Thank you SO much for making this! It is great to find someone who makes a video that covers the little details, doesn't skip anything, isn't confusing in any area, AND doesn't ramble on about unnecessary crap or aggravate people with repetitiveness. You definitely won a new subscriber
Excellent instructional video! I'm confident I can do this now. The dealership wants $1k to do a new fuel pump. I'm going to try replacing myself. Thanks
Thanks Had a hard time getting the ring off.I was tempted to go get a bigger hammer.. Kept tapping on it. Suddenly it came loose. Had to keep turning on the switch about 12 times. Ran a little rough for a little bit then smoothed out. Thanks again.
Went to a mechanic and was quoted $714 to get this fixed. The pump they was going to charge me for was $550 plus labor. Went to autozone and bought one for $250. It looks really easy to fix and will do it in the next few days. Will save me a butt load of money.
Took me 2 hours to fix this. The ring didn’t budge after an hour of just tapping it so I had to turn the heat up and hit with more aggression. Finally It budged after 5 minutes with harder hammering.
Thank you for your video. Replaced fuel pump unit on 05 Altima 3.5. patience is key. Rough time removing unit from tank. Not mention keep the fuel line and other line out of the way while doing so. Recommend using ventilator mask as fumes were pungent. Thanks 👍
I was quoted $520 to replace mine. After seeing this, im sure I can do it myself. Thanks so much ffor the great how to vid! I'll let you know how it goes.
It was not as easy as you made it look. However, I barely replace my own wipers so with no experience I will say it went well. The hardest part was the lock ring. My daughter assisted me and neither of us could get it to slide. We both tried, this way and that way, different angles, etc... We decided to pry it off with the flat head screwdriver. Just the little metal slot parts. Then lifted the ring off. Took out the old pump, inserted the new one. The old one didn't have the little clip thing so I slid it on as far as I couldthinking it would be fine. It wasn't. I went to a friend's. The gas smell was so strong I almost passed out. But the friend tightened it using a zip tie. He said the ring was fine. And so it is. It starts and drives and that was the goal. Success.
Great video. Did the job today and you showed exactly what needed to be done. All went smoothly. Went with a Bosch replacement and new seal. Started right up. Thanks for the help.
Very well done. A different site had 4 8mm bolts holding the pump down. I didn't want to get to whaling at anything, so finding this was very useful. Thank you.
Just did this on my moms nissan...took me one hour and saved us 200$ thanks bud your vids are on point, im a vw vintage guy i drive a 73 type3 square but you have saved us lots of $$ with your knowledge 🙏🙏
Great video. My 2006's fuel pump died on the road, the night before vacation. I had it towed to a shop, they charged $292 for a delphi pump module, and 2.5 hours labor @ $95/hr. $552 out the door. Being out of town my options were limited, but 2.5 hours seems excessive after watching this vid.
My fuel pump is working fine, but the sending unit isn't showing the correct amount of fuel in the tank. Is it possible to repair the sending unit instead of replacing the entire fuel pump? I know you guys want to sell parts, but if I can fix the sending unit without replacing the entire thing, I'd like to do that. This video makes this a lot easier than I was thinking it was going to be.
Great vid!...I'm going to be changing out my gas filter/pump in my 2004 3.5 Maxima. Can the gas filter/pump be purchased at any auto parts store? Or do only Nissan dealers have the parts?
yea im glad u mentioned to use pliers on those four plastic tabs to take the cap off cause if u use a philips that cheap plastic would prolly just mess up
wow great video my mechanic told me my fuel pump is fine but I'll need to replace the assembly housing but I have no clue what it looks like or part number for my nissan altima 2001 GXE. I kinda do after searching junkyard and looking at the pics I think it's part 17042-4B00A
Yeah You’re right it would’ve really sucked because I don’t have a garage it’s cold as shit where I live and it’s Super Bowl weekend so thanks again man
Wow! A well made video!! I still remember having to drop the tank on my '87 S-10 Blazer and also my Olds Cutlass Ciera. I currently have a 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5....I do most of my own work on this car. Love it. One question...For this car what are the indications if the fuel pump is going or if it's shot? I know the car won't run :>) Also do you know how to change a sensor in my shift assembly....Some times I have to jiggle the shifter while in park to start the car. It doesn't happen all the time just on occasion. Thank you in advance for your help. And this video!
Any idea on how to remove the fuel pump relay please? - The fuse panel (gray) is positioned vertically inside the black box on the passernger side next to the coolant reservoir, which needs to be slided out in order to have access to the relay, however, it won't slide out!! What gives? At this point, I have no idea whether the relay is shut, or the pump module itself. Thank You,
Thank you so much but one thing, Please give me your permission is Please no need to use a hammer to hit for removing the ring around to keep the Fuel pump down... you only need to press down the pump then remove the ring very easy.
TIP: After using a hammer and a screwdriver to get the ring off with great difficulty, I finally got it off but putting the ring back on with the hammer and a screwdriver was even harder. I got my air chisel out and it went on super fast at 100 psi.
Thanks for the video, I have a 2006 Altima 4 cylinder. For quite a awhile sometimes it would take longer to start usually when the car was used during the day, in other wards on a cold morning start i had no starting issues, so I just lived with the sometimes longer starting times ( usually I would just shut the key off and turn key to run position for a couple seconds and then it would start right up. But the other day i was at a stop light and the car surged as though it was stalling but regained immediately and ran fine for a few more days. then once again at a light it stalled for 1 second but regained again and then my service engine soon light came on. My questions are , is there a fuel filter for this car and is it possible i have a weak fuel pump? i have not read the codes yet. I still can get the car running but yesterday was much worst getting it started. I have the car sitting now. 2006 85,000 miles well kept car in hot Florida. Thank you for your time.
Is there a way to diagnose the fuel pump electrically? The car cranks but no start. Not sure if it's the fuel pump or something else causing the problem.
My car won't crank at all anymore..it was at 1 point but not anymore. Was told it might be that the FUEL PUMP has gon out & if that's the case I'm going to be sure to watch THIS video to try to install it MYSELF rather than having it did by a mechanic...I had 1 question though: u said AFTER taking out the 15 Amp fuse from under the hood to CRANK THE CAR to bleed off the FUEL PRESSURE...what if the car WONT actually crank...do I need to just SWITCH it ON/OFF a few times instead????
Hello Sir, I have Altima 2006, and recently i encounter an issue that the engine suddenly stops by itself and when i start again, it turns on the fuel warning light. Although the fuel tank is full. Then after few ingnitions the engine starts again. What could be the possible reasons? Could it be fuel pump issue or the gas getting accumulated in the tank? Thats what he said. Waiting for ur response. Thank you
Hello there, Nissan Altima 2002 2.5 I have a critical question. I can't do a normal start on the car. Takes 12-16-20 times. And I hear a detonation, smells gas, its not a normal strong start, it's rather weak and bumpy. The throtle body was wet around butterfly intake. I have a p0300 code. Some dude checked the gas pump & said pressure is good. I have no clue what I have to fix/replace??!! HELP!!
Some things are less complicated while other things like changing the headlights is a pain in the butt. This fix looks easier than what I had to do to change my cars headlight.
... I'm not sure this applies to all Altimas 🤔 I'm working on a 2003 Nissan Altima, and it has a large plastic ring which hold the fuel pump in place. The large plastic ring is screwed on, and the fuel pump only has one fuel line attached to it. Not two fuel lines. it's a 2.5L 4 cylinder S model 4dr Sedan. 🏈
I installed a used fuel pump but my issue now is the fuel gauge reads the incorrect amount of gas in the tank. Even after putting more gas in the tank, the needle still reads less than the amount applied.
How to Automotive Yes when I first installed the fuel pump, it was working fine. Took a few weeks later for the fuel gauge to start reading inaccurate. Theres gas in the tank. Will I still be able to drive the car even though the guage reads E?
I wasn’t hearing my fuel pump turn on after checking fuse and relay which were still good so I Installed fuel pump on my 2006 Nissan Altima following the video instructions and car still won’t start and but I hear the fuel pump turn on now 🚨 please help🚨
Papa John and the merky water Band fuel pumps cost no more than 200 for a new one, and that is still pretty high, so put that in perspective when they tell you a price of about 800 dollars or so
Thanks for this very straightforward, no b.s. or fluff video. You explained everything perfectly and gave me the confidence to tackle this job myself.
Thank you SO much for making this! It is great to find someone who makes a video that covers the little details, doesn't skip anything, isn't confusing in any area, AND doesn't ramble on about unnecessary crap or aggravate people with repetitiveness. You definitely won a new subscriber

Daniel Ryan you got this 👍🏻 that’s some big saving got a love that. Thank you for watching!
how did it go?
Considering it's a pretty noninvasive job, that's asinine to ask $1k.
Thanks for this video. I replaced mine in my 06 by following your steps. I saved myself money by just buying the part and doing the labor myself
What symptoms did you have prior to changing the pump?
I just did my today, it was very easy with your instructions.
Thank you so much for helping me to save a ton of money. 👍
Thanks Had a hard time getting the ring off.I was tempted to go get a bigger hammer.. Kept tapping on it. Suddenly it came loose. Had to keep turning on the switch about 12 times. Ran a little rough for a little bit then smoothed out. Thanks again.

Perfect! Step by Step. Did exactly like in video for 2007 Maxima and no problems. Less than 30 min! Thanks
Montorom Williams Glad the video helped out thank you for watching!
Cool i have 2005 maxima and i hope this works im ordering a pump and going to try this.
Great video. Did the job today and you showed exactly what needed to be done. All went smoothly. Went with a Bosch replacement and new seal. Started right up. Thanks for the help.
Thank you! My first ever fuel pump replacement and it didn't take nearly as long as the video explaining it. BEST video I've used in a while.
Glad it was a success. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much, this is gonna save me a lot of money. 😁
Very well done. A different site had 4 8mm bolts holding the pump down. I didn't want to get to whaling at anything, so finding this was very useful. Thank you.

jason shelton awesome glad the video help you save some money. I’m an air cooled fan as well. Particularly like the Corvair’s.
I just did mine! Piece of cake….hardest part was getting clip off old fuel line, i didnt want to break it..Thanks
Auto Zone had several choices. I chose the Bosch. It didn't have a new seal but the old seal looked good. The float was on the pump.
Great video. My 2006's fuel pump died on the road, the night before vacation. I had it towed to a shop, they charged $292 for a delphi pump module, and 2.5 hours labor @ $95/hr. $552 out the door. Being out of town my options were limited, but 2.5 hours seems excessive after watching this vid.
Most repair shops drop the tank, and clean it before installing new pumps.
My 05 wont start and I think it is this. So, this guy just got my sub, great video. I hope this fixes why my car wont start lol.
Did it do the trick?
thank you so much. without your youtube, it will be a challenge for me.
Any tips on getting the metal ring off? I’ve put oil on it, hit it from all directions. It moves a little bit gets stuck and won’t budge.
Thanks a million, walked me right thru the process like a Pro
I agree with the above comments. You make it seemed easy. Thanks for sharing ur skills.
My fuel pump is working fine, but the sending unit isn't showing the correct amount of fuel in the tank. Is it possible to repair the sending unit instead of replacing the entire fuel pump? I know you guys want to sell parts, but if I can fix the sending unit without replacing the entire thing, I'd like to do that. This video makes this a lot easier than I was thinking it was going to be.
I was wondering the same thing. The only thing I see is you have to change the whole pump it looks like.
Great vid!...I'm going to be changing out my gas filter/pump in my 2004 3.5 Maxima. Can the gas filter/pump be purchased at any auto parts store? Or do only Nissan dealers have the parts?
Sir, you are a great teacher.
Great video im gonna change my fuel pump on my altima soon
Great video! Absolutely love fuel pumps on cars rather than trucks and suvs.
Top notch instructional video. Thank you!
Great video Brian. Appreciate your time and knowledge.
Helped me install my fuel pump
yea im glad u mentioned to use pliers on those four plastic tabs to take the cap off cause if u use a philips that cheap plastic would prolly just mess up
Thanks for your great instructions
Year 2021 Month of June about to follow this video advice! Yes Sir!
Hi I have a 2013 Altima was wondering how this would be done Thanks.
William Holleman did it really go out that early?
Aiden Abdella not really it ended up being the crank sensor
wow great video my mechanic told me my fuel pump is fine but I'll need to replace the assembly housing but I have no clue what it looks like or part number for my nissan altima 2001 GXE. I kinda do after searching junkyard and looking at the pics I think it's part 17042-4B00A
Best how to Ive seen, Thank you.
Thank you! Did everything go smooth for you?
Well explained, good job!!!
George S. Thank you!
Life is so expensive and knowing what it takes gives an idea.
Wow I was ready to drop my tank thank god for your video
That would’ve sucked. Thank you for watching!
Yeah You’re right it would’ve really sucked because I don’t have a garage it’s cold as shit where I live and it’s Super Bowl weekend so thanks again man

@@HowtoAutomotiveYes yes and yes. Your video is priceless service "pay it forward" millions times over. Thank you.
Bk Suntzu Glad it went smooth 👍🏻 thank you for watching!
Do you know if the fuel pump is in the same place for most Nissan vehicles? I have a 2006 Nissan Primera which I suspect needs a new fuel pump.
crackpea why don’t you lift up the seat and check?
Is the location the same for the SE-R ?
Hombre I’m pretty sure it is
gracias; las especificaciones muy bien detalladas; en el desarollo del video; bendiciones
Wish there was a video for an 04 2.5s. How to do injectors! lol, I think I need to do mine, but I've read it could be the pump.
Thanks for your services information
Great video !! Thanks sir!
Thank you so much but one thing, Please give me your permission is Please no need to use a hammer to hit for removing the ring around to keep the Fuel pump down... you only need to press down the pump then remove the ring very easy.

Do you have a video of how to change the thermostat and nissan altima 3.5 2005 ???
Thank you so much
Is it same for maxima?
Yeah same for maxima.. they have the same vq engine.. 02-06 altima 3.5 and 2.5 also maxima 04-08 same thing
Do you have a video on how to remove a fuel tank on a 05 Altima coupe?
thank you
ive been looking for the fuel filter and searching in google nonody could provide where is it located?
This cost me 900 dollars. Next time im doing this myself. Unbelievable
Hopefully you won’t need to do it again.
Seriously when your car messes up its earier to fix then ppl think.i did this a few times on cars takes 10 to 15 minutes
Gonna attempt to do mines today
Great video! Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Great video. Thanks

Is there a way to diagnose the fuel pump electrically? The car cranks but no start. Not sure if it's the fuel pump or something else causing the problem.
Patrick Huffman did you ever find put was it your fuel pump on having that same problem
Check if you have gas. Happened to me where fuel pump was damaged and i didnt know i didnt have any gas
We just ended up replacing the fuel pump.
@@redwings1037 well thats good, you got rid of the known problem
Patrick Huffman so it was the fuel pump
My car won't crank at all anymore..it was at 1 point but not anymore.

Hey! Was your fuel pump a 1 port or 2 port? For this car
Could you please tell me how to check the fuel pressure on a 2.5 liter engine Nissan Altima 2008 model? I believe the pressure supposed to be 51 PSI

Thank you!
I wish mini coopers are as less complicated as these cars.
Some things are less complicated while other things like changing the headlights is a pain in the butt. This fix looks easier than what I had to do to change my cars headlight.
Is it the same for the 3.5 SL V6?
Does this car have a fuel pressure regulator separate from the fuel pump assembly. ?
Will this part work with California emissions?
scott henry as far as I know there’s no difference between federal and California missions.
California Emission Nissan Altima has a single fuel line port so I believe it is a different part
Excelente vídeo bien explicado
If full gage is not correct would replacing full pump takes care of it
05 altima. Is the Fuel filter under the hood. I want to replace the filter.
Is this process similar for a Nissan Quest?
I have nissan maxima is this tye same for 2005 maxima? The engine looks the same
hello good morning sorry my car Nissan Altima 2006 turns on and off does not last long on what would be the problem thanks
... I'm not sure this applies to all Altimas 🤔 I'm working on a 2003 Nissan Altima, and it has a large plastic ring which hold the fuel pump in place. The large plastic ring is screwed on, and the fuel pump only has one fuel line attached to it. Not two fuel lines.
it's a 2.5L 4 cylinder S model 4dr Sedan. 🏈
I installed a used fuel pump but my issue now is the fuel gauge reads the incorrect amount of gas in the tank. Even after putting more gas in the tank, the needle still reads less than the amount applied.
RicoSuaVe was it working before? If it was then the new Pump and sending unit is bad.
How to Automotive Yes when I first installed the fuel pump, it was working fine. Took a few weeks later for the fuel gauge to start reading inaccurate. Theres gas in the tank. Will I still be able to drive the car even though the guage reads E?
How to Automotive hi I have a question were it's the fuel filter located?
jorge martinez it’s built into the fuel pump.
Is the fuel filter inside of the fuel pump?
.. Yes 🤔
Replaced the fuel pump, car still won't start 😢 what else could it be? Sounds like it wants to start. Just won't click all the way over
Thanks.
Rafael Panuco thank you for watching!
Gracias amigo
Felix Torres thank you for watching!
I just disconnect the battery and open the the gas cap , before I get started
What about the fuel filter where is it located.?
... it's supposedly located in the fuel pump, along with the fuel line pressure regulator. That's my understanding 🤔
Where is the filter. It's inside the pump.
I wasn’t hearing my fuel pump turn on after checking fuse and relay which were still good so I Installed fuel pump on my 2006 Nissan Altima following the video instructions and car still won’t start and but I hear the fuel pump turn on now 🚨 please help🚨
...did you solve you problem? 🤔
My car stalls with half gas tank can fuel pump be the problem
JUST JOSE the only way to tell is to test the fuel pressure when it is happening.
👍
How much would you charge someone for this job
Papa John and the merky water Band fuel pumps cost no more than 200 for a new one, and that is still pretty high, so put that in perspective when they tell you a price of about 800 dollars or so
