That happened when I was doing computer repairs all the time. Or "it only took an hour to fix, so I only have to pay what I think is worth an hour" ... when it could have taken 5.

Advice: While you have the gas tank dropped, take a second and check your filler neck gasket/grommet. On most Mustangs in the 1994-2004 range, you have to drop the gas tank to change that gasket. Save yourself the time and check/replace it while you're doing the pump. That way you don't have to drop the gas tank a second time like I had to. The grommet is located at the base of the filler neck. It's a rubber donut on the side of the gas tank. Driving around with a failed filler neck grommet will prevent you from getting any more than half a tank of gas; the rest will spill out. You will literally dump fuel out of your tank when you take a hard left turn. If you choose to replace it, make sure get the right one. The grommets are separated by year ranges: 1981-1997, 1998, and 1999-2004. You read that right. The grommet for 1998 Mustangs is exclusive to only 1998 Mustangs. It will not fit a 1999 nor a 1997. Thanks for the video, Chris. Got a cheap 1998 Mustang from a friend. It wouldn't start and had sat for 3 years. A few hours and a new fuel pump later, it started right up.

I wish I had read this when I was doing work on my car. Although it is a 1977 LTD, it does have one of those filler neck grommets. I had to get a new gas tank for the car, but it didn't come with one of those grommets and I thought it would be fine. As soon as I filled it up to the top, it starting leaking. I probably lost $30 of gas just because of that. Now i'm gonna have to drop the tank again pretty soon.. :(

You’re a great teacher, Chris. Even though my 97 Malibu is slightly different, you gave me some good pointers, like marking the mileage on the filter, and the pre-tests. Long story short, I couldn’t change my filter because the disconnect was bent inside, so I cut the fuel line thinking I could repair it - I was wrong. Dropping the tank like you did was way easier than trying to heat & fix the line, only for it to leak tragically. The good news is that a fuel filter change quote was $60, but a new pump assembly with all new fuel lines cost $100 - so all in all it was only a $40 mistake, plus the old pump works fine and while it’s out I’ll have the time to learn how to make a new fuel line & have a spare fuel pump ready to go if I need it. The experience of changing the pump is worth even more, and in many ways. Thanks, Chris!

ChrisFix - Thanks Chris, My car’s back on the road. I considered cutting a hatch while the tank was down but decided against it. If anything goes wrong, I’d prefer any leaking fuel and fumes to remain outside of the car. This was a brutal job, and I did it in the cold, but I did it right & it’s done. Suggestion for Christmas this year: a professional pneumatic factory hose clamp plier tool. Best tool I ever owned. Removed the vapor canister and made the whole job easier. Replaced a burst coolant hose last summer in minutes flat. Great tool.

Chris we have learnt so many things from you. We really appreciate your efforts. This is one of the few videos where you replace the actual fuel pump as most videos just show changing the entire assembly. For the price sensitive DIYer or small garage this is a very critical thing to know that you can change just the fuel pump motor and save some money if it is only the pump that has failed.

As someone who is looking for a mustang around this model year range to have a project car, thank you for the work you put into these videos. You make it seem so simple and break it down in a way that anyone can understand. Keep up the good work!

I love that you use hand tools so that people at home don't feel intimidated by the process and think that they need a bunch of fancy (and expensive) power tools. Great video! Luckily I can get to my tank and pump just behind my rear seats. It's essentially the same pump as the drift stang, but has a different connector. I've changed it a few times, trying to find the best one for my car. A little bit more GPR/LPH ended up giving me more power over the stock pump, since it's a return style system and doesn't waste fuel.

+ChrisFix also I think you're the nicest youtuber out there, I mean you have more than one million subs, and you still reply to people's comments, that's a rare thing to see these days :D

Word of advice: some 4th gen mustangs have no EVAP sensor. If you're replacing the whole assembly, make sure you know which one to get. My friend got the wrong one and we had to re-pin the plug on the pump harness to make it work.

I had to do this project on an old Saturn a few months back. Great video. One more diagnostic thing you can do, if your pump isn't running but you're getting power, is get under the car and smack the bottom of the tank with a hammer. Sometimes this gets the pump to run for a bit. My Saturn didn't have a hole in the floor for the fuel pump, and everyone was telling me to cut a hole in the floor to change it - I say that's a bad idea. The tank is so absurdly easy to remove, cutting a hole in the floor would be MORE work in many cases. Lastly, in the case of my car, there was a rubber hose about 10" long that attached the tank to the filler tube, and it was easier to remove that rubber tube than it would have been to remove the entire filler tube. Whatever the case, as Chris says, don't be intimidated, look at how your car goes together, and get it done.

Love the video, makes the fix look simple and straight forward, unwraps the mystery. Bravo millions of Thanks.

Love your videos! They are so helpful, organized, and loaded with important info. Thank you so much!

I replace the fuel pump today in my daughter's 1999 Mustang! Thanks for the very informative video. Although, I think the fuel float is stuck. Dammit! Guess I'll pull it apart again.

Bless your soul your vid gave me the confidence to replace my own pump rather than pay a mechanic $630 to do this simple repair

I love how all your videos are so meticulously done. So informative!!! Love watching you channel!!!

Your videos are gold. So on point with great details. So my Mustang died on me, and no pressure in gas pedal at all. Started but died right off. Quick google search gave me options of fuel pump or MAFS failure. Your video confirmed that it wasn't a fuel pump because mine hummed. So next I was to check the MAFS. You can't believe what I found in my MAFS tube, big WD40 bottle 😱😱😱. Rest assured, after removing the bottle, the car started right away. I got my waterpump changed 2 weeks ago in a shop A. I don't see how they would have left that under the engine filter cover, since the waterpump change would not require removing that cover, but who knows. And prior that the car was in a shop B where it was maintained (filters, spark plugs etc) 7-8 months ago. At the time they did leave a tool under my hood and I had to go back, since the called looking for a tool and that for sure I was never returning to that shop B. So thinking that it's more likely that they left that bottle there too. What would be the chances that I get left items under my cars hood 2 times out of 2 visits in different car shops. But could that bottle really be sitting there so long without causing any problems!? Crazy...

I cant be the only one who got happy when the engine started

I seriously LOVE watching you ChrisFix! I swear that "like" button doesn't do you justice. You should have your very own "love" button lol. Oh and Congrats on 1M subscribers! Keep up the phenomenal work :)

hey Chris I appreciate how much work you put into your videos

I like the way you put the video together. Real informative and energetic. This should help me with my 2004 Honda Odyssey pump problem.

Another great video Chris! NB Miata owners be aware the relay under dash just above gas pedal (green in color) doesnt switch on until key is in START position so won’t hear pump humming until then! Just replaced mine today

I wish it was this easy in my Camaro. Have to remove the exhaust, the driveshaft and lower the sub-frame just to drop the gas tank :/

About as bad engineering as Nissans newer design for their spark plugs lol

All I wanted to learn was how to properly change my rotors. Here I am. Many hours later looking up all his videos because they are exactly how they should be done. I say beyond 10/10 rate. 👍🏽

Over all this was a great video and you showed a couple of troubleshooting tips I didn't know about. There were also a couple of problems with this video. 1st, Never lift a fuel tank with just a floor jack. I learned this lesson the hard way. Just like a transmission, the fuel tank can be damaged when using a regular floor jack. Either use a piece of plywood or a transmission jack. I dropped my tank on an old GMC Sierra to replace my fuel pump using a floor jack. After that I was replacing the pump every 3-6 months. I also started having weird fuel supply issues. ~$1,200 later I found out why. Many fuel tanks have baffles spot welded inside the tank. Lifting the tank with a floor jack bowed the tank sufficiently to break one or more welds. After that, the motion of the gasoline broke whatever remained of the welds and then the baffle was constantly hammering away at the fuel pump. There is no way to safely and legally weld a fuel tank. It has to be replaced. I was fortunate to get a good used one for about $100. 2nd, always check the tank seal. If the seal is not good then you will not reach and/or maintain proper fuel pressure. This becomes a serious issue if you live in a state with strict emission control laws.

One recommendation when checking fuel pressure its nice to just lay the gauge on the windshield. My 93 vette had a similar problem with the fuel lines and it always helped to be able to watch while also listening.

1:12 Chris is so slick he basically opens the book to the right chapter lol

1999-2004 Mustangs have the fuel relay inside the CCRM. So check the fuse for the CCRM also! It is located in the engine bay fuse box labelled: F.14 (CCRM) 20AMP. The CCRM lives behind the passenger side fender. It's a small box with the fuel relay inside of it. You might be able to put your ear to the fender and listen for a click. A click doesn't mean it works ok, a click just means it receiving and handing the 12 volts OK. A true test would be a resistance test on the other two pins on the relay Hope it helps others! Great video! I watched it back in 2016, now im watching it again as my pump went out 4 years later haha!

I know nothing about auto repair. But I love your videos.

I swapped my ignition fuse and now my 05 starts again. Look for fuses that are clearly blown

I think that is something that is specific to this generation of Mustang, and it very much looks to me, from the way the fuel tank is moulded, that there is normally a plastic undershield that would cover over that area so the connection would not normally be accessible. I suspect Chris had already removed it for brevity in the video with it being a general guide to diagnosis and repair rather than something specific to this type of car. I must admit, though, when I saw that I did have a bit of a chuckle to myself as having the fuel pump wiring like that would (I'm fairly certain) be against the construction and use regulations for cars in the vast majority of Europe, though it also has to be said that the vast majority of European cars manufactured since 1990 have the fuel tank mounted in front of the rear axle so it is effectively within the passenger safety cage of the vehicle to minimise the risk of the tank bursting in a rear-end impact...

Smitty Smith I must admit, I do find the idea of people going around disconnecting Mustang fuel pumps just for the hell of it rather funny...

chrisfix always delivers.. sure he may make things look easier than they end up being for YOUR particular car, but the troubleshooting tips are worth the time to learn alone. now gotta go find my fuel pressure gauge...

your videos are class. thank you :) im a female and you have demystified all of these inner workings of cars for me. straightforward videos, you never skip parts or go off topic. i have adhd also and i can totally watch all your videos without skipping any parts or being distracted. i dont think i'll be working on my car, but it's good for me to know when i take it to the mechanic. :) thank you again :)

Those actually aren't "quick disconnect" fittings. They're quick connect fittings. Disconnecting them takes significantly more work than connecting them. They're meant for quick assembly at the factory. With the right tools, they take less time than threaded fittings but sometimes dirt and road crud can get up in there and cause all kinds of hell.

I used to be in the habit of calling them that, until I had a real troublesome one on an early 90's Ford. They're the kind of thing that can take a fun and cheap preventative maintenance item job into a torturous hell that you regret embarking on :) Anyway, enjoyed the video and thanks for being thorough in testing the other possibilities rather than throwing a pump on it and hoping.

i would be too if I picked up a cheap mustang for what seemed like an easy fix. fuel pumps in the tanks are daunting though

Good video, different on a IRS car with a returnless system but close enough. Also a great time to relocate the battery to the trunk while the tank is down. Tackling this project tomorrow with a 300lph Walbro drop in assembly on a 2000 GT swapped to IRS.

Just for the record, his comment about the rust, how the lack of it makes this so much easier, it's so true
