First --run the fault codes
problems causing excessive fuel are
heated oxygen sensor in exhaust manifold/s failed
blocked cat converter
maf/vaf sensor
dirty air filter
ambient air temp/Baro sensor problem
cam shaft servo faulty and not advancing cam timing

Which fuse or relay does the MAF run off plz in a 2003 hyundai terrecan petrol v6

I don't know but if you check the wiring diagram I believe you will find the mass airflow sensor is connected to the engine management computer and derives the power it needs from there; therefore it isn't fused separately and any fuses in the circuit are those providing power to the engine management computer.

My hyhundai terrecan wont start unless i use quick start to start it then it will run fine.

Use a scan tool to check the temperature sensor reading,if the computer does not know the engine is cold it will not enrich the mixture for starting.

How to change fuel pump in a 2004 bmw x3 3.0

You must remove the fuel tank to replace the fuel pump. This is no fun without a car lift and much heavy equipment is needed and a good amount of car repair knowledge and a full set of hand tools. If you have none or very little of the listed things then leave it to and expert.. DONOT USE ANY TOOLS THAT CAN SPARK.

How do you replace a fuel pump on a 2004 trailblazer

undo all the fuel lines and vacuum lines, electrical connectors to the fuel tank. undo the fuel filler tube at the tank. support the gas tank as it will be heavy depending on how gas is in it. undo the fuel tank straps and lower the tank. clean the area around the sending unit of dirt and remove the lock ring that holds the sending unit into the tank then you can remove the sending unit to replace the pump. follow the instructions that came with the new pump. don`t use a used pump and change the fuel filter.
