How to change fuel pump on a 98 Pontiac sunfire

disconnect the electrical connections and fuel lines and vent lines at the tank then disconnect the fuel filler hose from the tank. support the tank then undo the fuel tank straps then lower the tank down to the ground. be careful as the tank will be heavy depending on how much gas is in it. clean the area around the sending unit. there is a lock ring that holds the sending unit assembly in the tank that needs to be removed then you can pull out the unit. at the bottom of the sending unit is the fuel filter. follow the instructions that came with the new fuel pump.

I have Sonata 2002 and my machanic told me there is no replaceble fule filter.But i search and found it is inside the tank.My car has 16000 milage on dash and can somebody suggest me what to do for fuel...

it is about time to replace the fuel filter at 16k miles.
You have to disconnect the whole fuel pump-sending unit module from underneath the rear passenger seat, empty the fuel line by starting the engine with the fuel pump disconnected till it stalls, disconnect fuel lines to and from the fuel filter (which you located), remove filter from its holder, replace it, re attach fuel lines, re connect fuel pump module, and you should be good to go. A final word of advice: whenever working with fuel, disconnect your car battery. Also after doing this procedure check for any fuel leaks while the engine is running.

After replacing in tank fuel pump & sendind unit, in line fuel filter, truck still not getting gas

Your ecu is most likely the problem if it is bad it wont send power to the fuel pump. You can check it by turning on the ignition then listen for noise coming from fuel tank. You should be able to hear the fuel pump come on.

2005 Dodge Dakota V8 4.7L, 4X4, engine light on, code P0452 . Where is the fuel pressure sensor located?

  1. The Fuel Level Sending Unit, or Fuel Level Sensor, is located in your gas tank with the Fuel Pump Module. The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is attached to the side of the fuel pump module. The sending unit consists of a float, an arm, and a variable resistor track (card).
  2. The Fuel Pressure Regulator is located within fuel pump module. The fuel pressure regulator controls fuel system pressure. The PCM cannot detect a clogged fuel pump inlet filter, clogged in-line fuel filter, or a pinched fuel supply or return line. However, these could result in a rich or lean condition causing the PCM to store an oxygen sensor or fuel system diagnostic trouble code.
Both of these sensors are connected with the Fuel Pump Module. Here is a diagram:
