Tacoma fuel pump help!

Hello,I decided to make an account to see if someone can please help me with my truck
I am proud owner of a 2013 Toyota Tacoma . She dies on me last week and ended up being fuel pump issue,no big deal but now that I have the new 1 ,there is no power at all going to the pump! Just the floater. I checked and pulled every fuse! Please help! Any mechanics or electricians around Houston Tx???

 

Did the connectors get plugged back into the top of the fuel bowl when you reinstalled the tank?

Not trying to be rude, just starting simple!

 

What do u mean by fuel bowl? There is 1 plug ontop of the tank where the pump is installed I put a volt meter and it only reads 11v when they key is in. But when i turn it i do not here the pump kick in

 

Also check the fuel pump relay under the hood in the fuse box. If that is unplugged or loose, you wont get any power at the fuel pump

 

The pump doesnt kick on with these trucks until you engage the starter. Have you tried starting the truck or are you just testing to see if you have power before doing so?

 

Fuel bowl is the white/cream colored bowl that drops into the tank and houses the pump/filter

 

I have 2013 pre runner 2.7 and I cant figure out witch blue relay it could be. I dont want to buy 1 without knowing witch 1 it can be. Do u have any idea ????

 

Ahh ok I will check that out. It was a new pump but maybe it came out defective. Can that be possible?

here's a thread with more info on the relay. Looks like the 2TR doesnt have a "fuel pump relay" but uses the c/open relay.

I would definitely say it's possible. I got a defective clutch right out of the box last november. Took me 5 months to figure out that a brand new plate was causing the nasty vibrations i was getting. Who did you buy the fuel pump from/what brand is it?

 

Yes sir I have started it, put starting fluid ,I even tried to jump start it and it does not seem to turn over... the only thing it reads is the gas level .that's how I know theres some current ...I'm really stuck atm

 

I bought a pump at advance auto parts and the brand is Delphi

 

How did the fuel filter/sock look when you pulled the old pump? Those are known to get clogged up from time to time..

 

Also, how many miles on the truck?

 

Very dirty!! I can see dirt and many insects inside of it. I went ahead and got a new pump and connected everything in place.

 

Shes is 2013 and it has 104k it's very early for the pump to go out so soon....are u located around Houston area???

 

Did you replace the filter/sock when you put the new pump in?

Plugs are due at 100k, that would be a cheap variable to eliminate. I dont think that's your problem though. Unfortunately, im not im a few hrs west of SA, but there are lots of smart folks down that way.

I switch my spark plugs around 50k and bought ngk spark plugs. There is no way that could be. Well thank u sir I will look into that relay u where showing me. Hopefully it's cheap fix. Last thing I want is to take it to the dealer...

 

Best of luck man! Hope you get this sorted out on the cheap!

Definitely would avoid going to the dealer at all costs.. THey will take you for a ride
