How to Replace the Fuel Pump in a 3000GT

The Mitsubishi 3000GT is a performance car and is also called the GTO. From 1991 through 1996, the 3000GT and the Dodge Stealth were manufactured identically. The fuel pump in a performance vehicle is directly involved in how well the engine runs. A clogged fuel pump will cause the engine to misfire, gas mileage to rise and performance to drop. Changing the fuel pump as soon as it begins to break down will prevent future problems.

Instructions

1

Park the Mitsubishi 3000GT on a flat, level surface, and set the parking brake. Open the hood, and disconnect the negative battery cable.

2

Place the jack under the front of the car at the center of the frame. Lift the vehicle, and place jack stands under the front axles.

3

Remove the cap to the fuel tank to release pressure on the fuel lines.

4

Follow the fuel line coming out of the fuel tank to locate the fuel pump. Unplug the fuel pumps wiring harness. Place a drip pan under the fuel pump. Loosen the hose clamps with a slotted screwdriver, and disconnect the fuel lines. Point the fuel lines at the drip pan when they come loose to catch any spilled fuel, then dab the ends of the lines with a rag to clean up the remaining fuel.

5

Remove the mounting bolts with a socket wrench. Remove the fuel pump.

6

Attach the new fuel pump, and tighten the mounting bolts with a socket wrench. Attach the fuel lines to the fuel pump and tighten the hose clamps with a slotted screwdriver. Plug in the fuel pumps wiring harness.

7

Remove the jack stands, and lower the car. Pump the gas pedal a few times to get fuel into the fuel lines.
