so i guess my fuel pump went out cause my car wont start. its like about to turn over but when i try to give it gas it dies out so i disconnected one of the lines to try and see if gas would shoot out or anything but no luck and another thing that made me assume it is the pump is that usasually theres that sound eright before tyou start the engine i think its the fuel pump pumping gas. there was no sound of it working anymore so yeah how do you change the fuel pump????

Lrgfreak47,your fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, you can access your fuel pump through your trunk. Go to tech pages,air intake and fuel delivery,s13 installing walbro fuel pump.This should help. Make sure you disconnect your neg.battery cable before starting your removal,don't need any sparks around that open tank.Good Luck!By the way this would be a good time to check that fuel filter, if you haven't done that yet.

Also check any fuses or relays for the fuel pump.

Good point Ish! Why didn't I think of that? I guess two heads ARE better than one. Especially when one of them is mine! lol. By the way lrgfreak,that fuse mentioned by Ish is in the engine compartment near the battery.

and if you change your fuel filter, why not go with a Z32 filter? they are supposed to be higher flow and you can just use the same mount.

I've got a working s13 fuel pump if you need one. Also have a slightly used z32 fuel filter (not pictured). $30 shipped for both.

this is going to sound silly but it happens, make sure you have the new fuel filter installed properly with the flow. typically the flat end faces up. could cause it to idle weird if it's not getting adequate fuel supply.
