Can you get to the fuel pump by taking the rear seat out or do I have to lower the tank?

You have to lower the tank (after you disconnect the negative battery terminal)

Thanks. I appreciate the response.

Bad fuel pressure regulator or bad fuel pump, obstruction in the fuel line.

A similar issue happened to me when I owned a 1985 Camry. the car would start up and idle but if I put it in gear or if I would try to rev the engine the car engine would die. it would start right up though.:shakehead

after replacing many, many,many parts on it :frown: I was in the process of replacing the fuel pump and discovered the electronic fuel pump had a 99% clogged fuel strainer/filter on it.
once I replaced the filter/strainer the problem solved. I had to drop the gas tank to get at the electronic fuel pump. no access to it by removing the back seat.:banghead: Hopefully you won't have to drop the gas tank. What a PITA job that was.:frown:


Good luck with your car.
