also, the eco mode is stuck on. The button obviously had something spilled on it and makes it stick when depressed but won’t shut off eco. When I removed the shroud it had a lot of oil in it. It poured out when I removed it.
@@coachtechchs that’s not good! You know where your oil leak is coming from?
@@Fwerks.1592 no I don’t.
What was the performance symptoms while driving? Any smoke from exhaust?
Upon start up the rpm’s where bouncing / rough idle. There was definitely no smoke coming from the tailpipe. It felt like a misfire.
@@Fwerks.1592 mine is running rich and does fine until you come to a stop. It’s then it starts hesitating on take off almost as if the motor completely shuts off and then smoke from excessive fuel comes out exhaust. Once it clears and you keep driving it does fine
@@jackfentress0281 did you scan the car?
@@Fwerks.1592 yes same code but was curious of what yours was doing
@@jackfentress0281 I wouldn’t doubt if the high pressure fuel pump is going bad. It’s a common issue in most of the eco equinox
I noticed in the video, he did not replace the hp fuel feed line with the yellow tag on it. Can this line be reused? the dealer is telling me i have buy a new one with the install. Problem is it is not available though.
This line has been reused. Keep in mind this is the first time this high pressure fuel pump has been removed so the line is still good! The dealer only wants to replace it because it benefits them to sell you the part. Once you start taking the same fuel line frequently, then it needs to be replaced %100. If this is the first time undoing that fuel line you should be fine. Again the pump I replaced I had no issues and no fuel leaks! I’m not saying don’t listen to the professional, but giving you my experience. I hope this helps, thanks!
@@Fwerks.1592 thanks for the info! I assumed that might be the case but was hesitant because there is a "national shortage" on that line I am told.
thank you so much man. saved me alot of time and money
Anytime brother! I’m glad I was able to help you save money!
My fuel trims are still negative after replacing the pump 130k miles, same code and can ran for a couple seconds after shutting it off
That’s strange, the high pressure fuel pump will cause for a delay on the car shut off. Did you use a OEM AC delco pump?
hi i have a 2011 equinox 2.4 engine light was on i just had the high pressure pump replaced at a shop and they said they rebuilt it and changed the oil as there was gas in it however i drove the car for a couple weeks checked the oil and after letting it sit over night i checked the dip stick and it was dripping a bit and had gas in oil again but no engine light and runs fine fuel trim was good to on my scanner.
do you think i should just buy a brand new oem pump and that will fix the problem i figure rebuild is crap
I would have recommended replacing the HPF pump with a new ACDelco unit. Does the car shudder at times? Is there a delay when you shut the car off?
@@Fwerks.1592 no its fine i also put a acdelco brand new one in yesterday and the car ran great for about 30 mins then it started the stay running when shut off and started stalling so i put the rebuilt one back in and its fine so im thinking its normal for oil dilution in these vehicles gdi wont be buying a GM again after this
I have 2010 chevy equinox spudders when turn off off car and second problem is radio stays on after taking key out of ignition.
great how to man appreciate ya
Thanks I appreciate you!
Great video. I currently have a p0172 code as well, I just changed the spark plugs and the o2 sensor and cleared the check engine light and it still came back on. I also got another one p0191 for a "fuel rail pressure sensor" before I did the spark plugs and o2 sensor. You think it's time to change my fuel pump? Also, when I turn the car off, it "diesels" for a second or two. That would most certainly come from the fuel pump, no?
Ali A., I can assure you it’s the high pressure fuel pump!!! The biggest sign for me was when I would turn the car off it would take a few seconds for the car to actually shut off. Meaning the fuel pressure pump was leaking internally and causing fuel to ignite in the cylinder chamber.
@@Fwerks.1592 wow that's actually crazy! Definitely time to change it, then. Thank you so much man, God bless!!! 🙏👍👍
@@alia.2176did that end up working for you?
@@zmnakokader4050 yes bro, change your fuel pump!
@@alia.2176 and changing the high pressure fuel pump got rid of both P0172
P0191 codes? Cuz i have that same issue as well as the delay for the car to actually shut off
Will this front fuel pump cause car to not start
Not exclusive to GM, Bosch manufactures 80% of GDI components, for all manufactures. Still better than the EA888 cam eater, (although they both have an appetite for timing chains....)
I have a P0191 code - replaced back fuel pump and fuel pressure sensor and code still there. It is also causing Stabilitrak error causing engine reduction. Is it possible the high pressure fuel pump work also cause a p0191? Not sure what else to do at this point.
Have you checked the injectors? You can use a stethoscope and hear each injectors to see if there are clicking which means they are spraying. Also check the connectors of the injectors. So we know it’s somewhat of a fuel issue. Have you checked the fuel regulator?
@@Fwerks.1592 they have changed the fuel pump in the back, fuel sensor, new exhaust manifold, new throttle body. The issue began with hearing a roaring noise but only from within the cabin. Then a week later, the code popped up along with stabilitrak and engine reduced error. All the issues happened within 2 weeks of an oil change. Is it possible that the incorrect oil could have been put in and caused this?
@@rachky734 you said it all started with a roar noise within the cabin? That sounds like a bad wheel bearing to me! Also looks like one of the front abs speed sensor went out! That can throw a stabilitrak issue!

So I know this is a while after the video is posted but would this be the potential issue if my cars engine stops while driving but allows it to keep rolling
Will it make the car shake also? Mines has that code but shakes when idling or when I turn it off
I had the same problem! When I would first start the car, it would shake after idling 5 mins. Also when I would shut the car off there will be a slight delay for the engine to shut off. It was like fuel was still getting through and burning inside the chamber.
I’m experiencing this

Hopefully this help car been driving me crazu
@@NinaLove777_ , I really hope that solves the issue with your car! Keep us posted!
@@Fwerks.1592 it seem to help so far so good
The intermediate fuel pump line is required to be replaced when replacing the fuel pump.
It is not required to replace the line if you are undoing it for the first time. The material on that fuel line is soft and if removing it a couple times, then you will be forced to replace it. I’ve done a few bmw injectors before and it requires to remove all the lines for each injector. The manual clearly states replace lines after unbolting them a couple times. It’s been over a year and that Chevy equinox is running like a champ, check engine light free and leak free. I guess at the end of the day you can replace the line along with the pump that way the you know the job is well done! Or you can still get away with using the same line if it hasn’t been touched before. In my case I honestly forgot to order a new line.
@@Fwerks.1592 gm service information document id 2241763 says to replace it. the high pressure fuel pump document is 2243075 and step four says to to replace it.
Would the high pressure fuel pump cause a engine power is reduced on the dash..yes I have the same codes p0172 and p0191?
It’s hard to tell not having the car in front of me. Is that the only symptom you have a reduce power? Sounds like your not getting the correct fuel pressure. Might be a faulty fuel pressure sensor. It can also be the height pressure fuel pump. Check your dipstick and get a smell sample off the oil and see if it smells like fuel.
@@Fwerks.1592 I ordered both the sensor and hpfp was gonna replace the cheapest first...but in the morning I'm definitely gonna smell the the oil to be 100! Sure...also gonna do the plugs and oil change
@@MrHowie327 good thing! Your on the right track! Starting with the cheaper item is best! I’m here if you have any further questions!
I happened to just buy my 2012 equinox and 3 weeks later it started sputtering and then one day it said reducing engine power shortly after cutting off on me. Looked up reasoning and it said because of bad oil or low oil. Safe to say it was just my oil. I had no oil really in tank. Rushed my vehicle to get oil change/put in so my engine light went off and reduced power off. one thing to note as a female looking for her own vehicle.(check the oil before buying (close call). I still need a fuel pump because I’m burning way too much gas and it’s having a hard time picking up speed and accelerating.
@@tperry484 I would watch the oil level every 1 thousand miles on this equinox. They tend to burn a little more oil than usual. Totally normal but unnecessary. If the oil is a little low just add some oil in between oil changes.

Leak? Slow acceleration. HP fuel pump was extremely dirty around the spring with a lot of oil and carbon I sprayed off with cleaner. Anyways.. Thanks a bunch!
Did you replace the O ring that broke?? Pull the plug on Cyl 3 and check the status of the plug. Check and make sure all your connections are properly made!
@@Fwerks.1592 Replaced the o-ring and gasket (which came as a kit). Double checked all connections. Tested #2 and 3 ignition coils with multimeter. Identical readings. Noticed that #3 spark plug is EXTREMELY dirty. (#2 was clean in comparison.) Replacing #3 spark plug- hopefully that fixes it. 🤞 If so, then I’ll replace all spark plugs so they’re identical in life.
@@littmus32ify awesome!!! You’re definitely getting somewhere! I really hope that fixes your problem and happy wrenching!!!!!!!
@@Fwerks.1592 Well, that did not work. Could be timing chain (although nothing is rattling). Funny that it's only cylinder 3's spark plug that was dirty- like it had 100K miles on it. (They all only had 8K miles on them.) Wondering if oil has been leaking into #3- oil gets dirty quickly and I have to top off with a quart in between oil changes. I hate this f$%*& engine. Drove it in (with 3 cylinders firing) to my mechanic. Stay tuned... $$$$$
@@littmus32ify I’m definitely following!!
How much do you think the job cost. In Chicago
I would definitely put this repair anywhere around $500- $650 is they also do an oil change. The OEM HPF pump is well over $350 just alone.
That’s not dealer price, they will probably quote you well over $1500.
What check engine light was on?
@ E V the check engine light was on for a PO172 code, system too rich bank 1.
Thanks my brother..
Why change the oil very important ?
Well very good question! The fuel that has been leaking into the cylinder walls falls down to the oil pan. Fuel is mixed with the motor oil and that will cause your oil to be thinned out. Plus you never want fuel mix with your oil. This will decrease your oil lubrication properties inside the engine moving parts!
My Chevy equinox will crank but won't start. Any idea what could be going on.
Bryant Natal, first off were you able to pull any codes? Remember you need 3 things to be able to start the car (Spark, Fuel & Air) It can be several things that may cause a no start. Check the battery/ starter first then move on to the fuel. Keep us posted!
@@Fwerks.1592 so I've change the starter, and sparkplug, both solenoids. While checking the fuel pressure guage under the hood no pressure is coming out. But the fuel pump clicks on
@@bryantnatal , try checking your fuses and relay to make sure they are good. Also when was the last time the fuel filter was replaced? Have tried tapping the lower bottom of the fuel tank for a few seconds and try to start it?
Do you know is this covered under power train warranty?
If you are still under warranty it should be covered, but to be on the safe side give your local dealer a call. They will be able to tell you if it’s covered or not.
Would this be the same issue with a p228c code (2013 equinox)?
This can be many things! It can be a bad fuel regular, it can be a bad fuel pressure sensor or in some cases a high pressure fuel pump. I’d get the car diagnose first before making any moves.
@Foreign Werks is the fuel pressure regulator located inside the high pressure pump? Or on the fuel rail ?? Or possibly somewhere else...Thanks for your help
@@chelseyconner4005 sorry for the late response. Great question!! I’d have to check the equinox and see where it’s located. It’s been a while since I’ve done maintenance since it’s working flawlessly lol. Do you have any symptoms?
What’s the special tool to remove fuel line
Here it is! It’s the 3/8 blue connector.

@@Fwerks.1592 I noticed in the video, he did not replace the hp fuel feed line with the yellow tag on it. Can this line be reused? the dealer is telling me i have buy a new one with the install. Problem is it is not available though.
What is the special tool called?
It’s the fuel line disconnect tool made by lisle part #39400
What Chevy was thinking was they need to force their customers back to the service center for $1000 repairs. Just wait till it’s time to replace the water pump, soured me on American cars all together.
GM has a big problem! What are they thinking when assembling these cars from the factory!
Great video!
@Larry Roberts thank you!!
Thank you 🇺🇸
Where would low pressure be located?
Are you referring to the low pressure fuel sensor? That one is located on the front driver side. You will need to remove the wheel and right by the steering rack you will see a purple connector that connects into the low pressure sensor!
@@Fwerks.1592 yes thank you
@@CTANDTSR anytime!
Are you able to remove the feul line without the special tool?
Honestly, I don’t think that would be possible since there are small tabs that would need to be pushed in by the tool. I would suggest buy the 14$+ dollar tool and save headaches!
@@Fwerks.1592 sounds good just picked one up. I assume I just clip it onto the line and push it into the fitting to disconnect it.
@@darksideofthesand , if you need any assistance feel free to email!
@@Fwerks.1592 hey man I've been able to do everything but I can't get the fuel line off I've got the tool I'm supposed to but it won't budge everytime I go to pull back on the line the tool snaps put and the line gets stuck. I'm desperate here is there anything I can do
@@darksideofthesand , try inserting the tool and also grab a rag placing it around the tool. That should give you a little more grip. Also when pushing the tool in try to rotate it slowly and try to pull apart hose.
Is it necessary to change the sensor as well?
@Olga Puentes, the sensor is all in one unit . The only way you can change the sensor is if you buy the entire pump assembly. I don’t think they sell the sensor separately.
Thank you I appreciate the quickness
Helpful video. !
Thank chris silveyra!
Are these fuelpumps on the 2.4l know for leaking gas into the oil/crankcase?
@loganator78r you bet!! High pressure fuel pump, camshaft/ exhaust sensors, oil consumption just to name a few of them. Ohhh and let’s not forget the water pump! When that goes, shops love to charge over 1k to do the job! A failing high pressure fuel pump will allow for gas to leak down into the cylinder walls and make it down to the oil pan.
@@Fwerks.1592 how often do you need to change it? I don't have a code or issue with it shutting off but I think my oil has a hint of gas smell
@@loganator78r how many miles does the vehicle have? The equinox I was working on barely had 72k miles. Depending on how often you drive my guess would be they can last up to 6-7 years!
@@Fwerks.1592 I just got this vehicle off of a relative with 187,000 miles and don't know the history of the thing. Might just end up replacing it but the pumps are pricey
@@loganator78r they can be expensive! Just be on the look out for when the check engine light goes on.
Thanks for the info great video
Thank you! I appreciate all the support I can get! Also I will be putting out videos regarding this vehicle and how to replace other maintenance items. If there’s a specific thing you would like to see a repair on, feel free to drop it in the comments section!
So I just wasted money going to Jiffy Lube getting a oil change and full system cleaning fuel throttle GDI2STP when I thought from them that’s the problem. Not even two hours the “Losing Power Comes on” and then the same thing keep happening when shutting of the vehicle with the keys it stay on for seconds and kind of shakes when it cuts off. Damn I should’ve watch this video before I paid that extra money and just buy the fuel pump like your video suggested. Smh
All good now you know. Same exact issue I had the car would shake and there was a delay for the engine to come to a complete stop. Stay away from jiffy lube those places love to rip people off! It has to be your high pressure fuel pump!
Thank you! Chevy tried to charge me $1700 for this lol. 😅
Wow!!!!!!!! That’s what the dealers are charging now?? That’s insane!!
What size is the special fuel line disconnect tool?
It’s the 3/8” size. If you get the ac/ fuel disconnect set ,it will be the blue one.
It's nice ..very nice 😊😊😊
Thank you!
hello I just did that and it doesn't work my car throws code p0171 and misifire3? do you know the solution?
First off did you have the exact same symptoms? When you turned your car off would it be slow to shut off?
@@Fwerks.1592 Yes, but I didn't change the oil. That could affect it? smells like gasoline
@UCeZxh2fW04Ld7RY6TmXgEHw sorry I mean p0172
Did you plug all the connectors?
@@Fwerks.1592 yes
Does anyone have one for a 08 trailblazer 3.0
You're supposed to replace that fuel line. If it doesn't leak than why? Gm also has a class action law suit because it's "acceptable" for that vehicle to burn 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. 5 quart engine, 5000 mile oil change interval. Do the math. Lol! I hope the bastards get what they deserve! I have a lady on social security in her mid 60's and just had to tell her that her truck was junk.
Sounds like thr exhausted manifold is crapcked
Nope, it was the rusted flex pipe that was replaced making that noise!
@@Fwerks.1592 Hello I have a 2011 that it shut off when waiting for a green light sometimes after at home or when I turn on the vehicle runs for like 10- 20 seconds then stall and die, no engine light, I look on Google for possible causes and says possible fuel pump or ignition switch, on any idea what might be
I really appreciate your help, Thanks in advance
@@tow4-459 let me ask you a question. When it stalls, does it crank back up when you turn the engine back on?
@@Fwerks.1592 Yes and start right away , I noticed that when the car warm up it works good, if I left the car sitting for 1 to 2 hours I need to warm the car again, also I noticed that on the freeway over 70 or 75 mph it was doing the same, like fuel cut off
@@Fwerks.1592 sorry for the delay
wat about the rattling sound?
That rattling sound is not part of the repair. I did mention that rattling is coming from the flex pipe!
