Also just completed other major maintenance on the 1995- new plugs, valve cover gaskets, fuel and water pump, belts, idler pulley bearings, hoses, thermostat, fluid change. Appears to have been the first work done on the engine. Also, cleaned all the electrical connectors, throttle body and plenum, installed new foam rubber around the radiator and a tranny cooler and relocated the carbon canister. I just reverse flushed the fuel and external tranny filter because I didn't have a spare on hand. Has anyone tried filling the fuel filter with injector cleaner as a cheap substitute for a FI service?

So far so good except for the fuel gauge. I know I saved myself a ton of aggravation and expense by doing it myself.
Inside of valve covers looked super clean and should be good for another 70k?

I'll try to post some pics if I can figure out how.

And yea you have to be careful with the sending unit, they break easily, I broke one my self because I was rushing it on the 1991 Q45 part car I had, Luckily the fuel pump survived.

Remove and steam clean tank then reinstall.

Here's a closeup of the plastic piece with the float arm removed for clarity.

90 Q45 Base 249,000 miles . . It just keeps going, and going, and going.......

I change fuel filters every 6 months now and am amazed at the amount of dirt in so called premium gasoline.

Rust in tank means you purchased water and caused many problems with injectors and fuel pump.

I was having a hard time removing the pump because the ring is very tight. I just can't dislodge it. I'd already visited several threads discussing like this one, replacing fuel pump assembly. But still I can't remove the ring.

Thats imposible are you sure you have a Q45?

Was the OEM O-ring used?

You want this one!

Sounds like a PO may have used RTV adhesive in the o-ring mating surface to seal a leak? (Which is great if you're going to the moon but not so good if it ever has to come apart again)

Still don't know what kind of car Teppy has, but it must not be a Nissan if he is using that website.

In the fuel tank in the trunk. Just pull out the forward trunk carpeting bulkhead and it's all right there.

If you remove the parcel compartment and the big black bracket that supports the keyless entry module (along with the reciever) you get a lot more room to move. I had no trouble removing and replacing the pump assembly without damaging the float/arm with those things removed even with the tank still in the car.
