Its in the petrol tank, you will have to go through the boot to get it out

ok I'll try to explain to you without picture...

1.open the boot.

under you battry, more likely directly under the fuse box.

there should be a Gray square panel with 4 screws... - if you unscrew them that's the access into the fuel tank. (I believe fuel tank is kidney shaped).

and if you pull put white cap - it will contain long cylinder instrument and HEAPS of WIRES!!! yes in the fuel tank!! wires.

Please be careful and DO NOT UN-DO (unplug) black horse - its fuel line - one for IN and ONE FOR OUT (returning back to fuel tank) - be very careful cuz if you just unplug them it will SPEW out all the fuels. not good.

sorry about da gramatical and spelling mistake

BTW what is the problem? is your fuel (Tank) sensor broken?

cheers

MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT BATTARY BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!!!

and TURN ON head light so that you get rid off all the remaining statics in the car!!!

and if you want to fiddle with this bits and you jgot no idea then you should ask some one to help you!!

thanks for the reply glue...

well the problem is, the car was working fine... then the next thing i knew the thing wont start... had a mechanic look at it and he say it cud be the fuel pump, had other stuff checked out and they are all fine... what happends is u turn the ignition the engine turns but doesnt stay running, there is fuel in the tank (about last quarter) but when u hear the engine it sound like there is no fuel, it'll turn the engine but then it dies, and i dont hear the usual liquid gushing sound (not sure if u'll know what i mean) when u turn the key to the ignition point.... so next thing to check out is the fuel pump....

anyone else have any ideas what it might be???? the car just wouldnt start, there was nothing indicating anything was wrong... she was sweet, it just sounds like i got no fuel

thanks again for the info....

will check it soon as i have the time

peace

to check the pump, get some one to turn the ignition key on, while you lightly kink the fuel hose in the engine bay, if it pressurises and tries to unkink itself its fine, dont mess around in the tank for no reason. Also you should be able to hear it, stick ur head in the boot or under the back of the car and listen for it as someone else turns the ignition on.

yeah have a good listen and make sure the little relay which regulates the speed of your pump is working, mines broken so my pump runs flat stick all the time, but yeah if it's broke then your pump might not run at all

[ninjadust]

thanks for the heads up guys...

NA_R33: yeh iv been trying to hear that sound ur referring to but i cant hear it at all....

thats y i wanted to take the pump out to see if its working order.... i will also do that hose pressurething u are talking about. thanks
