toolsandtime.com here's a short clip on a service call I got, 2004 Chevy cavalier Fuel pump, couldn't spend too much time on it however I hope it helps
My dad and I wanted to say Thanks for your great instructions. We replaced the fuel pump in my 2003 Cavalier yesterday. My dad knew kinda how to do it, but I made sure he watched your video to make sure we were on the right track. It was very helpfull! Daniel and Randy Anderson Peoria, AZ
I have an 04 cavalier been sitting for a year and a half, got it to fire up won’t stay running, not getting fuel, have to flush the fuel system and put in a new fuel pump. Thank you so much for this video, mine is far more rusted than this, I’ll let you know how it goes.
Your video was top notch. I am a novice mechanic but i was able to change out a 2003 cavalier pump with no issues. The post above talked about the anti friction pads so I did have to pry the tank but everything else was spot on. Symptoms were car died while wife was driving. I could turn key but never heard pump kick on. Fuses good so pulled tank. New pump and filter was 298.00 at Oreilly in Hot Springs Arkansas. Again thanks for the post.....gave me the inspiration
Hands down best mechanic video I have seen on UA-cam. Starting with diagnosis and other possible causes before taking out the tank has probably saved some people lots of time and money while giving comprehensive step by step instructions with helpful tips has saved others frustration, time, and busted knuckles. Thank you for your time and effort to make and upload this video. Shame on anyone who posts any negative comments. This guy made this to help others out of the kindness of his heart, while you are simply an ungrateful POS. I for one appreciate how much easier this video made my life so I will give it a thumbs up and subscribe to his channel to show my support. Keep up the good work and know that there are people out there who are grateful for what you have done for the good of us all.
Thank you for the positive feedback and kind words, i appreciate all the support. as you noticed there will always be someone to try and drag others down with negativity instead of simple suggestions if they have found an easier way or what not that would be beneficial, there was a time when i would let negative comments or thumbs downs get to me, i have since learned to let it go and focus my attention on the ones who appreciate what im trying to do like yourself :) thanks again

Thank you so much for your time and explanation. Even though this video is fairly old. I just watched it today as of 9/5/2017 and found exactly the information I was searching for. You did an excellent job of describing your process and methods. I will certainly subscribe!
Thanks for contacting me with the info and further repair video. People dont seem to want to hear what it takes to fix their shite. Even if you are saving them trouble. Having your well explained step by step video is a godsend. In the case of the car I was trying to help, access was gained beneath the seat cushion. the car was way out in the woods. It had to be at a certain temp. alum wire conn at that floor pump supp. conn. was poor contact. video shows it with red safety snap hanging
Wiring diagram part is interesting. Kind of ironic you post this video. We ended up on a 17 hour round trip in an '88 Chevy 1500 truck that required a roadside fuel pump (actually entire tank/fuel pump assembly) job over the last weekend, long story, but pretty simple job and made it home just fine. Keep up the good videos...
@000030stephen thank you. glad you liked it, i will work on some troubleshooting vids, i feel electrical is my strong point, not just in automotive, im a industrial mechanic as well, and work with 480v on a daily basis, not as user friendly, however we use low voltage to control the high, therefore there is allot of control circuits, including relays, timers,controllers,PLC's all the things involved to automate equipment, so when it comes to electrical troubleshooting, i love it :)
thanks for clearly showing which hose off the pump is the evap hose. nothing in the haynes manual i can find showing what any of the three are. thank goodness for small favors. keep up the good work
@2JDT4 yes there is. the new plug comes with a pinout diagram. you will need to wire it according to the diagram. it's pretty straightforward. the 2 black conductors are different gauges. if I remember correctly the other 2 were pretty close to the same colors. however just follow the new diagram that comes with a new plug
Just completed a fuel pump replacement on a 02 cavalier. 1. To remove the relay, the blue lock bar must be pried out towards the fender 2. The relay block is labeled on the side, next to the fender (A is closer to the fender, B is closer to the engine.) 3. Under the car the gray power wire was in C, black/white ground was in B 4. Run 12 volts from battery directly to gray wire just to make sure the pump is bad. 5. Plug in new pump first using the connectors to make sure it turns on.
you mentioning the part about problems with corrosion, a few weeks before my 04 cavalier stopped running I would have it on cruise and the cruise would kick itself off for no reason. sometimes i could get it to come right back on and other times it would not. also RIGHT before the car "chugged" out on me the low traction light came on and when I started up a hill and pressed the gas it started cutting off, backed it down to 3rd, felt it kick in pressed gas and it cut off for good.
@MillerFootball A double cheese burger at McDonald's is $1 the description says it all... i did recommend the fuel filter to be replaced, however they were capable of doing that. my job was to diagnose and fix the no start.
Thank you VERY much for this vid! Getting ready to do a friends car and had NO clue. Now I'm fairly confident I do this with ease. Please, Keep up the good work!
Quick question if you don't mind great video I just wanted to ask you if the sending unit isn't showing any voltage in the positive pin what does that mean I need a new sending unit? because my fuel pumps not working and I wasn't getting any readings from the harness at the top or a plugged into the fuel pump so I went to the stores and still nothing at the sending unit any ideas and again thanks for everything
Thanks for the video but the one thing that you forgot to mention was the fact that the fuel tank has anti vibration stickers on it and when i followed your video everything went smooth until i dropped both tank straps and the gas tank didnt come down due to the anti vibration stickers :)
@zloben9000 thank you, yea believe me i wanted too. this was on a Sunday. i recommended to change the fuel filter while we were there, easy enough, when i got there all i had was the new fuel pump to work with, and no parts stores near that were open, so i just did what i could with what i had to get him going, i ran into him the other day, he assured me he changed the fuel filter the following weekend and the car is running great, this is his daughters car
I know this is an old video an all but, Im hoping for a response anyway. I have a 2002 cavalier and while watching your vid I noticed that little panle with the 3 plugs. I'm curious what those are for I was recently under mine also trying to figure out some serious idle issues, I noticed that one of the connection was just hanging and had 1 broke wire. The plug has 2 wires red and white says A B C D , only C&D are used. With the letters PED 13 at the bottom and for the life of me can not figure out what the **** its for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thumbs up on the wire splice -- soldered connections. One long-life improvement you may want to think about and/or try. As I'm sure you know, most would probably just use crimp barrel connectors. However, corrosion usually does such types of repair in over the long run. Plus, corrosion gets under the wire insulation and begins the long cancerous death of the creeping green crud. I usually use two sleeves of heat shrink, one over the first. But, before the first tube of heat shrink, I apply a little liquid wire insulation to the solder joint and where the bare wire meets its insulation. This provides just a little more protection against moisture invasion.
I had the same problem with my Cavalier (fuel pump not running even though the relay was working) This is a great to the point video and did give me some good ideas. But my problem turned out to be different and I'm only commenting about it in case it may help someone else. My fuel pump was not running even though the relay was clicking in and transferring power to the pump. Without going into all the things I tried and tested I'll cut to the chase. I found the ground wire between the battery and the chassis was bad (The ground to the motor was still good) No chassis ground and most things on the car still worked including the engine cranking and the dashboard, but the fuel pump did not. I hope this helps someone.
I also had my share of frustrations with my 03. I replaced the pump once only to have the same problem develop again later on. I tested the original pump on the bench (naturally, after I had already done all the hard work) and found it to work just fine. The real problem was the inline connector near the right rear strut area. There was poor connectivity on the 12v to pump terminal. I wound up modding that one pinout in the connector block and it worked flawlessly after that. Nice work, GM. One problem among MANY on that poc.
@littleelvisofMA that was the estimate from the other repair shop including labor, that's the resin why he had it towed for me to do the job. and for the price you gave split that in half my cost, you will find if you don't do the work yourself, labor is what jacks the price,
@qaz3000 it should work just fine, weather or not it will keep up with continued use is another issue, however for regular use it should be fine, if you dont mind, im starting a forum on my website, toolsandtime if you don't mind stop over to the forum register its free, and post your question there, im there more than here and can answers questions sooner, and others can give there input. i will put a link in the video description to the site.
Great vid. the wiring diagram explanation was a big help! My issue is on a 2000 cavalier with 2.2L: when i turn the key on I can hear the pump cycle for a few seconds then turns off (assume that is normal) but zero fuel pressure, I checked at the fuel injector inlet with nothing attached to the line and no fuel flow, so i disconected line at the fuel filter inlet and connected pressure gauge there and zero pressure. The car has 1/4 tank of fuel.Can a pump run and still be bad? Thanx !
I own a 2004 Chevy Cavalier. The engine light continues to display even after a new fuel tank and replacement of some kind of vacuum part. I have spent nearly $1200 to solve the engine light issue. However, the light still displays--Check Engine. Any ideas about why the light continues to display?
i just did the same install on a 2003 sunfire same thing .. my question to you is .. after i put it back it started right up ...... i came home and let the car run for a few mins . i wen tin the house the car was running i came out i smelled fule real bad . the car was off the house came off insure if it was the blue or green on i need to cheak it out tommarow ... you ever heard of this with the newer kind of fule line locks they are useing?
the oem connectors is what i am referring to when i say melted... the connection blackens at the pump top below the pump modules cover. since yours is obviously an update lets see your part numbers and tell me please where you buy this part. alot of folks are spending thousands and this may be the definitive answer
Thanks for the video it was very informative especially about the range of the charges because I was going to charge a lot less for same repair, dont worry I'm going to be fair , just a lil fairer to me! If I could use the fairer
I have a 2004 chevy cavalier eco fuel pump went out we disconnected the lines and the straps it is plastic tank and removed the screws and the tank wont budge are we missing something to get the tank off
Hello , I have a question about air compressor I have a huge 80 gallong 3 cylinder oil belt driven 17cfm air compressor. I bought a nice Ingersoll Rand ti-max 1/2 impact wrench they stated the tool needed 5 cfm to run. But now that I recived it in the real owners manual they state it needs like 24 cfm to run ! When I bought my air compressor I choose the biggest one there was so I would be sure this never happened. Will my compressor be able to run properly my impact wrench ? Thanks a lot !!
You may not feel comfortable answering, but am I correct in thinking that the DKGRN/WHT wire going to B19 would take a switch to make a basic anti-theft?
I have a 2003 cavalier. Driving home yesterday, started to lose power when i pushed on the gas, the car then died on me. I tried starting the car, plenty of crank power, it would start briefly, sputter and then die again. Can i take off the hose on the gas filter on the engine side of the filter and try starting the car to see if the fuel pump is working correctly, meaning to see if fuel shoots out? What other possible issue do you think it could be?
the connections are inadequate, the connectors melt, the same connection happens again just below inside tank under pump module top cover. what part are you using? it looks way different
What should this fuel pump repair cost? My son was going to do his own, but he couldn't get the bolts off the straps. He towed it to a garage and they charged $600. $175 labor and $389 for parts.
My girlfriends fuel pump just went out on her a few days ago at 124k miles. Luckily a friend of mine since high school has the know how to do it or we would of been shit out of luck.
5150of33supporters i know it's a bit late but yes it has double sided tape that holds it in place and reduce vibration. Took me an hour to break it free.
Also make sure nobody siphoned the gas out of it I know a guy that bought a fuel pump and got the tank all the way down before he realized some body stole the gas out of it
Robinson, I enjoy your video's and I would like to ask you a question on a 2002 yukon 5.3. On the pcv valve is that pressed into the left valve cover? their isn't a gromet. This is a fixed type of a pcv. How do you service this?? Jim
+Kelly Willis You did the work yourself? One thing I noticed is the fuel sending FLOAT is taped to the body of the pump. You may have forgotten to remove that tape so it's stuck up.
updated part tsb re uses the old stuff car has new parts and issue persists. when cold. unsafe late at night to find car wont start after closing 30 miles from her home. 03 cav similar issue. still goes inop after bumps and cold soak. everything tests good but connector inside is made of same flimsy, heat reactive ,plastic, problematic crap!!!!!!
Most likely something was either wired wrong or the sending unit in the tank is stuck or failed. I would bring it back to him, it should work as it had prior to repair. Something went wrong In The process

Thank you very much Sir! I recently did my 1999 Jeep and half the pain was knowing where everything you needed to remove was. Thanks for the tour!

Son, I followed your very instructions and I have replaced my fuel pump!! You are on point, keep up the good work!!
i give you credit for that one, you saved the man some cash.
could have changed the fuel filter but its still a great job.

@cwjarvis3 take your time, safety first keep in mind your working with gas, other than that its a pretty easy job

This is the best explanation of checking the FP relay/feed circuit that I've seen. It was exactly what I was looking for - great job!

tnx big help 🔧🔩🔨📚👍!
Liked the trouble shoot part, makes it very clear how to isolate the problem, thanks.
Thank you VERY much for this vid! Getting ready to do a friends car and had NO clue. Now I'm fairly confident I do this with ease. Please, Keep up the good work!
@klc317 sounds like my luck, what an adventure glad you got it straitened out, thanks for the coment
@jboydmv90 thanks, this was done at a customers garage, wish my floors were that clean, i do keep them clean as possible though

Can you do this without messing with the wiring harness? Im not good at electrical work.
hi can you put a short video on how you specifically connected the connections to the new fuel pump wires.. something like a diagram or something?
Question for you when you did your fuel pump replacement did the fuel pump turned on made a buzz sound even though was fried
You sir, are an inspiration.
how do you remove the evap line? please respond soon
I know this is an old video an all but, Im hoping for a response anyway. I have a 2002 cavalier and while watching your vid I noticed that little panle with the 3 plugs.

Thumbs up on the wire splice -- soldered connections.
One long-life improvement you may want to think about and/or try. As I'm sure you know, most would probably just use crimp barrel connectors. However, corrosion usually does such types of repair in over the long run. Plus, corrosion gets under the wire insulation and begins the long cancerous death of the creeping green crud.
I usually use two sleeves of heat shrink, one over the first. But, before the first tube of heat shrink, I apply a little liquid wire insulation to the solder joint and where the bare wire meets its insulation. This provides just a little more protection against moisture invasion.

help need those part#s for updated connector and pump u used
thanks, nice video I don't know much about electrical but I love and wish to learn.
So keep them coming please...
Thanks for the video it was very informative especially about the range of the charges because I was going to charge a lot less for same repair, dont worry I'm going to be fair , just a lil fairer to me! If I could use the fairer
@abdulhakim06 your welcome
@klswvu in some cases its great therefore, in these cases i will try and add more troubleshooting,
I have a 2004 chevy cavalier eco fuel pump went out we disconnected the lines and the straps it is plastic tank and removed the screws and the tank wont budge are we missing something to get the tank off
Hello , I have a question about air compressor I have a huge 80 gallong 3 cylinder oil belt driven 17cfm air compressor. I bought a nice Ingersoll Rand ti-max 1/2 impact wrench they stated the tool needed 5 cfm to run. But now that I recived it in the real owners manual they state it needs like 24 cfm to run ! When I bought my air compressor I choose the biggest one there was so I would be sure this never happened. Will my compressor be able to run properly my impact wrench ? Thanks a lot !!
Thx, I wanted to know where everything was before I started hunting a pesky evap leak.
is there a specific way to put those 4 wires that come with the new fuel pump? (the purple grey and 2 black wires)
It looks like you connect the black and purple wire together and the other black wire is left hanging. Is that what you did?
how did that ebay pump work out for you
were did you find that wire chart
You may not feel comfortable answering, but am I correct in thinking that the DKGRN/WHT wire going to B19 would take a switch to make a basic anti-theft?
I have a 2003 cavalier. Driving home yesterday, started to lose power when i pushed on the gas, the car then died on me. I tried starting the car, plenty of crank power, it would start briefly, sputter and then die again. Can i take off the hose on the gas filter on the engine side of the filter and try starting the car to see if the fuel pump is working correctly, meaning to see if fuel shoots out? What other possible issue do you think it could be?
my 04 Chevy cavalier not start it just worked when i pulled in at home and when i was going to go to the store and it will not turn over please help.
the connections are inadequate, the connectors melt, the same connection happens again just below inside tank under pump module top cover. what part are you using? it looks way different
i cant get the fuel tank off still. can someone help me plz
Great video. Very informative.
What did you replace the drilled out rivets with ? Thanks for the video. Going to do this today. GOOD TIMES :/
What should this fuel pump repair cost? My son was going to do his own, but he couldn't get the bolts off the straps. He towed it to a garage and they charged $600. $175 labor and $389 for parts.

This is great but my tank should fall out by now. I swear it's like super glued in. God dam it give me a diesel truck
5150of33supporters i know it's a bit late but yes it has double sided tape that holds it in place and reduce vibration. Took me an hour to break it free.
Did the rear A bar get in the way?
Also make sure nobody siphoned the gas out of it I know a guy that bought a fuel pump and got the tank all the way down before he realized some body stole the gas out of it
What's the best fuel pump i can buy for my 2001 Cavalier?
Robinson, I enjoy your video's and I would like to ask you a question on a 2002 yukon 5.3. On the pcv valve is that pressed into the left valve cover? their isn't a gromet. This is a fixed type of a pcv. How do you service this?? Jim
My fuel gauge is stuck on full now I know there isn't a full tank did I do something wrong for it to not move at all anymore
+Kelly Willis You did the work yourself? One thing I noticed is the fuel sending FLOAT is taped to the body of the pump. You may have forgotten to remove that tape so it's stuck up.
Guess I'm spending $800
what did you do with that shield????
My 69' takes less than 5 minutes lol, no lifts or dropping the tank. Ahh things were built good back then.
What software or program do you use to get those schematics? I really enjoy your videos.
Where did u get that schematic software???
updated part tsb re uses the old stuff car has new parts and issue persists. when cold. unsafe late at night to find car wont start after closing 30 miles from her home. 03 cav similar issue. still goes inop after bumps and cold soak. everything tests good but connector inside is made of same flimsy, heat reactive ,plastic, problematic crap!!!!!!
at 6:08 theres a bolt he could have took out
I'm a tech I do like 50 GM fuel pumps a year no big surprize PS I do that job in 30 mins on a lift
a guy just put a new fuel pump in my car the fuel gauge it's all the way over where the heat gauge is located what is the fix?
was it working prior?
yes it was
Most likely something was either wired wrong or the sending unit in the tank is stuck or failed. I would bring it back to him, it should work as it had prior to repair. Something went wrong In The process
thank you!!
Your welcome, if he don't make good on the repair then feel free to contact me, I will help in anyway I can
Great video Will, and ughhhh. GM fuel pumps.
this is an easy job
60000 miles and its the same color. i think gm uses chinese fuel pumps
Therefore
