The fuel pump is located in the gas tank.

You will need to remove the sending unit at the top of the tank.

To access the sending unit, you will need to drop the tank by removing the straps. It is a big tank, so drain as much as possible, and don't forget to disconnect the battery before you start.

Hope this helps.

probably by the fresh air hose the one that hooks to the throttle body.

If it is a stock radio it is most likely done. The life of any radio is good if it lasted 10 years, time to up grade to new.

replace your fuel filter, and air filter ! you mean your fuel pump turns on , correct ? how do you know this for sure ? check all fuses, and especially GROUNDS ! ground wires get overlooked , and they should'nt . without them, you got nothing !!! tune-up lately ? replace spark plugs & wires ! distributor cap & rotor . oil change lately ? do it ! spark plug wires get old, hard, and crack, causing them to short out ! check all vacuum lines, if you have a throttlebody, tighten the mounting bolts, they do get loose !

could be the torque converter staying locked up and the emissions are the only reason for the light to come on , there could be other mmalfunctions will set with out a light ,but the torque converter clutch could lock up and cause the engine to stall while slowing down . get that checked out first .

Look at the wiring harness that runs to your tail light fixture. make sure that the harness connections have not loosened. check harness casing and bulb iixtures for breaks or corrosion... sounds like you have a short going on. with the light switch on, try wiggling the wiring where it goes into the fixture. if the light flickers at all while doing this you have a short going on in the fixture and it may need to be replaced.

The brake light and tail light are on two different circuits.They can use the same bulb if it is a double filament.You probably have something wrong with the light socket or the ground connection.

hi tina you should probably check the fuses

I want to know how to set point

Wow, that's different. There are only a few things left to try. To keep from buying unneeded parts first try bleeding this way one more time.Do the longest brakeline first, then next longest, until you work your way to the shortest line. Then try it.Now for a difference when starting the engine, your Brake booster is working. You should have a Reserve of Vacuum in the booster for at least one pedal depression. If you don't, the Booster valve or Booster Bladder is bad. The Booster valve is relatively cheap. Test the booster bladder; you do not want to use a chemical. With the engine running, some people will use a torch propane tank with a rubber hose on it to direct propane around the Brake booster. The propane will cause the engine RPM to change indicating a bad bladder. Propane is safe in small amounts and was used to set air/mix in the early days of Pollution control.The Master cylinder could have pulled in sediment when the old parts were removed from the system. Now it is hanging up.For bleeding brakes there are different methods. I prefer to draw fluid with a hand Vacuum pump like a Mighty Vac. The advantages are it is less messy and far more controllable. Pumping a defective Master cylinder may not work for you. Power bleeding with a Canister and Master cylinder cap adapter will be better than relying on the Master cylinder alone. Gravity bleeding works, but may not work with a bad Master cylinder leaking more fluid in one chamber than the other.Check for hose twists in the rubber lines you replaced. The ridges on the hoses should be parallel when you hang the caliper.Please rate my info and let me know the final solution.

posibly afuse or flat batery

Not unusual for fuel pumps to begin to fail once they are heated up from running. First thing in the morning pump is cool, then as you drive, it heats up and begins to lose pressure. After sitting a 1/2hr-1hr, it may start again and run fine for a short time and start to act up again. Had similar problem and found good fuel pressure when tank and pump cool, but lost pressure once vehicle driven a distance and pump heated up. The hotter the weather, the shorter the distance I could drive. If you can somehow set it up to have fuel pressure checked when it starts to act up, that would certainly help confirm if fuel pressure is the culprit.

the engine temperature sensor is located on top of ur thermostatic valve housing
