HELP!!! 1986 Accord Fuel Pump
I'm not getting fuel to my carb. I've replaced both fuel filters and am now looking at replacing the fuel pump. I'm having trouble locating the fuel pump. Could someone tell me where the fuel pump is? -- Mike Berry La Mesa, Calif. "I have to admit it's getting better, it's getting better all the time..." Lennon/McCartney |

Try the drawings at -- www.autozone.com Autozone's site is very good for make, model, and year specific repair info and component location information (1995 and older Hondas only, unfortunately). It doesn't get enough publicity here. Try either "component location" or the "repair guides" at the autozone site. For the fuel pump location, it says, "TRUNK AREA, PASSENGER SIDE, REAR OF WHEELWELL, UNDER FLOOR PANEL, UNDER ACCESS PLATE, MOUNTED IN TOP OF FUEL TANK" The repair guide says your car's fuel pump is mounted inside the fuel tank; skim through the whole repair guide site on replacing the fuel pump before proceeding.

Or have you checked to make sure that you're getting power back to the pump? Eric |
Re: HELP!!! 1986 Accord Fuel Pump
This is an easy job. I just did it on my 1988 Accord. In the trunk, under the carpet, there are two round covers. Under the left one is the fuel pump. First make sure you are getting power back there and everything. The fuel pump only runs when the car is running on the carbureted ones. You will need to bypass the relay to test this on the carbureted models. Let me know if you need more details. The access cover is held on with a tar-like substance. When I first took it off it was a hot day and it was in the sun and it popped off easily with a screw driver. When I took it off next it was cool and the thing didn't want to come off easily. Rather than risk bending it, I heated a 6" pot on the stove and then rested it on the cover. It softened the sealer and the cover came right off. Whatever you do, don't burn yourself or anything else. There is one hose, one wire and 8 nuts you have to take off. Then you just pull up on the pump. You'll probably need to twist it a little to unhook it from where it might hang up.
