You should be able to hear a hum at least.

Did you try a continuity test of the pump itself? I haven't heard of one burning out but you never know.

Also there is a fuel filter on the end of the pump you should replace if you're going in there.

To remove the rear seat cushion on my 2007 hatchback, I looked under and found two large white plastic clip heads that could be squeezed just so to allow them, and the seat cushion, to lift up away from the frame. Then exposing all bolts to remove the seat entirely. (No adhesive encountered, but not saying there never was any on this cushion.)
(Seat is one piece back type. One piece bottom, belts for 3 passengers)

Potentially messy, but could one not just disconnect the fuel rail and see if gas is flowing there?

Yeah you could just pump it into a bucket. You just need the tool to disconnect the line.

So can you now hear the fuel pump activating? To be honest, I can't say as I've ever taken note of any fuel pump "sounds" coming from mine. No idea what it should be sounding like. Maybe one day I'll try to listen for it.

Excellent!

Bluevitz-rs · 10-08-2016, 04:52 PM

Awesome. Glad you were able to fix it yourself too.

Even buying a tool I'd HOPEFULLY only have to use once, I think I came out WAY ahead. $266.78 (RockAuto) for the pump (including expedited shipping) and $42 for the tool (sourced locally). One major chain store had the pump @ $400! Can't IMAGINE what going to a professional shop would have cost.

Now I just need to build my confidence by taking it for a drive.

On a side note, I'm curious as to if the weak pump affected fuel economy. Time will tell.

Yup. I could hear it before I put the seat cushion and metal cover on & the car running. Also, occasionally, it will cycle quickly when I put the key in the "ON" position. Not all the time though. Guessing there is a pressure sensor that lets the pump know if it needs to pressurize the fuel system?

I think the first thing I would check is if it is getting spark at the plugs.
