Fuel pump location '97GT and Fuel Pressure

[wlkjr]

I'll make a short report on how it goes when I get the new pump in. I spent less than $1000 in repairs last year. I guess it's about time to have to fork over some money in repairs but $300 is much less than 1 payment on a new one, so I figure I'm ahead of the game.

Hell yeah man. 320K miles? You've done pretty good with it. I've had mine 10 years now but with only 93K miles. I was serious about getting a new GTO but everytime I looked at one it looked pitiful and then I came across one at the dragstrip. It was even more pitiful. So I decided to keep her. I might consider a Japanese luxury or sport coupe next time around. Nice not having any payments on any of the cars or bikes now so that was a consideration. Two more kids to go to put through college.

If you get some pics and like contributing how about writing up a procedure and post at our new Tips & Maintenance subforum:

I think your procedure speaks for itself. Also I lost the digital camera in the breakup, so I'm pictureless.

UPS brought my new fuel pump this afternoon and it took less than an hour to get it back running.
Basically all you have to do is disconnect the battery(for safety)
relieve the pressure at the regulator, pull back the carpeting in the trunk and remove the access cover, unplug electrical connector and three hoses, use needle nose pliers or snap ring pliers to remove snap ring, and gently pull up on old pump and remove. Use vasoline or other lubricant on new O ring and seat on tank and reinstall in reverse order. Piece of cake.
Thanks to Bob and Rich as usual and the others who replied.

Check in your trunk right behind your rear seat. Pull up the carpet, there should be an access panel for your fuel pump.
